Commentary
It had even gone through the
last lesson that the idolaters used to say, after hearing the miracles and
portents of earlier Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon Them), for putting
off the matter: We wish to see any extraordinary portent; i.e. if this hill –Safaa will
become of gold, certainly we shall believe. Allah Almighty replied to them
previously in this Chapter (Surah): We do not sanction to make them
believers in such a manner. We already sent down unto them Our Revelations; and
bestowed them sufficient sense and wisdom for their understanding. Now that
sense and wisdom is required to be examined; so that We may observe: whether it
recognizes Allah Almighty after looking these portents or otherwise. It has
been described about that matter again here that there is no deficiency of
Portents with Allah Almighty. Who will have the Portents, if He does not have?
Allah Almighty commands: O
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)! You had been
prepared for praying, as they said that this hill should become of gold. The
Muslims began also to consider their sayings as correct that if this hill
became of gold, certainly they would believe. Absolutely, they have been
swearing such a solemn strong oath that if there comes unto them a portent,
they will believe therein. How will they deny then? But you would have to know
that, if they did not believe after seeing such portents, then according to
certain rules, Divine punishment will be sent on them surely. And these people
have been entangled in the love of their old traditions and customs in such a
manner that it seems that they will never give up them. After that, they will
search any other pretext of disbelieving. Therefore, you should say to them:
Allah Almighty has all the Portents, which you demand, and those can be with
Him only. Moreover, if you disbelieved after that then you will live nowhere.
Then Allah Almighty addresses
the Muslims: what do you know about them? Shall they surely believe after
looking the Portents? The love of those old traditions has settled in their
hearts, upon which they are firm, and due to which, they have been reaping
advantage of the world. Asking for the Portents is a pretext only. And they
have been swearing, reason of which is that they are unable to guess the Divine
Power of Allah Almighty. And they consider that such Portents like “making the
entire hill of gold” are impossible.
Therefore, nobody can say that
after looking such powerful Portents, shall they believe certainly. Their
condition is pronouncing also that they will evade it by saying that the
Portents are a charm and magic etc. and then to continue going on their own
polytheistic way, they will try to make any other excuse.
It is known
from this lesson that creation of the world is of such type that all of the
believers and disbelievers (Muslims, Infidels, Idolaters and Atheists etc.)
will live here mutually including such Portents, by observing which of them,
the wise people adopt the Path of Islam.
