Lesson
It was admonished in the previous
verse that disbelievers - the slaves of own desires and those, who enjoy
pastime fearlessly, say impudence: Neither shall we accept and nor fear from
threat. If you are really true then bring down punishment upon us at once.
As reply to their rudeness,
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) was commanded: Tell
them “The punishment is not in My power. Allaah
Almighty has kept it in His own Control. His Word can neither be false nor a
lie and nor there is anyone better decider than Him”.
A secret has been described in
this verse: What predicament of the world was, if the punishment would be in
the power of any other than Allaah
Almighty? Knowledge and endurance of the mankind, both are limited. If power of
torment due to disobedience, is given to the human being, then he will never
delay punishing anyone.
Contrary to this, Knowledge of Allaah Almighty has surrounded the
entire circumstances completely. He is Aware entirely of the consequences of
every action. One of His Attributes is “The Wise”. He has complete Knowledge
regarding its advisability and proper time. He is For-bearer also, Who can
loosen the defaulter. Along with it, He knows thoroughly the condition of the
criminal. Peculiarity of the crime/sin and its quantity, all is clear on Him.
If the human beings were given the
power of torment, then the world would have been destroyed very earlier. Among
the mankind, the Messengers (peace be upon Them) have more knowledge, mildness
and patience given by Allaah Almighty
than the common people. While the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace
be upon Him) has been commanded: If I had that (torment) for which you are
impatient, then would the case sooner than this have been decided between Me
and you, in that case, what the mention of others?
Now listen to the meaning of the
verse. Allaah Almighty addresses His
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) – Say to the deniers,
who demand torment from you: If I had that for which you are impatient, then
would the case (ere this) have been decided between Me and you, but the matter
is in the Control of Allaah Almighty.
He will send down punishment on you, whenever He will consider it reasonable.
Allaah Almighty has manifested the
Position of His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) in
these verses that neither is it His duty to show favor of, flatter any mankind,
displease upon someone and punish him, and nor to compel any person for
embracing Islam.
His (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him) duty is only to convey the Command of Allaah Almighty to the human beings, whenever it is revealed upon
Him, and cause to know the people in a well manner through preaching,
instructing and acting upon It Himself, that everything is in the Divine Power
and Control of Allaah Almighty.
