Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 04)
Verses 47-50Verses 51-55

      Then first of the above verses (NO.47) implies that the path of truth is direct and clear, and any one with a common sense will condemn polytheism, evil, and idolatry. Even without the prophets, idolatries, and evil deeds are remorseful and blameworthy for mankind, and deserve a severe punishment. But even so, Allah, the Compassionate has sent His wise and knowing Messengers from the way of Mercy and Grace to His servants, so that no one may say; had a warner come to us we would not be punished for what we should not have it done.

      If a misfortune afflicts Man, instead of knowing that it is the inevitable result of his deeds, he may put the blame on the shoulder of providence and say:-

      ``Our Lord! Why did you not send an apostle to guide us, so as to follow your signs, and become believers?''

      Even though an Arch Prophet such as Mohammad (SA), has been sent with authority, manifest signs, and perspicuous Book, to them; who was all knowledge and all wisdom, they still went astray and preferred falsehood over truth, and followed their caprices. With Mohammad no one has any excuse to say; ``I did not know, or I was not warned and so and so.''

 

      The argument then goes on, about the excuses and objections that the non-believers made, merely because they wanted to continue with their perverted way of life.

      When our prophet came to them with so many undeniable evidences they said:- ``Why is he not like Moses,'' or ``why does he not do what Moses did with his rod and white hand.''

      They did not want to admit that the time in which Moses lived was different from the time of Mohammad (SA). On the other hand, Mohammad (SA), was the last and the seal of prophets, and his miracles had to endure for ever. Therefore his Qurän is a miracle very different to those given to Moses, and more lasting than the rod and shining white hand. So their requests were all flimsy pretexts. Did they believe in Moses or did Moses tell them to worship a piece of carved stone, instead of the Lord God, Who created them and the whole universe?

      The idolaters of Mecca and Pharaoh and his hosts were of the same idea in calling their prophet as sorcerers.

      Now the revelation which is sent down to us; in the form of the Glorious Qurän, is the best of guides. It is the remedy for our spiritual, physical, and social diseases throughout ages. We prefer to follow our caprices and make objections and excuses, to escape duties that are incumbent upon us, and which are for our own good! How can a man who escapes the facts and truths, and follows his caprices and lusts, be guided, even by such a Book as Qurän?

      In the other verse above (NO.49), Man has been challenged to bring something better than Qurän for guidance. Elsewhere in the Qurän is cited:- ``If Man thinks that it is not a revelation from God, then let him produce a book the like of it, or even one chapter the like of one of the 114 SUREHS of the Glorious Qurän.'' So far, which is a period of 15 centuries, no one has ever answered or satisfied the challenge although hundreds have tried.
