Commentary
Bil-Haqq - (with truth),
it aims that earlier stories and portents are caused to hear the Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) without decrease or increase.
Using this word, it has been cleared also that Holy Qur‘an doesn’t
change the stories from good to bad like other Scriptures (amended by their
followers).
Minal-Mursaliin – (of the number
of messengers (peace be upon them), it is evident from this word that the
recognized position of Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon him) is like other Messengers (peace be upon them) too. Neither any
Messenger/Prophet is Self-Creator (God) and nor demi-god. Indeed the Holy Qur‘aan uses
the sound words for being saved from ascribing the plurality to Allah Almighty.
It is clear from this
verse also that as Prophet David (peace be upon him) was given knowledge and
wisdom by Allah Almighty, likewise the Messenger of Islam (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him) has also been exalted with these blessings by
Him (Allah Almighty).
Allah Almighty has
commanded in this verse that the previous stories, which We cause to here the
Messenger (Muhammad) (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), are quite
true. There is no doubt in those stories. There are uncountable advices in
these stories, which are useful like beacon for future nations and races. Allah
Almighty signifies to His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
him) about coming out of thousands people of the children of Israel from their
houses, dying suddenly and then coming back to life with the Command of Allah
Almighty, assaulting over them by Goliath, their request for making king for
them, Prophet Saul’s (peace be upon him) becoming king, giving him (peace be
upon him) greatness in knowledge and stature, returning of Ark, coming out by
Saul (peace be upon him) opposite to Goliath, killing the Goliath by David
(peace be upon him) and bestowing on him (peace be upon him) the sovereignty
and wisdom by Allah Almighty. God Almighty informs His Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him) about all these matters and we have advice in
these stories.
God Almighty commanded
to His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) also, “You are
of the number of (Our) messengers” and it’s clear proof is that “We (Allah
Almighty) inspired unto you (Muhammad) past portents” and signs, and these
stories are used to reveal only towards the Messengers (peace be upon them).
While, neither you (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) have read
these stories in any book, nor heard from any person, but have been reached you
by means of the Revelation of God Almighty.
Description of
uncountable incidents regarding earlier nations and Prophets/Messengers (peace
be upon them) exists in the Holy Qur’aan. Recitation and signs of
their conditions exist in every Surah (Chapter).
It is not intended
anywhere to write history and biography from these statements, but the
root cause is warning and advice. It is our duty that we should correct our
present in the light of the events of previous nations and meditate for future.
If we did not do so, then it would be our limitless negligence and stupidity.
