The commentary of al-Qa si dah 105 nation. But All a h gave life to this nation through the advent of the Holy Prophet sa and made from them conquerors and rulers of the world. The interesting part is that most sick people have a desire to get better but the patients that were assigned to the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa were not desirous of life. It seems that they wanted to be finished and their name be erased from the world. But the Holy Prophet sa cured that patient who wanted to die and considered it impossible to regain life. Not only did the patient survive but ended up giving life to thousands and thousands of other people in the world. The people of Mecca among whom the Holy Prophet sa lived, were average traders. They had no government or system of any kind. They did not have any respect or fame, but were living in darkness in a very lowly way of life. It is remarkable how these same people became full of life and spread all over the world. They arose just as an eagle pounces upon its prey and they destroyed the superpowers of their time. The Arabs had no respect and the low level government officials of the neighbouring countries used to order them around. However, after these people became slaves of the Holy Prophet sa , they became so powerful that they would stand up to the greatest governments of that time. The governments of Caesar and Chosroes were destroyed when they clashed with them. Great kings presented themselves in their courts with their heads bowed and with their swords surrendered. This is an illustration of the revival that Allah the Exalted manifested upon the Holy Prophet sa. ( Tafs i r-e-Kab i r , vol. 8, p. 398)
