Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 05)
Verses 46-49Verses 50-55

      Here are some instructions for how to deal and discuss with the people of the Book, like the Jews and Christians, who are different in faith with the Pagan Arabs, and in general with the heathens:-

      ``And dispute not with the people of the Book, except in a way that is the best, unless it be with those of them who have oppressed.''

      This verse implies that in our discussion or dispute with them, we must be polite and speak friendly, using reasonable expressions. We should not speak loudly and with anger. There should be no abuse and irony, and we always have to speak the truth.

      In this case too, there is an exception. Such an Islamic behaviour is only fit for those who are not oppressing; and where the other party does not think it to be a weak point of the Moslems. When your counterpart is a stubborn, fanatic, and bold arrogant; what else can you do?

      Your main and reliable logic in your arguments with the people of the book can be that:-

      ``We believe in what has been sent down to you from Allah, and also to that which has been sent down to us from the Lord, because our God and your God is one and to Him we have submitted.''

      The Glorious Qurän has been sent down on the basis of the Oneness of God, the Oneness of Message of all the apostles, and on the unconditioned submission to the will of God, which is called Islam. These principles are what they have found it in their own Scriptures, and have heard it through successive witnesses from the tongue of their apostles.

      Then it is referred to an undeniable reason that proves the truthfulness, and prophethood, of our prophet:-

      ``And you were not to read any book before it, nor to write it with your right hand, lest those who wish to frustrate you, could have reason to doubt about the Book that has been revealed to you by the way of inspiration.''

 

      If we see that from among a people so undeveloped, retrogressed, and illiterate, a man rises who has had no tutor or teacher at all, and has never learned to read and write, but he brings a book as great as the universe, so that no man can bring the like of it, even a laymen with some common sense can apprehend that the Book cannot be the splashes of his brain.

      As a matter of fact in the Pagan Era in Arabic Peninsula those who could read and write were very rare if there could be found anyone at all. There was not any important lesson for anyone to learn. Even the primary classes of education and knowledge, which is to read and write, did not exist; or was rarely found. How could then there be a learned man or a scholar without being known? How could such a man of knowledge and wisdom live in that society for fourty years without being known to all?

      On the other hand a couple of visits with one or two priests or sages like Bohaira the monk, was far less than enough, to bring up a Man such as Mohammad (SA) among those uneducated population. Mohammad (SA) among whose followers and obedient servants, there are thousands of learned men, scholars and sages, like Avissina, Rumic, Saadi, Ghazaali, and etc. is nothing less than the Messenger of God, and the Seal of prophets, and the utmost perfection of prophethood.
