Lesson
Bil-haqqi – (with the truth), it aims: We (Allah Almighty) have sent You
{O Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)} to Guide the human
beings unto the Truth. It also means that ‘You speak the truth always, produce clear
proofs and bright arguments for .
Bashiirun – (a bringer of glad-tidings), that is to say; those people,
who believe and follow the Commands and Instructions of God Almighty and His
Messenger (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) “Muhammad (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) is a bringer of glad-tidings of
happiness for them - betterment in this world and the Day of Resurrection as
retaliation of their good deeds”.
Naziirun –
(The Warner), namely Messenger (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him)
warns from bad results of evil-doing during their present life and the Day of
Resurrection to those people, who disbelieve, deny and violate”. These two
characteristics of the Last Messenger, Muhammad (glory, grace, blessings and
peace be upon Him) are very important.
The Infidels and the
Idolaters had doubts in Prophet-hood of the Messenger of Allah Almighty and the
Truth of Holy Qur’an and used to argue
that if God Almighty can talk with this Messenger (glory, grace, blessings and
peace be upon Him) then why does He not talk with us whereas we are also
mankind? Or why does He not bestow Him {Muhammad (glory, grace, blessings and
peace be upon Him)} a great miracle due to which the Prophet-hood and the Truth
may be proved automatically?
Replying to their objection,
God Almighty commanded: Do you ask for one miracle? We have bestowed many
miracles to Our Messenger (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him), but
only those people will believe in Him (glory, grace, blessings and peace be
upon Him) who are truly desirous of the Truth whole heartily, have faith in the
Truth. Those people will not believe whose perspective is only to criticize and
produce the doubts.
Allah Almighty has
commanded in this verse to His Messenger (glory, grace, blessings and peace be
upon Him): We have sent You with the True Religion. The people, who will follow
You, they are Believers. For them, You are Bringer of glad-tidings for their
good works. However, those, who will not follow You, they are Infidels, they
will be thrown into the Fire of Hell. You are Warner for them for their bad consequence.
The Messenger’s duty is only to convey the Message of God Almighty. He (glory,
grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) is not responsible to make the Infidels
and Idolaters Muslim.
