41. But how (will it be with them) when We bring of
every people a witness, and We bring thee (O Muhammad) a witness against
these?
42. On that Day those who disbelieved and disobeyed the
Messenger will wish that the earth were leveled over them, and they can hide
no fact from Allah.

Commentary
Shahiidun – (witness),
the words shaahid, shahaadat, shahuud, mash-huud, mushaahidah etc.
and many other likewise words have been derived from the same origin. In the
meanings of this word, presence and evidence of someone are hidden. The witness
is called Shaahid and Shahiid because he observes the
particular event in his presence and knows its circumstances very well.
‘Alaa
haaa-‘ulaaa-‘i Shahiidaa – (a witness against
these people). In the beginning of Part – 2, the Muslims were described as “ye
may be witnesses against mankind” (shu-hadaaa-‘a ‘alan-naas) and
the last Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah
Almighty be upon him) as “the Messenger may be witness against you (the
Muslims)” (verse # 2:143). Moreover, in this verse, “and We bring thee (O
Muhammad) a witness against these” (wa ji’-naa bika
‘alaa haaa-‘ulaaa-‘i Shahiidaa) has been mentioned. That is to
say, the last Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah
Almighty be upon him) may be witness against the entire nations and folks of
the world. All previous
nations, Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them) are included in the
meanings of haaa-‘ulaaa-‘i.
Allah Almighty commands that a
witness will be present against each nation in the Day of Resurrection. They
(peace be upon them) will give evidence about the deeds, character, faith and
infidelity of their people. In addition, last Messenger of Allah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him) will give
evidence about the truth of those Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them).
And he (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him) will
give evidence too about the behavior of their nations, which those nations
upheld with the Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them).
On the Day of Reckoning, there
will be no form of rescue for those who disbelieved in Allah Almighty and
disobeyed their Messengers and Prophets (peace be upon them). They will not be
able to hide anything despite their thousands of vain attempts. They will wish
in this condition of confusion and repentance (regret and shame), “Would that!
The earth were cracked, we were caused to enter in it and it leveled over us so
that we could get freedom from this torment”.
