QURAN CHAPTER - 25
Al-Furqan - The Criterion
Revealed - Meccan
Ruku - 6
Ayat - 77
Theme - This Surah deals with the doubts and objections that were being raised against the Quran, the Prophethood of Muhammad (SWS) and his teachings by the disbelievers of Makkah.
- Appropriate answers to each and every objection have been given and the people have been warned of the consequences of rejecting the Truth.
The purpose of every divine revelation is to provide a stable criterion of true and false.
- A clear picture of the moral superiority of the Believers has been depicted as in the beginning of Surah Al-Muminoon, as if to say, 'Here is the criterion for distinguishing the genuine from the counterfeit'.
- This is the noble character of those people who have believed in and followed the teachings of the Holy Prophet and this is the kind of people that he is trying to train. You may yourselves compare and contrast this type of people with those Arabs, who have not as yet accepted the Message, and who are upholding "ignorance" and exerting their utmost to defeat the Truth. Now you may judge for yourselves as to which you would like to choose.
- Though this question was not posed in so many words, it was placed before every one in Arabia in a tangible shape. It may be noted that during the next few years, the practical answer given to this question by the whole nation, with the exception of a small minority, was that they chose Islam.
