Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 03)
Verse 7Verses 8-10

      As a matter of human rights, people do have the right of asking God's apostles to manifest some miracles, to assure their hearts and to support their prophethood. But the oppositions to the prophet were not with the intention of a good will, or willing to find the truth. Their request for certain and ridiculous miracles was due to their obstinacy, and unreasonable adherance to some false ideas. Instead of the search of truth, they searched for excuses!

      On the other hand, inspite of revealing hundreds of wonderful miracles, our prophet never claimed to have been able to do whatever he liked! He always insisted upon his assertion that, no one can do anything against God's will, and miracles too, are in the hand of God, without Whose permission none of the prophets could bring one. Therefore, the prophet was a warner and a bearer of good-tidings for the believers.

      Of course whenever there was a real need for doing a miracles the prophets prayed to God and asked it in order to guide people to the path of truth, and God answered and gave them what they asked.

      As to the last clause of the verse:ِ

      ``You are only a warner, and there is a guide for every people.''

      It points at two different tasks of warning and guidance.

Awarner tries to direct those who go astray in the straight way of God; but the duty of a guide, is to lead on the straight path. Therefore the guide leads the followers of the prophet to the methodical way of the prophet. The prophet makes the way out, and the guide or Imam, leads people in the way trodden by the prophet.

      Traditions have been related by successive witness of all sects, that the prophet said:ِ ``I am the warner and Ali is the guide.''

      Fakhr-Al-Razi the famous Sonni commentator has narrated in his great commentary book V.19ِP.14 that, IBN-ABASS, has said that the prophet pointed at his own chest and said:ِ ``I am the said warner in this verse (NO.7)'' The prophet then put his hand upon Hazrat Imam Ali, and said:ِ ``O, Ali! you are the guide mentioned here; and after me, those who are guided, are guided by you.''
