81. When Allah made (His) covenant with the Prophets, (He
said): Behold that which I have given you of the Scripture and knowledge, and
afterward there will come unto you a Messenger, confirming that which ye
possess, ye shall believe in him and ye shall help him. He said: Do ye agree,
and will ye take up My burden (which I lay upon you) in this (matter)? They
answered: We agree. He said: Then bear ye witness. I will be a witness with
you.

Commentary
The same fact has been repeated
in these verses, that no Prophet (peace be upon him) teaches the people for his
own devotion. He just teaches the worship of One God (Allah Almighty). Allah
Almighty has made covenant with the Prophets (peace be upon them) also as well
as the common people that when another prophet comes after anyone of you,
definitely he will testify the former Prophets and their Scriptures. Therefore,
it is important that the Prophet who has come earlier, he should believe in the
authenticity of the Prophet (peace be upon them) who would come later and help
him. If he does not find his time, then he should urge his nation perfectly
that they should believe in the upcoming Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon him) and help him. To bequest the people like this is also
included in helping him.
It manifests from this
verse that the covenant has been made with the entire Prophets (peace be upon
them) that they would believe in the last Prophet of Allah Almighty, Muhammad,
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and help him. Because he
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was coming in the last of all
the Prophets and all of them (peace be upon them) had passed over before his
arrival. Obviously, the entire prophets (peace be upon them) would have made
their covenants with their people. Therefore, Ali and Ibn-e-Abaas (may
Allah Almighty be pleased with them) said, “This type of covenant was made with
the Prophets” and the Holy Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon him) said himself, “If Mosses (peace be upon him) were living
today, there was no other chance for him without following me”. In addition,
commanded, “When Jesus (peace be upon him) will come again, he will decide
according to Holy Qur’an and Sayings of your Prophet (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him). It has been described in this verse
that Allah Almighty asked for more Emphasizing, “Do you affirm?” The entire
Prophets (peace be upon them) represented that they agreed to. Allah Almighty
ordered, “Then bear ye witness. I will be a witness with you”.
