20. And if they argue
with thee, (O Muhammad), say: I have surrendered my purpose to Allah and (so
have) those who follow me. And say unto those who have rejected the Scripture
and those who read not: Have ye (too) surrendered? If they surrender, then
truly they are rightly guided, and if they turn away, then it is thy duty
only to convey the message (unto them). And Allah is Seer of (His) bondmen.

Commentary
‘Al-‘ummiy-yiina – (those who can not
read, illiterate persons), here it aims the Idolaters of Makkah, who did not know about the Heavenly Scriptures. Thus,
except some counted persons, all inhabitants of this sacred city were
illiterate and ignorant.
‘Al-balaag – (to convey the
message), intent from this word is to comfort the Messenger of Allah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), that “if these people do not
believe, then you should not be confused. Your duty is to convey the Message
and invite only. It is not your responsibility to cause them to believe”.
The
followers of the Scripture used to wrangle that “we are also Muslims”. They are
being described in this verse that likewise hypothetical Islam is useless.
Islam is that, which is held with the Last Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and his followers ((may Allah Almighty
be pleased upon them). That is to say, the humankind should surrender himself
to Islam as a whole. Look at Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah
Almighty be upon him), the Refugees (Muhajirin)
and the inhabitants of Madinah (Ansaar) (may Allah Almighty be pleased
upon them). They sacrificed themselves, their wealth, children and wives, their
entire desired and beloved things for the pleasure of Allah Almighty;
confronting the polytheism, immorality, wickedness and tyranny. Their eyes wait
every time for the command of Allah Almighty that no sooner they receive any
order, than they obey it. Contrary to them, look at yourselves; while you are
alone, you accept that the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon him) is on the right path. Nevertheless, you think, “if we
believed in his Messenger-hood, the wealth and property of the world would be
snatched”. Anyhow, after knowing the truth, if you will not believe, that is
your will, we have already believed.
After
that the Idolaters are being addressed, “Have you surrendered too or ready to
surrender? If you surrender even now, then truly you are rightly guided, and if
you turn away, then our duty is only to preach Islam, to teach you difference
between good and bad, and to convey the Message of Allah Almighty unto you.
Allah Almighty knows internal and external circumstances of all”.
