Commentary
Kitaabun –
(Book), every written thing is called a book, whether that is small or large.
Therefore, its meaning can be a magazine, a letter, a thesis and a scripture
etc. anything like them. Here it aims the Scripture
which Allah Almighty revealed unto His Messengers (peace be upon
Them).
Hukma –
(Command), this word has three meanings:
1. Making decision
2. A decision
3. Such thing, on the basis of which, the decision is finalized;
that is to say; the law. The second name of it is “Divine Law of the Religion”.
Nubuwwah –
(Prophet-hood), that utmost attribute, which is bestowed by Allah Almighty
due to the purity of the heart. It is an inner thing which has direct
connection with the Light of Allah Almighty. It is the last
promotional degree of human excellence, and whosoever acquired
It, Allah Almighty designated Him as His Messenger by bestowing His Scripture
and Command upon Him (peace be upon Him). Every Messenger is a Prophet but it
is not necessary that every Prophet might be a Messenger.
Everyone can be a Saint (Walii),
the Prophets are special people and every Prophet is not a Messenger. The Last
Messenger, our illustrious Master, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace
be upon Him) is a Saint, a Messenger, a Prophet (all in one). Apostleship and
Prophet-hood ends on Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).
wakkalNaa – (We
entrusted), it is in past tense and its source is tawkiil and
derived from wakaalatun. Wakaalatun means “to take the
responsibility of someone’s work”, the word Wakiil is derived
from it, which means an agent, an ambassador, a counselor, an attorney
etc. Tawkiil means to put own responsibility, under
supervision of someone else. The word Mu-‘akkal has also been
derived from the same origin, which means “anyone, who makes someone else
responsible for his own work”.
The names of many Prophets
(peace be upon Them) were mentioned in the previous verses, and it was
described that those people were standard-bearers of the Guidance
of Allah Almighty. In this verse, their three virtues have been
discussed which are last point of human excellence, as, Revelation of the
Scripture of Allah Almighty, Guidance and Divine Law of Religion,
bestowed by God and Bounty of Prophet-hood.
It is commanded:
O Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): We gave some
of Them (peace be upon Them) our Scripture and bestowed new Divine Law of Religion
and appointed all of Them as Prophets (peace be upon Them). You (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) have come also towards the people with a
Scripture and Guidance like Them. If these (people of Makkah) don’t
believe in Your sayings, then you should not be afraid, We have already
determined other people. They will accept Your Scripture and Command
wholeheartedly and believe that You are a true Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him).
This verse was
revealed in Makkah before departure; it has a very great
prediction, which came true exactly as told by the Messenger of Allah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) after His arrival at Madinah.
