74. And if We had not
made thee wholly firm thou mightest almost have inclined unto them a little.
75. Then had We made
thee taste a double (punishment) of living and a double (punishment) of
dying, then hadst thou found no helper against Us.

Commentary
Tarkanu – (you had inclined), this
word has been derived from rakan, origin of which is rukuun. Rukuun
means “to incline a little”.
Zi’-fa – (double), we can understand easily
from the sentence that here it aims “a double punishment”.
Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him) was naturally gentle and tolerant. Burden
bearing and hospitality for others was His natural habit. But He (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him) was unaware of ambition and greed. So when the
Idolaters enticed Him of worldly wealth, treasures and luxuries, He (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him) did not care. As His habit of taking
everything of the world normal was surprising for His enemies at that time,
even today; the same habit has been producing fear and awe in the hearts of the
people of the entire world along with astonishment.
But because of His natural civility, perhaps He (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him) could imagine lightly for removing
disputes that “if by showing some favor; enmity of those people can be
lessened; then probably those people become ready to hear the Truth”.
Allah Almighty commanded for any such occasion: We
have sent You for saving the mankind from evil matters of the world. Your grade
is as much higher that You can never think to fall short in describing the
Truth for the sake of any individual. If You had inclined unto them a little,
then We had made You taste a double punishment – in the world; as well as in
the Hereafter (God protect), and there would be no helper of You to save from
the punishment. However, it was good that We made You wholly firm at your place
by Our Power and no commotion happened in Your determination and intension.
