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.
