In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful
رُّسُلًا مُّبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ حُجَّةٌۢ بَعْدَٱلرُّسُلِ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا (165
لَّٰكِنِ ٱللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ إِلَيْكَ أَنزَلَهُۥ بِعِلْمِهِۦ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ يَشْهَدُونَ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ شَهِيدًا (166
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَصَدُّوا۟ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ قَدْ ضَلُّوا۟ ضَلَٰلًۢا بَعِيدًا (167
165. (We
sent) messengers of
good cheer and of
warning, in
order that mankind
might have
no argument against
Allah
after the
messengers. And
Allah is ever
Mighty, Wise.
166. But
Allah (Himself)
testifieth concerning
that
which He hath
revealeth
unto thee; in His
knowledge
hath He revealed
it; and the
angels also
testify. And
Allah is
Sufficient Witness.
167. Lo!
Those who disbelieve and hinder (others) from the Way of Allah, they verily
have wandered far astray.

Commentary
Li-‘allaa – actually these are three alphabetical letters – li, ‘an, laa. It means – in
order that – no. In writing usually it is written li-‘allaa. The letter “n” is deleted.
Sadduu - they hindered, it is from sadd,
which means ‘to hinder, to prevent, to disallow, to refrain’. Zalluu – (to stray), It has been made
from the word zalaal, which means ‘to lose the way’. Zalluu zalaalam-ba-‘iidaa - they have adopted wrong path and
wandered far astray after leaving the true Way.
Allah Almighty
says in this verse, “We sent many Messengers (peace be upon them) heretofore.
It was their duty to cause to hear the people good cheer, who do well, that
they will be given very good retaliation (reward) of their good deeds, and warn
them who are evildoers, that they will be oppressed by different types of
adversities and will be punished very severely.
Aim
to send the Messengers (peace be upon them) was that the people may not argue
and evade on the Doomsday that they did not know about the Straight Path. They
might say, “If we had known about the correct way, surely we would have adopted
it”. After sending the Messengers (peace be upon them), now they cannot say
these words, because they (peace be upon them) have told the people very
clearly about the truth. Now if they do not obey them (peace be upon them),
then they will be punished according to their deeds.
If Allah Almighty wished, He was able to direct
all the human beings forcibly towards the Straight Path, because He is ever
Mighty and very Wise. But His Wisdom and Plan wished to empower them and give
them reward or punishment of deeds. Then it has been emphasized, “We have
determined the Holy Qur’aan for perfect guidance of the humankind
for entire times, and We testify it and the Angels (peace be upon them) are
also its witnesses that It has all necessary things, which human beings need”.
