وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
25:59; 33:49.
Commentary:
The Surah has given a brief account of the teachings of seven great Prophets of God and of the persecution and opposition they had to meet at the hands of their enemies and of the sad end to which the latter came on account of their rejecting the Divine Message. The account of every Prophet ended with the highly significant words, viz. "And thy Lord—He is the Mighty, the Merciful," meaning that God possessed the power to punish the rejecters and persecutors of the Prophets and was Merciful to those who believed in them. After this account the Holy Prophet has been commanded to preach his message and has been told that like the Prophets mentioned above he would also face fierce opposition and persecution. He has been further enjoined to pray and to put his trust in the Mighty and Merciful God, the injunction implying that those who will persist in opposing and persecuting him will experience God’s might but those who will accept him will be shown mercy.
