Lesson
It was discussed in the lesson of previous verse that Islam does not
approve to agree the people for embracing Islam by showing them amazing
miracles. There is a reply of disbeliever’s question/command in this verse and the
next to this verse, that the Message of Allaah
Almighty should be brought down by an Angel (peace be upon Him).
It is commanded that if an Angel (peace be upon Him) is sent down, even
then, they denied believing by making evasions, as the fear comes from their
perverseness, then it will not be good for them, because it is impossible that they
may live safe and sound for a sometime as disbelievers after arrival of the
Angel (peace be upon Him) before them. At that time, if they will disbelieve,
they will be ruined without any delay. There will be no form of postponement of
their destruction.
Therefore, they should take it a blessing of Allaah Almighty that the Angel (peace be upon Him) comes secretly
only unto the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and conveys
the Message of Allaah Almighty up to
the people through Him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), worth
of which, these people do not know.
It is by the fortune of not coming the Angle (peace be upon Him) openly,
that they are still living, notwithstanding their Infidelity and denial. And
their punishment is being postponed. Otherwise, it is the end of the story,
after appearance of the Angel (peace be upon Him).
There can be three forms of the Angel’s appearance:
1. He (peace be upon Him) can come in His
original shape.
2. He (peace be upon Him) may appear in the form
of any natural sight, for instance; flood, earthquake, dust, a storm of wind or
rain etc.
3. He (peace be upon Him) may appear as a
mankind.
The human being has not endurance to see Him (peace be upon Him) in case of His
first form. Only the Messenger of Allaah
Almighty, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) saw the Angel
Gabriel (peace be upon Him) twice in His original shape, due to which, a horror
prevailed over the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).
If someone else will see, his gall-bladder will be cracked due to fear.
In the second form too, if the people believed
timely after knowing the signs and changed from past evils, perhaps they are
saved, otherwise surely, they will expire.
