20. And if they argue with thee, (O Muhammad), say: I
have surrendered my purpose to Allah and (so have) those who follow me. And
say unto those who have rejected the Scripture and those who read not: Have
ye (too) surrendered? If they surrender, then truly they are rightly guided,
and if they turn away, then it is thy duty only to convey the message (unto
them). And Allah is Seer of (His) bondmen.

Commentary
‘Al-‘ummiy-yiina – (those who can
not read, illiterate persons), here it aims the Idolaters of Makkah,
who did not know about the Heavenly Scriptures. Thus, except some counted
persons, all inhabitants of this sacred city were illiterate and ignorant.
‘Al-balaag – (to convey the message), intent
from this word is to comfort the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him), that “if these people do not believe, then
you should not be confused. Your duty is to convey the Message and invite only.
It is not your responsibility to cause them to believe”.
The followers of the Scripture used to wrangle
that “we are also Muslims”. They are being described in this verse that
likewise hypothetical Islam is useless. Islam is that, which is held with the
Last Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)
and his followers ((may Allah Almighty be pleased upon them). That is to say,
the humankind should surrender himself to Islam as a whole. Look at Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him), the Refugees
(Muhajirin) and the inhabitants of Madinah (Ansaar)
(may Allah Almighty be pleased upon them). They sacrificed themselves, their
wealth, children and wives, their entire desired and beloved things for the
pleasure of Allah Almighty; confronting the polytheism, immorality, wickedness
and tyranny. Their eyes wait every time for the command of Allah Almighty that
no sooner they receive any order, than they obey it. Contrary to them, look at
yourselves; while you are alone, you accept that the Messenger of Allah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is on the right path.
Nevertheless, you think, “if we believed in his Messenger-hood, the wealth and
property of the world would be snatched”. Anyhow, after knowing the truth, if
you will not believe, that is your will, we have already
believed.
After that the Idolaters are being addressed,
“Have you surrendered too or ready to surrender? If you surrender even now,
then truly you are rightly guided, and if you turn away, then our duty is only
to preach Islam, to teach you difference between good and bad, and to convey
the Message of Allah Almighty unto you. Allah Almighty knows internal and
external circumstances of all”.
