``And so did We send it down as a commandment in Arabic....''

      For the word, ``ARABIC'' a two-fold meaning is understood;

1ِ It may allude to the Semitic language of the Arabs, which is the prevailing speech of Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Egypt and North Africa.
2ِ It also means an expressive, clear, and eloquent, word. Therefore the phrase; ``as a commandment in Arabic'', may also mean the commandments that are clear, expressive, eloquent and noble, or all these qualifications collectively. The next clause of the verse, ``And if you follow their caprices....'' may imply; even the prophet who is infalliable, if he should go wrong and follow the caprices of this and that, inspite of the knowledge given him, God will not protect him against the bad consequences of his deeds! And in the God's judgement no one shall help or defend him against God's punishment.

      The next verse (NO.38) is to answer the fault-findings of the prophet's opposers who used to say:ِ ``What sort of a prophet is this who eats and drinks and walks in the streets and who has wives and children like all of us!'':ِ

      ``And verily We sent Messengers before you, and gave them wives and offsprings....''
