Commentary:
God chose leaders of religious movements from among the progeny of Abraham in fulfilment of his prayer referred to in 2:125. A similar promise in regard to the raising of Divine Reformers in every age from among his followers was made to the Holy Prophet (Abu Dawud). This promise is also implicit in the famous prayer, i.e. Darud, viz. "O Lord bestow thy blessings upon Muhammad as Thou didst bestow Thy blessings upon Abraham." Divine Reformers continued to appear among the progeny of Abraham till, with the rejection of Jesus by the Jews, they were deprived of this boon for all times and prophethood was transferred to the House of Ishmael in fulfilment of the above-said prayer. Divine teachers are now raised from among the followers of the Holy Prophet in every century to regenerate Islam and they will continue to do so till the end of time. The fulfilment of the prayer implicit in Darud establishes the superiority of the Holy Prophetover Abraham because whereas Divine teachers ceased to appear among the progeny of Abraham after Jesus, they will continue to appear among his followers as long as this world lasts.

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ
经文 “日月被集合在一起” 可以表示整个太阳系将彻底瓦解。这节经文的意思也可指阿拉伯人的政权和伊朗帝国的政权的垮台, 月亮是前者政权的象征, 太阳是后者的象征。这里也可以指月蚀和日蚀。根据圣训, 月蚀和日蚀将在受道教长 (مَهْدِی, Mahdi) 来临的时候在斋月里发生 (بَيْهَقِی, Baihaqī), 这是一个不同寻常的自然现象。这是够奇怪的, 1894 年斋月中日蚀和月蚀都发生了, 当时阿哈默底亚运动的创始人已宣称自己是主许迈喜合和受道教长。
یہ آخری زمانہ میں ظاہر ہونے والی ایک اہم پیشگوئی کی طرف اشارہ ہے۔ یعنی رمضان کے مہینہ میں سورج اور چاند کو گرہن لگنے کی طرف۔
The expression, 'the sun and the moon are brought together,' may signify that the whole solar system will be completely disrupted. Or, the verse may signify the destruction of the political power of the Arabs and of the Iranian empire, the moon being the symbol of the political power of the former and the sun that of the latter. Or, the reference may be to the lunar and solar eclipses which, according to a Hadith, were to occur in the time of the Promised Mahdi in the month of Ramadan (Baihaqi), it being quite an unusual natural phenomenon. Strangely enough, both the sun and the moon were eclipsed in the month of Ramadan in 1894 when the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement had already made the claim that he was the Promised Messiah and Mahdi.

The hadith is to the following effect: ان لمھدینا اٰیتین لم تکونا منذ خلق السموات و الارض الخ i.e. For our Mahdi there are two signs which have never been witnessed since the time when the heavens and the earth were created, viz. that the moon will be eclipsed on the first night and the sun on the second day in the month of Ramadan(Baihaqi). This meant that the day of the final triumph of Islam and that of the defeat and destruction of the forces of evil will dawn with the Mahdi’s appearance in the world. Strangely enough, both the sun and the moon were eclipsed in the month of Ramadan in 1894 after Ahmad, the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement had made the claim that he was the Promised Messiah and Mahdi.

每一个先知或复兴者都是一个见证人 (شَاهِد, Shahid), 因为他亲眼目睹安拉的存在, 他也是受见证的人 (مَشْهُوْد, Mashhud), 因为安拉假借他的双手显示征象和奇迹, 从而证明他的真理。但是就像经文所表明的, 这里的见证人就是主许迈喜合, 受见证人就是穆圣。这节经文的含意是: 主许迈喜合将以他的讲话、交谈、写作以及安拉假借他的双手显示的迹象来证明穆圣的真理。他在这个意义上还将证明: 穆圣说主许迈喜合和受道教长在伊历纪元14世纪降世的预言将得到应验。主许迈喜合也是受道教长, 因为穆圣亲身作证了他的真理。因此穆圣和主许迈喜合一位是见证人, 另一位是被见证人。

Every Prophet or Divine Reformer is a Shahid, i.e. bearer of witness, because he is a living witness to the existence of God, and he is also Mashhud (to whom witness is borne) because God bears witness to his truth by showing Signs and miracles at his hands. But here, as the text shows, the Shahid is the Promised Messiah and Mashhud is the Holy Prophet, and the verse signifies that the Promised Messiah will bear witness to the truth of the Holy Prophet by his speeches, discourses and writings and by the Signs that God will show at his hands. He will also bear witness in the sense that in his person the prophecy of the Holy Prophet about the appearance of the Promised Messiah and Mahdi in the 14th century A.H. will be fulfilled. The Promised Messiah is also Mashhud in the sense that the Holy Prophet himself has borne witness to his truth. Thus the Holy Prophet and the Promised Messiah are both Shahids (bearers of witness) and Mashhuds (to whom witness is born
Commentary:
Every Prophet or Divine Reformer is شاھد i.e. bearer of witness, because he is a living witness to the existence of God, and he is also مشھود (about whom witness is borne) because God bears witness to his truth by showing signs and miracles at his hands, and by creating conditions and circumstances which establish the truth of his Message and mission. But here, as the text shows, the شاھد (bearer of witness) is the Promised Messiah and (about whom witness is borne) is the Holy Prophet, and the verse signifies that the Promised Messiah will bear witness to the truth of the Holy Prophet by his speeches, discourses and writings, and by the signs that God will show at his hands.
