Commentary:
This verse supplies several answers to the objection of disbelievers mentioned in the previous verse. The first answer is that God had raised Prophets among different peoples at different times and every one of these Prophets had taught the Unity of God. If the contention of disbelievers that polytheism was permitted and countenanced by God had any basis in fact then one or other of these Prophets should have subscribed to this doctrine. But all the Prophets most vehemently denounced polytheism in every shape and form.
The second answer is implied in the words, We did raise among every people a Messenger, which mean that if God had chosen to employ force in the matter of faith, then there was no need for so many Prophets to come to convey to man the will of God. One Prophet would have sufficed through whom God would have guided to the right path those whom He desired. The long succession of Prophets who appeared among different peoples at different times to exhort them to live righteous lives constitutes a strong proof that man is created a free agent.
The third answer is contained in the injunction "shun the Evil One". If it were true that good and evil had been predetermined by God and man is only the victim of determinism, there is no sense in such an injunction, and in sending so many Prophets, for in that case every man’s course would have been predetermined. The fourth answer consists in the fact that at the appearance of every Prophet a certain number of people who before his advent are polytheists renounce their wrong doctrines and become believers in the Unity of God. In the event of man’s actions having been predetermined, he could not possibly effect a change in his beliefs or actions. The fact that on the occasion of the advent of every Prophet a certain number of disbelievers join the ranks of believers is positive proof of the fact that man has been endowed with freewill and that he is the master of his own destiny.
Divine visitations that have invariably overtaken disbelievers in all ages constitute yet another very cogent proof that man has been created free and is not the object or victim of a predetermined fate because there is no sense or justification in punishment overtaking a person who is not free to act as he likes.

Commentary:
In this verse the disbelievers are warned that they will not be allowed to arrest or retard the progress of the Holy Prophet’s noble cause; on the contrary, by opposing him they will only bring ruin upon themselves. The lesson is writ large on the pages of history that denial of truth has always led disbelievers to destruction and desolation. In the next verse the Holy Prophet is consoled and comforted that he should not feel distressed because of the plots and conspiracies of his enemies, as their evil designs can do him no harm and will only recoil on their own heads.

قُلۡ سِیۡرُوۡا فِی الۡاَرۡضِ فَانۡظُرُوۡا کَیۡفَ بَدَاَ الۡخَلۡقَ ۚ ثُمَّ اللّٰہُ یُنۡشِئُ النَّشۡاَۃَ الۡاٰخِرَۃَ ۚ اِنَّ اللّٰہَ عَلٰی کُلِّ شَیۡءٍ قَدِیۡرٌ
اس جگہ آخرت کا ذکر نہیں بلکہ اس دنیا کا ذکر ہے اور اس دنیا میں مردے زندہ ہو کر نہیں آتے۔ پس یہ آیت ایک واضح ثبوت ہے اس بات کا کہ پیدائش اول سے مراد قوموں کو تمکنت بخشنا اور پیدائش ثانی سے مراد غالب قوموں کے زوال کے بعد پھر دوبارہ ان میں بیداری پیدا کرنا ہے۔ اس کے یہ معنے نہیں کہ اُخروی زندگی ہے ہی نہیں۔ بلکہ ہمارا یہ مطلب ہے کہ اس آیت میں اس دنیا میں قوموں کے اتار چڑھاؤ کا ذکر ہے جیسا کہ سِیْرُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ کے الفاظ سے اور ان الفاظ سے ظاہر ہے کہ دنیا پر غور کرو کہ کس طرح اللہ تعالیٰ نے پہلی دفعہ پیدائش کا کام شروع کیا۔ اور مرنے کے بعد پھر دوبارہ زندگی دینی شروع

The expression has been used at several places in the Qur’an (6:12; 12:110; 30:10; 35:45; 40:83), and almost everywhere it has been followed by a sentence which points to the destruction of one people and the creation of another in their place. The verse does not refer to the Resurrection after death, but only to the phenomenon of the rise and fall of nations.
10:5; 30:28.
Commentary:
The theme of the preceding verse has further been developed in this verse and the disbelievers are told just to have a glance over the histories of the nations that lived in the past and see that when God intended to create a new order and a new nation, He raised a new Prophet, and when his people rejected him they were destroyed and another people took their place. The Holy Prophet’s rejecters are thus warned that if they did not take a lesson from the fate of the rejecters of former Prophets they will also come to history of all religions that rejection of the Divine Message always has landed the disbelievers into ruin.
The expressions سیروا فی الارض (travel in the land) and أولم یسیروا فی الارض (have they not travelled in the land) have been used at several places in the Quran (6:12; 12:110; 30:10; 35:45; 40:83), and almost everywhere they have been followed by a sentence which points to the terrible fate which the rejecters of the Divine Message had met. This shows that in the present case also where this expression has been followed by the words "then see how He originated the creation, then will Allah create the latter creation," it points to the destruction of one people and the creation of another in their place. Thus the verse does not refer to the Resurrection after death. It only draws attention to the phenomenon of the rise and decline of nations and their rise after their decline.

这一用语被使用在 «古兰经» 中好几处 (6:12; 12:110; 30:10; 35:45; 40:83) 而且几乎每处之后都有一句指出创造另一个民族来代替一个毁灭了的民族。这节经文并没有谈及死后复生, 只谈了民族兴衰的现象。
