PT. 19 AL-FURQAN CH. 25 وَلَا يَأْتُونَكَ بِمَثَلٍ إِلَّا جِئْنَكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَاَحْسَنَ تَفْسِيرَات 34. And they bring thee no similitude but We provide thee with the truth and an excellent explanation. 2669 الَّذِيْنَ يُحْشَرُونَ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِم إلى Those who will be gathered. 35 on their faces unto Hell—they جَهَنَّمَ أُولَيكَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا فَأَضَلُّ will be the worst in plight and سَبِيلان most astray from the right path. 267 R. 4. وَلَقَدْ أَتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَب وَجَعَلْنَا مَعَةَ We gave Moses the Book. 36 أَخَاهُ هَرُونَ وَزِيران and appointed with him his his as brother Aaron assistant. 2671 a17:98. 5:61. 20:30-33; 26:16; 28:35. 2669. Commentary: The verse means to say that disbelievers can bring forward no objection which has not been already answered in the Quran and the answer has not been supported with excellent arguments contained in it. It is one of the distinctive features of the Quran in which it stands unique among all revealed Books that whenever it makes a claim about the existence of God, the truth of Islam, or about its own Divine origin, or any other related religious subject, it itself gives the required arguments to prove and substantiate the claim and looks towards no other agency for aid and assistance. 2670. Commentary: mean: The words "will be gathered on their faces" may (i) disbelievers will be gathered together and dragged on their faces into the fire of Hell; (ii) disbelievers will be gathered together when in a state of prostration with their faces on the ground and then dragged into Hell. 2671. Commentary: The wages of sin is death. Opposition to God's Prophets has always resulted in discomfiture and destruction of the enemies of truth. The present Surah cites examples of some such Prophets whose people defied them and persecuted them and by their evil deeds drew upon themselves Divine wrath. Pride of place in this connection is given in this Surah to Moses who was the greatest Prophet of Israel. He thought that the great mission with which he was entrusted was beyond his power. So he begged God to give him Aaron, his brother, as his assistant to help him in his great work. Thus Aaron was a subordinate Prophet to Moses. See also 20:30-35. 2317
