Nay! you cannot do so, for He is Allah, the Mighty, the Wise. '3153 b but as a Bearer of glad tidings but most men know not. 3154 وَمَا اَرْسَلْنَكَ إِلَّا كَفَةً لِلنَّاسِ بَشِيرًا And We have not sent thee. 29 LÁŠTESURSE وَنَذِيرًا وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ,and a Warner for all mankind وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَى هَذَا الْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُم And they say, “When will. 30 صدقين this promise be fulfilled, if you are truthful?' a35:41; 46:5. 21:108. 21:39; 36:49; 67:26. e he. فتح بينهم They say. فتح from judged between them. W means he opened the door. t means, Judge. is an epithet applied to God meaning, the Great Judge; the Opener of the gates of His Mercy and of sustenance to His servants (Lane & Aqrab). Commentary: The verse is generally taken as referring to the Fall of Mecca when it was decided beyond the shadow of doubt as to which of the two parties Muslims or disbelievers- was "on right guidance" and which "in manifest error. " It was after that great victory that a union of hearts was brought about between Muslims and their adversaries, the latter having given up their false beliefs and doctrines joined the fold of Islam. The use of the expression preference to the expression in verse thus constitutes a prophecy about the Fall of Mecca. It may also refer to the Battle of Badr when for the first time Muslims and the Quraishite army were brought together. 3153. Commentary: The verse means to say that on the day of the Fall of Mecca it will be decisively established that the false gods of disbelievers were devoid of all power and wisdom and that Allah, the God of Islam, was All-Powerful and Wise. 3154. Commentary: The Holy Prophet has been repeatedly declared in the Quran as having been sent as a Messenger to all mankind till the end of time. See also 21:108 & 25:2. The Message of Islam is a universal message and the Quran is the last revealed Book for all mankind. No other revealed Book or points to this union of the hearts. The religion has ever laid claim to finality. 2612
