据说神圣的先知曾说过, 伊斯兰的最初三百年是它的最兴旺时期, 后来由于谬误出现了一个长达一千多年的黑暗时期 (تِرْمِذِی, Tirmidhi)。这一千年的时间就像是一天 (32:6)。在这一时期内一个蓝眼睛的民族崛起, 并散居在全世界 (20:103, 104)。即是这些具有蓝眼睛的, 由于拥有巨富及政治势力而自夸自大, 被形容是向穆圣挑战以加速其惩罚日子到来的人。穆圣说, 那惩罚将会在指定与受约的日子里突然袭击他们。
26:205; 27:72; 29:54, 55; 37:177; 51:15.
The Holy Prophet is reported to have said that the first three centuries of Islam would be its best period after which falsehood would spread and a period of darkness would set in which would extend to over a thousand years (Tirmidhi). This period of a thousand years is likened to one day (32:6). In this period a people, having blue eyes would arise and spread all over the earth (20:103, 104). It is these people having blue eyes who in their conceit and arrogance, born of their material glory and political power, are depicted as challenging the Holy Prophet to hasten on the punishment which, he said, would overtake them at the appointed and promised time.

Commentary:
The reference in this verse is to a mighty event in the history of Islam. The Holy Prophet is reported to have said that the first three centuries of Islam would be its best period after which falsehood would spread and a period of darkness would come and this period of darkness would extend to over a thousand years (Tirmidhi). This period is likened to one day in the present verse and in 32:6. In this period of moral and spiritual decadence of Muslims a people having blue eyes were to arise who were to spread all over the earth and at whose hands Islam was destined to receive a serious setback (20:103-104). This period of political decadence of Islam and moral degeneration of Muslims in which they faced defeat and discomfiture at the hands of western Christian nations having blue eyes, began after the expiry of the third century of Hijrah and lasted up to the dawn of the 14th century when the Promised Messiah made his appearance. It is to these western people that the reference has been made in the words "And they ask thee to hasten on the punishment." In their conceit and arrogance born of material glory and political power, the western peoples came to labour under the misconception that their progress and glory would last forever. So they are depicted in the verse under comment as challenging the Holy Prophet to hasten on the punishment which he said would overtake them. To their implied taunt and gibe, the verse makes a reply that God had already made a promise that these western nations would be granted respite for one thousand years after which a terrible tribulation would overtake them and all their greatness and glory would become a thing of the past. Divine punishment would descend on their houses and the very soil on which they would be living would be rendered bleak and barren. They are warned that the punishment would be so severe, overwhelming and enveloping that one day of it would appear to them as a thousand years. See also 18:9 & 32:6.

这节经文提及伊斯兰教在它兴衰交替的经历中命定要遇到的非常严重的危机。伊斯兰教在它的历程的最初三个世纪中必然是一个持续发展和成功的时期。据说穆圣曾经明确地暗示过这一事实, 他说, “最好的一个世纪是我活着的这个世纪, 而后是下一个世纪, 而后是再一个世纪” (تِرْمِذِی و بُخَارِی كِتابُ الشَّهَادَات, Tirmidhi & Bukhari, Kitabush Shahadat)。在最初三个世纪的连续胜利之后, 伊斯兰教开始衰落。这种衰退的过程在以后的千年中进行下去。“而后在一天之内上升回到他那里, 这一天的时间按照你们的计算是一千年。” 这句话所指的是这一千年的时期。据传, 他在另一次讲话中曾说过, 这一宗教将上升到昴 (宿) 星团 (Pleiades), 而一个波斯血统的人将把它带回地球 (بُخَارِی كِتابُ التَّفْسِيْر, Bukhari, Kitabut Tafsir)。伊历纪元第十四世纪主许迈喜合显现后, 这个衰退过程已经停止, 伊斯兰教复兴时期已经开始。
بہائی لوگ اس آیت کے غلط معنے کرکے مسلمانوں کو بہکاتے ہیں وہ کہتے ہیں کہ اسلام کی زندگی صرف ایک ہزار سال ہے پھر وہ منسوخ ہو جائے گا اور بہائی مذہب اس کی جگہ لے لے گا۔ حالانکہ آیت کے معنی صاف ہیں کہ اسلام ہزار سال میں آسمان پر چڑھے گا۔ اس کے معنے منسوخ ہونے کے نہیں ہو سکتے۔ کیونکہ منسوخ تو ایک آیت سے ایک منٹ میں ہو جاتا ہے۔ درحقیقت اس آیت میں بتایا گیا ہے کہ ایک ہزار سال تک مسلمان دنیا میں کمزور ہوتے جائیں گے۔ اس کے بعد محمد رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی پیشگوئیوں کے مطابق اسلام کو قائم کرنے والا مامور آجائے گا۔ اور اسلام پھر مضبو طی سے قائم ہو جائے گا۔ چنانچہ اسی سور
The verse refers to a very serious crisis that was destined to come over Islam in its chequered career. Islam was to pass through a period of sustained progress and prosperity during the first three centuries of its life. The Holy Prophet is reported to have pointedly alluded to this fact in his saying: 'The best century is the one in which I live, then the next century, then the century after that '(Tirmidhi & Bukhari, Kitabush-Shahadat). Islam began to decline after the first three centuries of uninterrupted conquests. The process of decline and decay continued in the next thousand years. It is to this period of a thousand years that reference has been made in the words, then will it go up to Him in a day the duration of which is a thousand years.

Commentary:
As mentioned above the principal theme of the Surah under comment is the progressive expansion and eventual triumph of Islam. In the present verse, however, reference has been made to a very serious crisis that was destined to come over Islam in its chequered career. Islam was to pass through a period of sustained progress and prosperity during the first three centuries of its life. The Holy Prophet is reported to have pointedly alluded to this fact in a well-known saying, viz. خیر القرون قرنی ثم الذین یلونھم الخ i.e. the best century is the one in which I live, then the next century, then the century after that. Then there will spread falsehood at the hands of people who will take pride in their wealth and riches and will grow fat on the earnings of others (Tirmidhi & Bukhari, Kitabush-Shahadat). As foretold in this saying of the Prophet, Islam began to decline after the first three centuries of uninterrupted conquests and growing prosperity, till it suffered a very serious check in about 271 A.H. when its gradual decline set in. The process of decline and decay continued till it reached its nadir in the next one thousand years. It is to this period of a thousand years that reference has been made in the words, then shall it go up to Him in a day the duration of which is a thousand years. In another of his sayings the Holy Prophet is reported to have said that Faith will ascend to the Pleiades and a man of Persian descent, namely the Promised Messiah, will bring it back to the earth (Bukhari, Kitabut-Tafsir). With the appearance of the Promised Messiah in the 14th century A.H., the process of decay has been arrested and a renaissance of Islam has taken place. The indications are, and prophecies in Divine Scriptures and those in the Hadith lend support to the inference, that the present renaissance of Islam will extend over a much longer period and its spiritual conquests will not stop unless they have embraced in their orbit almost the entire globe.
