وَقُلْ جَآءَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ ٱلْبَٰطِلُ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلْبَٰطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقًا
21:19; 34:50.
这是 «古兰经» 措词方面的一种奇迹: 为了传达某一种意义, 它选择那一特殊的单词来指一长串连续发生的事情。在这一特殊的例子中, “虚假消灭” 的意义也可以用诸如 هَلَكَ (Halaka, 灭亡) 或 بَطَلَ (Batala, 成为无用) 等单词来表达。但以上两个单词都不能传达用 زَهَقَ (Zahaqa) 来表达的意义: 即逐渐衰弱而最终消失。这节经文包含这样一个暗示, 穆圣进入麦地那, 他的力量将继续生长, 而他的敌人的力量逐渐衰退直至最后崩溃。而且, «古兰经» 的文体也是一种奇迹, 它虽然不是一首长诗, 但它的经文却具有诗的韵律和节奏, 如果没有这些的话, 那就不可能充分表达极端欣喜的感情。现在注释的这节经文就是这样的一个例子。征服麦加之后, 当穆圣在清除天房中亵渎该寺的许多偶像时, 他一面打碎这些偶像, 一面不断诵读这节经文 (布哈理)。
21:19; 34:50.
It is among the marvels of Quranic diction that to convey a certain sense it selects that particular word which points to a long sequence of events. In this particular instance the sense of the vanishing of falsehood might as well have been expressed by some other word such as Halaka (perished) or Batala (became useless), but neither of these words would have conveyed the sense of gradual weakening and ultimate disappearance which is expressed by Zahaqa. The verse contains the hint that with the entry of the Holy Prophet into Medina, his power would continue to grow and that of his enemy decline till it would be finally broken. Again, it is a marvel of the style of the Qur’an that, without being poetry, its verses possess poetic rhythm and cadence without which it is not possible to give full expression to feelings of extreme delight. The verse under comment furnishes one such example. After the conquest of Mecca as the Holy Prophet was clearing the Ka‘bah of the idols which had de

Important Words:
زھق (has vanished away). They say زھق الباطل i.e. falsehood gradually weakened. زھق الشیء means, the thing perished, passed away or came to naught; became null, void or of no effect. زھقت نفسه means, his soul departed; he died (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
This verse implies a beautiful hint that with the entry of the Holy Prophet into Medina his power would continue to grow and that of his enemy decline till it would be finally broken. So it came to pass when by the conquest of Mecca idolatry disappeared from Arabia forever.
The word زھق which has been translated as "has vanished away" actually conveys, as shown under Important Words, the sense of gradual weakening and ultimate disappearance. It is among the marvels of Quranic diction that to convey a certain sense it selects that particular word which points to a long sequence of events. In this particular instance the sense of the vanishing of falsehood might as well have been expressed by the word ھلك (perished) or بطل (became useless, vain or ineffective) but neither of these words would have conveyed the sense of gradual weakening and ultimate disappearance which is expressed by the word زھق. This word, in fact, implies a prophecy of the gradual weakening and ultimate disappearance of idolatry from Mecca, which was literally fulfilled as foretold.
It is another marvel of the style of the Quran that, without being poetry, its verses possess that poetic rhythm and cadence without which it is not possible to give full expression to feelings of extreme delight. The verse under comment furnishes one such example. After the conquest of Mecca when the Holy Prophet was busy clearing the Ka‘bah of the idols which had desecrated it, he repeated as he struck each of the idols the following verse of the Quran: وقل جاء الحق و زھق الباطل ان الباطل کان زھوقا i.e. And say, Truth has come and falsehood has vanished away. Falsehood does indeed vanish away fast. One can imagine the deep emotion the Prophet’s Companions must have felt when they watched him strike down the idols one after the other and repeat this Quranic verse in a measured tone. It is only natural that they spontaneously joined him in reciting this verse on that august occasion.

Commentary:
The metaphor of the last verse is continued in the present verse. It purports to say that Muslims will grow and prosper because God is Truth. He has revealed the truth which the Muslims follow and practise. Islam has come to stay because it is truth and truth is invincible while falsehood is perishable.
The words "Allah is the High, the Great" signify that it is impossible that a dispensation established by God should fail, as this would constitute a serious reflection on His Greatness and Glory.

بَاطِلٌ کے معنے جھوٹے کے بھی ہیں اور تباہ ہونے والے کے بھی۔ چونکہ یہ حقّ کے مقابلہ کا لفظ ہے‘ اس لئے باطل کے ہم نے وہی دونوں معنے کیے ہیں جو حقّ کے مقابل کے ہیں۔
Commentary:
The verse means to say that the whole phenomenon of the creation of universe and the laws that govern it and also those that determine the rise and fall of nations lead to but one conclusion that Allah is the Only True God, and that all else is false and perishable.

17:82; 21:19.
مطلب یہ ہے کہ سچی اور کامیاب تحریکیں حق سے پیدا ہوتی ہیں۔ باطل کوئی کامیاب تحریک نہیں چلا سکتا جو حق کے مقابلہ میں ٹھہر سکے اور جب حق آجائے اور باطل تباہ ہو جائے جیسا کہ فرمایا قُلْ جَآءَ الْحَقُّ وَ زَھَقَ الْبَاطِلُ (سورۂ بنی اسرائیل: ۸۲) تب باطل میں یہ طاقت نہیں ہوتی کہ وہ اپنی مردہ تحریک کو زندہ کر سکے یہ طاقت حق ہی میں ہے کہ وہ مرمر کر زندہ ہوتا ہے اور اپنے دشمنوں کو ناکام کرتا رہتا ہے جیسا کہ اسلام کی نشأۃ ِثانیہ اِس کا ثبوت دے رہی ہے۔

15:11.
یعنی یہ ایسی کتاب ہے کہ نہ اس کے سامنے باطل ٹھہر سکتا ہے اور نہ اس کی تعلیم کے جاری کرنے کے نتیجہ میں باطل کو کوئی مدد مل سکتی ہے۔ یہ اس لئے ہے کہ اس قرآن کو بڑی حکمت والے اور بڑی تعریفوں والے خدا کی طرف سے اتار گیا ہے۔

The Qur’an is such a wonderful Book that not one of the great truths, principles and ideals enunciated by it has ever been contravened or contradicted by ancient learning or modern science.
