purpose) of Allah to leave you in your present state till He shall separate
the wicked from the good. And it is not (the purpose of) Allah to let you
know the Unseen, but Allah chooseth of His Messengers whom He will, (to

believe and ward off (evil), yours will be a vast reward

Lesson
It was told in
the previous verse that which further rein of prosperity has been given to the
Infidels, that is not a proof that they have become graceful near Allah
Almighty. Now it is being described, “It is not true also that the Muslims have
suffered from disasters and unpleasant events, therefore they have incurred
displeasure of Allah Almighty. Actually, Allah Almighty does not desire to keep
the Muslims always in their present condition, in which state they remained
until now”. That is to say, many Infidels used to play the game of hypocrisy in
the cloak of Muslim-hood. They have been staying on infidelity while they used
to recite ‘Kalimah’ (the Muslim confession of faith), “Laa ‘ilaaha
‘illAllaahu, Muhammad-ur-RasuulAllaah” (there is no
(other God) but Allah, and Muhammad is His apostle) (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) from their
mouths. And they remained mixed up with the Muslims to deceive them. Moreover,
Allah Almighty produced such circumstances to save the Muslims from the
deception of Hypocrites, due to which, it might be distinguished between the
pure and the impure, and separated the good from the bad.
Although, it was
very easy for Allah Almighty to disclose the names of Hypocrites without
putting the entire Muslims in trial, but it is not suitable according to the Knowledge
and sagacity of Allah Almighty, that He should manifest such confidential
matters to the entire people. However, He has chosen Messengers/Prophets out of
the humankind for this purpose and told them the knowledge of mysteries as much
as He wished.
It also appears
from this verse that the knowledge of mysteries is not delivered directly to
the entire people, but only to the Prophets and Messengers, (peace be upon
them). Your only duty is to, “Believe in the Word of Allah Almighty (Holy Qur’aan), Sayings of His last Messenger
Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and adopt the life of
sobriety. If you did so, then you should comprehend that you have gotten everything.
Then there will be a great reward for you”.
