Lesson
Kitaabun – (Book), every written thing is
called a book, whether that is small or large. Therefore, its meaning can be a magazine,
a letter, a thesis and a scripture etc. anything like them. Here it aims the Scripture
which Allaah Almighty bestowed upon His
Messengers (peace be upon Them).
Hukma –
(Command), this word has three meanings:
1.
Making decision
2.
A decision
3.
Such thing, on the basis of which,
the decision is finalized; that is to say; the law. The second name of it is
“Divine Law of the Religion”.
Nubuwwah – (Prophet-hood), that utmost attribute, which is
bestowed by Allaah Almighty due to the
purity of the heart. It is an inner thing which has direct connection with the
Light of Allaah Almighty. It is the
last promotion of human excellence, and whosoever acquired It, Allaah Almighty designated Him as His Messenger
by bestowing His Scripture and Command upon Him
(peace be upon Him). Every Messenger is a Prophet but it is not necessary that every
Prophet might be a Messenger.
Everyone can be a Saint (Vali), the Prophets are special people and
every Prophet is not a Messenger. The Last Messenger, our illustrious Master,
Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) is a Saint, a
Messenger, a Prophet (all in one). Apostleship and Prophet-hood ends on
Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).
wakkalNaa – (We entrusted), it is in past tense and its
source is tawkiil
and derived from wakaalatun. Wakaalatun means to take the responsibility of someone’s
work, the word Wakiil
is derived from it, which means an agent, an ambassador, a counselor, an attorney
etc. Tawkiil means
to put own responsibility, under supervision of someone else. The word Mu-‘akkal has
also been derived from the same origin, which means “anyone, who makes someone
else responsible for his own work”.
The names of many Prophets (peace
be upon Them) were mentioned in the previous verses, and it was described that
these people were standard-bearers of the Guidance of Allaah Almighty. In this verse, their three virtues have been
discussed which are last point of human excellence, as, Revelation of the Scripture
of Allaah Almighty, Guidance and
Divine Law of Religion, bestowed by God and
Bounty of Prophet-hood.
It is commanded: O Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): We gave some
of Them (peace be upon Them) our Scripture and bestowed new Divine Law of
Religion and appointed all of Them Prophets (peace be upon Them). You (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) have come also towards the people with a
Scripture and Guidance like Them. If these (people of Makkah) don’t believe in Your sayings, then you should not be
afraid, We have already determined other people. They will accept Your
Scripture and Command whole heartily and believe that You are a true Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).
This verse was revealed in Makkah before migration; it has very great
prediction, which came true exactly as told by the Messenger Allah Almighty (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) after His arrival at Madina.
