Lesson
Fourth praise of temperate is mentioned in this verse. Namely these
people believe on all heavenly books and revealed written.
As though two speeches have been explained in this verse:
· To have faith on the
teachings and instructions of The Holy Book revealed towards The Messenger
(Muhammad) (peace be upon Him) whole heartedly.
· To believe just the Holy
Books revealed upon the prophets came prior to the last Messenger (peace be
upon them) from GOD.
Now it is also clear that in the Holy Qur’aan, only the Book revealed
on the last Prophet and the Books revealed upon the Prophets prior to the
last Prophet (peace be upon them) have been explained. Neither there is
mentioned any prophet after the last Messenger (peace be upon Him) and nor
any holy book after the Holy Qur’aan. It is known that no prophet will come
after the last Prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon Him), otherwise it would have
been mentioned here.
The Prophets came prior to Muhammad (peace be upon them), are a lot in
numbers. Names from some of them have been mentioned in the Holy Qur’aan,
remainings are only hinted. To believe in Prophets (peace be upon Them) means
that from Hadrat Adam (Compliments upon Him) to the Last Messenger Hadrat
Muhammad (peace be upon Him), as much as Prophets came, all those Prophets
(compliments upon Them) were sent by GOD. And they taught the people
according to their reign. Out of heavenly Books, four Holy Books have been
mentioned in the Holy Qur’aan:
1. Journals of Hadrat Abraham (Compliments
upon Him)
2. Torah of Hadrat Moses (Compliments upon
Him)
3. Zaboor of Hadrat David (Compliments upon
Him)
4. Gospel of Hadrat Jesus (Compliments upon
Him)
Messenger of ALLAH (peace be upon Him) illustrated the series of
prophets by a simile of palace and said, “Each Prophet was fitted as a brick
of His reign to build this palace. At last Hadrat Christ (Compliments upon
Him) came and was fitted as a brick in the palace of prophet-hood. The people
came, looked this ‘Building’ and praised but in addition said also that there
is a gap of one Brick. Would that the remaining Brick be fitted on its place.
I am that ‘last Brick’, now there is no need and space of any brick for this
palace of prophet-hood.”
All these Prophets of GOD (peace be upon Them) always presented
the truth before their people that LORD of the worlds is only one
‘ALLAH’. Now The Holy Qur’aan orders to its believers that they should
believe in all of them. No body can find anywhere this kind of superior example
regarding acceptance of tolerance and truth.
