Commentary
It
was explained in the previous verse that disbelievers - the slaves of own
desires and those, who enjoy pastime fearlessly, say impudently: Neither shall
we accept and nor fear from threat. If you are really true then bring forth the
punishment upon us at once.
As
reply to their rudeness, Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
Him) was commanded: Tell them “The punishment is not in My power. Allah Almighty has kept it in
His own Control. His Word can neither be false and nor a lie and nor there is
anyone better decider than Him”.
A
secret has been disclosed in this verse: What predicament of the world was, if
the punishment would be in the power of any other than Allah Almighty? Knowledge and
endurance of the mankind, both are limited. If power of torment due to
disobedience, is given to the human being, then he will never delay punishing
anyone.
Contrary
to this, Knowledge of Allah Almighty
has surrounded the entire circumstances completely. He is Aware entirely of the
consequences of every action. One of His Attributes is “The Wise”. He has
complete Knowledge regarding its philosophy and proper time. He is Forbearer
also, Who can loosen the defaulter. Along with it, He knows thoroughly the
condition of the guilty. Peculiarity of the wicked deed/sin and its quantity,
all is clear on Him.
If
the human beings were given the power of torment, then the world would have
been destroyed very earlier. Among the mankind, the Messengers (peace be upon
Them) have more knowledge, mildness and patience given by Allah Almighty than the common
people. While the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has
been commanded: If I had that (torment) for which you are impatient, then would
the case sooner than this have been decided between Me and you, in that case,
what the mention of others?
Now
listen to the meaning of the verse. Allah Almighty
addresses to His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) –
Say to the deniers, who demand torment from you: If I had that for which you
are impatient, then would the case had been decided between Me and you, but the
matter is in the Control of Allah
Almighty. He will send down punishment on you, whenever He will consider
it reasonable.
Allah Almighty
has manifested the Position of His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace
be upon Him) in these verses that neither is it His duty to show favor of,
flatter any mankind, displease upon someone and punish him, and nor to compel
any person for embracing Islam.
His
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) duty is only to convey the
Command of Allah Almighty
to the human beings, whenever it is revealed upon Him, and cause to know the
people in a well manner through preaching, instructing and acting upon It
Himself, that everything is in the Divine Power and Control of Allah Almighty.
