The Holy Quran with Five Volume Commentary (Vol 4) — Page 711
that comes down as rain is the same but the crops and fruits are different. Similarly, the same water of Divine revelation produces different results among men of different natures and moral aptitudes. While on the one hand it produces highly righteous and God-fearing men, on the other, a community of vicious and wicked men also comes into being who carry on a relentless fight against the cause of truth. This fight between the devotees of truth and the forces of darkness always ends only in one inevitable result-the triumph of truth over falsehood. Towards its close the Surah brings home to idolaters the untenability of their position. It asks them, why do they worship false gods who create nothing, in preference to the Almighty Creator of the universe, all parts of which work in perfect harmony? It is this Great God Who has revealed the Quran and has sent the Holy Prophet. This is why the whole universe is working to further the cause of Islam. If, in spite of the falsity and futility of their beliefs, and practices, the disbelievers continued to stick to them, Divine punishment will overtake them, though God is very slow in punishing, and continues to grant respite to sinners till by their perverse attitude they shut upon themselves the doors of His mercy. 2625
