QURAN CHAPTER - 35
Fatir - The Originator
Revealed - Meccan
Ruku - 5
Ayat - 45
Theme - The discourse in this Surah is meant to warn and reprove the people of Makkah and their chiefs for their antagonistic attitude that they had then adopted towards the Holy Prophet's message of Tauheed, like a well wisher, and also to admonish them like a teacher, as if to say: "O foolish people, the way to which this Prophet is calling you is to your own advantage."
- Your anger, your tricks and machinations against it and your conspiracies and designs to frustrate it are not directed against him but against your own selves.
- He rejects shirk. If you look around carefully, you will yourself realize that there is no basis for shirk in the world.
- He presents the doctrine of Tauheed. If you use your common sense, you will come to the conclusion that there is no being, beside Allah, Creator of the Universe, which might possess divine attributes and powers and authority.
- He tells you that you have not been created to be irresponsible in this world, but you have to render an account of your deeds before your God, and that there is life after the life of this world when everyone will meet the consequences of what he has done here. It is you yourselves only who will suffer the consequences. The Prophet's only responsibility was to make the truth plain to you, which be has done."
In this connection, the Holy Prophet has been consoled again and again, as if to say:
- "When you are doing full justice to the preaching of your mission, you do not incur any responsibility for those who persist in their error and do not accept and follow the right way."
- The believers also, in this connection, have been given the good news so that they may feel strengthened and encouraged and remain steadfast on the path of the truth with full faith in the promises made by Allah.
