CH. 47 R. 2. MUHAMMAD PT. 26 اِنَّ اللهَ يُدْخِلُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا Verily, Allah will make. 13 those who believe and do good works enter the underneath which rivers flow;" الصُّلِحَتِ جَنَّتٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا Gardens الْأَنْهُرُ وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوا يَتَمَتَّعُونَ while those who disbelieve وَيَأْكُلُونَ كَمَا تَأْكُلُ الْأَنْعَامُ وَالنَّارُ مَثْوًى لَهُمْ enjoy themselves and eat even as the cattle eat, and the Fire will be their resortº¸3797 وَكَأَيِّنْ مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ هِيَ اَشَدُّ قُوَّةً And how many a township. 14 more powerful than thy town مِنْ قَرْيَتِكَ الَّتِي أَخْرَجَتْكَ أَهْلَكْتُهُمْ which has driven thee out, have فَلَا نَاصِرَ لَهُمْ We destroyed, and they had no helper! 3798 أَفَمَنْ كَانَ عَلَى بَيْنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهِ كَمَنْ زُيِّنَ Then, is he who takes his. 15 لَهُ سُوءُ عَمَلِهِ وَاتَّبَعُوا أَهْوَاءَهُمْ ) stand upon a clear proof from his Lord like those to whom the evil of their deeds is made to "14:24; 22:24; 29:10. 14:31; 15:4; 77:47. 11:29. 3797. Commentary: The believers make use of the things of the world and eat and drink as do the disbelievers, but whereas the former eat to live in order to serve God and man, the latter live to eat, drink, and be merry, and have no nobler objects to pursue. They do not rise above the level of animals as their whole concept of life materialistic. 3798. Commentary: is The verse constitutes a mighty prophecy. According to the majority of scholarly opinion it was revealed while the Holy Prophet was on his way from Mecca to Medina, having been driven out of his beloved native place, with a price put on his head. The Prophet was friendless and his cause seemed hopeless. He was hourly in fear of being caught, as Medina was far away and the countryside swarmed with adventurers who sought to bring him dead or alive to get the much-coveted prize. It was at that critical hour that the verse was revealed. It promised a safe journey for the Prophet and the eventual destruction of his enemies. 2924
