revealed (this Scripture) to thy heart by Allah’s leave, confirming that
which was (revealed) before it, and a guidance and glad-tidings to believers.

Lesson
Jibriila –
(Gabriel) it is the name of a great Angel (peace be upon Him). He has a very
sensitive responsibility as He conveys Revelations of God Almighty to the
Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon Them). He is counted as from the closely
to God Almighty and arch Angel.
In this verse, God
Almighty has opened some more secrets of the Jews’ false and meaningless
arguments. They used to say that, which torment used to descend over their
forefathers from time to time, the news of that punishment were revealed by
Gabriel (peace be upon Him). He was their national enemy. For whom out of
Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon Them) will He bring the revelation, they
will not accept Him (peace be upon Him). This Angel brings the Revelation
towards the Prophet of Islam, the last Messenger Muhammad (glory, grace, peace
and blessings be upon Him) also, besides this, He discloses their secrets,
conspiracies and plans over the Last Prophet Muhammad (glory, grace, peace and
blessings be upon Him), so they should not agree to accept Him (peace be upon
Him).
Allah Almighty has
replied in this verse that position of the Gabriel (peace be upon Him) is only
as an Angel who conveys the Messages of God Almighty to the Prophets and
Messengers (peace be upon Them). In fact, every type of command, order, agony, punishment
or Speech is revealed from Allah Almighty. The enmity of the Gabriel, some
other Angels and Messengers (peace be upon Them) is entirely meaningless and
the Infidels will be punished severely due to their enmity with God Almighty
Allah Almighty has described
three virtues of Holy Qur’an in this
verse:
•
It verifies the principles of previous Heavenly Scriptures.
•
This Holy Book guides towards the Straight Path.
•
It causes to hear happy news for the Believers about good rewards and success.

99. And verily
We have revealed unto thee clear verses, and only miscreants will disbelieve
in them.
100. Is it ever
so that when they make a covenant a party of them set it aside? The truth is,
most of them believe not.

99. Wa laqad ‘anzalnaaa ‘ilay-ka ‘Aayaatim- bayyinaat.
Wa maa yakfuru bihaaa ‘illal-faasi-quun.
100. ‘Awa- kullamaa ‘aahaduu ‘ahdan-nabazahuu
fariiqum-minhum. Bal ‘aksaruhum laa yu’-minuun.

Lesson
‘Aayaatim- bayyinaat – (clear verses), ‘Aayaat
means verses, literally it means ‘tokens’, ‘signs’. The word ‘Aayaat is used for many purposes i.e. punctuation in the Holy Qur’an,
Orders, Instructions, and Commands of God Almighty are also called ‘Aayaat, and all those speeches and
things which are signs of the Omnipotence of God Almighty, will be included in
its meanings.
Bayyinaat –
singular of this word is Bayyinah,
which means clear, bright. The meanings of this entire sentence may be the Holy
Qur’an too, as well as the Miracles
and Commands of God Almighty.
The Children
of Israel were materialists, so God Almighty bestowed upon their
Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon Them) Miracles outward and relating to
matter. Near to them, proof of the truth of any Prophet (peace be upon Him) was
that He (peace be upon Him) would have the Miracles. When the Last Prophet and
Messenger Muhammad (glory, grace, peace and blessings be upon Him) was sent,
the Children of Israel said surprisingly, “of what sort is this
Prophet? He has no sign or token of prophet-hood. Replying them, Allah Almighty
commanded, “You demand one sign of Prophet-hood, We have bestowed many signs
and tokens to Our Messenger (glory, grace, peace and blessings be upon Him) and
those signs & tokens are neither hidden, nor dim. Moreover, these are clear
and bright verses, which may be seen by everyone. After looking them, any individual,
who has true nature, cannot deny from them. Only those people will disbelieve,
who has become habitual of breaking the Laws of God Almighty and violating His Commands.
History of the Children
of Israel has been filled with the happenings of treachery, breaking
the covenants, disobeying and violence. Whenever, any Messenger of Allah
Almighty brought the Clear Verses towards them, they falsified Him. Moreover,
after making the covenant to obey God Almighty and His Prophet (glory, grace,
peace and blessings be upon Him), they did not remain firm on it. This habit of
refusal and disobeying of the Jews stopped them to accept the prophet-hood of
the Last Messenger Muhammad (glory, grace, peace and blessings be upon
Him).
