Lesson
The same fact
has been repeated in these verses, that none Prophet (peace be upon him)
teaches the people for his own devotion. He just teaches the worship of one God
(Allah Almighty). Allah Almighty has made covenant with the Prophets (peace be
upon them) also as well as the common people that when another prophet comes
after anyone of you, definitely he will verify the former Prophets and their
Scripture. Therefore, it is important that the Prophet, who has come earlier,
he should believe in the authenticity of the Prophet (peace be upon them) who
came later and help him. If he does not find his time, then he should urge his
nation perfectly that they should believe in the Messenger, Muhammad (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him), who will come at the end of all
Prophets (peace be upon Them) and help Him. To bequest the people like this; is
also included in helping him.
It
manifests from this verse that the promise has been made with the entire
Prophets that they would believe in the last Prophet of God Almighty, Muhammad,
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and help him. Because he
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was coming in the last of the entire
Prophets and all of them (peace be upon them) had passed over before his
arrival. Obviously, the entire prophets (peace be upon them) would have made
their covenants with their people.
Therefore, hazrat Ali and Ibn-e-Abaas (may Allah Almighty be pleased with
them) said, “This type of covenant was made with the Prophets” and the Holy
Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) said
himself, “If Mosses (peace be upon him) were living today, there was no other opportunity
for him without following me”. In addition, commanded, “When Jesus (peace be
upon him) will descend, he will decide according to the commands of Holy Qur-’aan and circumcision of your
Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). It has been described
in this verse that God Almighty asked for more Emphasizing, “Do you affirm?”
All the Prophets (peace be upon them) represented that they agreed to. Allah
Almighty ordered, “Then bear ye witness. I will be a witness with you”.
