183. (The same are) those who say:
Lo! Allah hath ordained us that we believe not in any messenger until he
bring us an offering which fire (from heaven) shall devour. Say (unto them, O Muhammad):
Messengers came unto you before me with miracles, and with that (very
miracle) which ye describe; why then did ye slay them? (Answer that) if ye
are truthful!
184. And if they deny thee, even so
did they deny messengers who were before thee, who came with miracles and
with the Scriptures and the luminous Book.

Lesson
Qurbaanin – (an offering, a sacrifice),
during the ancient times, some Messengers (peace be upon them) were given this
miracle that when they used to offer or sacrifice anything in the Name of Allah
Almighty, at that time a fire (from heaven) used to devour that particular
thing. That devouring of the thing by the fire was considered a sign of
acceptance of the offering or sacrifice by Allah Almighty. An event which
belonged to Prophet Solomon (peace be upon him) like this has been recorded in
the present Bible. The Jews caught an evasion from it and said to the Messenger
of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) that Allah
Almighty has told them that they should not believe in that Prophet (peace be
upon him), who does not have this miracle.
It was a false
evasion of the Jews. There was no order of this type in any Scripture. Neither
it exists today, nor can it be proved in respect of every Prophet (peace be
upon him). Allah Almighty has bestowed the miracle to every Prophet (peace be
upon him) separately, which were suitable according to his circumstances
respectively. Therefore, Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon him) said to the Jews, “If you are true to your promise and
you do not believe in any Prophet (peace be upon him) till the time that you do
not see this miracle in to him, then tell me ‘why did you slay those ancient
Prophets (peace be upon them), who had brought the tokens of their truth, and
they had also this specific miracle? The condition, which is being stipulated
by you, that is only a pretense and trick”.
Allah Almighty
satisfied His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) that he
would not be sad and sorrowful due to those people’s absurd reasoning and
perverseness. Many Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them) were sent
before you, who were falsified by the people.
