人被创造以追寻一个十分崇高的精神命运, 安拉降下了阿丹、努哈、穆撒和穆圣这样的使者帮助他们, 以达到他的伟大目的; 如果他不恰当地利用他的天赋才能而拒绝安拉的启示并反对安拉的使者的话, 他要受到惩罚, 既然如此, 那么, 试问谁能很有理由地否认今生有最后的审判日并且后世也有?又怎么能否认杰出的审判者安拉的命谕遭到蔑视而可以获得免罪, 人的行为将没有报应?
When man has been created to achieve a very high spiritual destiny and God had sent His Messengers such as Adam, Noah, Moses and the Holy Prophet, to help him achieve his great goal, and if he does not make proper use of his natural faculties and rejects the Divine Message and opposes God’s Messengers, he is punished, then, who can, with reason, deny that there is a Day of Judgment in this life and also in the Hereafter and that the commandments of God Who is the Best Judge cannot be defied with impunity and man’s actions will not go unrequited?
Important Words:
دین (judgement) is inf. noun from دان which means, he obeyed. دین means, judgement; religion; compulsion against will; righteousness; argument; plan, etc. (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
The verse purports to say that when man has been created to achieve a very high spiritual destiny and God sent His Messengers such as Adam, Noah, Moses and the Holy Prophet, to help him achieve his great goal and that if he does not make proper use of his natural faculties and rejects the Divine Message, opposing God’s Messengers he is punished, then, who can, with reason, deny that there is a Day of Judgement in this life and in the Hereafter, and that the commandments of God Who is the Best of Judges cannot be defied with impunity and man’s actions will not go unrequited. This is the simple explanation of this verse. But in view of the different significations of the word دین given under Important Words, the verse may also mean:
(1) How can the pagan Quraish, after having seen the evil end to which opponents of God’s Messengers always come, possibly hope that they will escape God’s judgement and will not be punished and the Holy Prophet will not succeed?
(2) When God has been revealing the Shari‘ah from time immemorial, then why do disbelievers find fault with the Holy Prophet, if he has brought a new Law?
(3) The disbelievers can advance no sane or solid argument against the claim of the Holy Prophet. Any charge or objection they raise against him equally applies to all Divine Messengers.
(4) In view of the innumerable signs shown in favour of the Holy Prophet, no plan or argument can succeed against him or can disprove his claim.
(5) No truly righteous man can reject the Holy Prophet.
(6) After having known the tragic end of the opponents of God’s Messengers who will dare say that he can compel the Holy Prophet to give up his mission?
