Ruku - 2
Ayat - 56
Theme - In Verses: 1-7 For the first time the Prophet (SAW) was commanded to arise and warn the people of the consequences of the way of life they were following and to proclaim the greatness of God, endure patience while performing his mission.
- In Verses:8-10 the deniers of Truth have been warned, saying: "You will see the evil result of what you are doing today on the Resurrection Day."
- In Verses: 11-26 without naming Walid bin al-Mughirah, it has been told how Allah had blessed him and how inimical he proved to be to true Faith.
- In this connection, his mental conflict has been portrayed, telling that, on the one hand, he was fully convinced of the truth of Muhammad (SAW) and the Quran, but, on the other, he did not want to risk his leadership and position among his people.
- In Verses: 27-48 the dreadfulness of Hell has been depicted and it has been explained as to people of what character and morals really deserve it.
- In Verses: 49-53 the root cause of the disbelievers' aversion has been pointed out, saying: "Since they are fearless of the Hereafter, and look upon this worldly life as an end in itself, they flee from the Quran as though they were wild asses fleeing away from the lion: therefore, they propose unreasonable conditions for believing, whereas even if each and every condition of theirs was fulfilled, they could not advance even an inch on the way of Faith with their denial of the Hereafter."
In conclusion, it has been explicitly stated: "Allah does not stand in need of anybody's faith that He may fulfill his conditions."
- The Quran is an admonition that has been presented before the people openly; now whoever wills may accept it. "Allah has a right that the people should fear His disobedience and He alone has the power to forgive the one who adopts piety and an attitude of God consciousness even though one may have committed many acts of disobedience in the past."
