Commentary
‘Aayaatim- bayyinaat – (clear
verses), ‘Aayaat means verses, literally it means
‘tokens’, ‘signs’. The word ‘Aayaat is used for many purposes
i.e. punctuation in the Holy Qur’an,
Orders, Instructions, and Commands of God Almighty are also called ‘Aayaat, and all those speeches
and things which are signs of the Omnipotence of God Almighty, will be included
in its meanings.
Bayyinaat – singular of
this word is Bayyinah,
which means clear, bright. The meanings of this entire sentence may be the Holy Qur’an too, as well as the Miracles and
Commands of God Almighty.
The Children of Israel were
materialists, so God Almighty bestowed upon their Prophets and Messengers
(peace be upon Them) Miracles outward and relating to matter. Near them, proof
of the truth of any Prophet (peace be upon Him) was that He (peace be upon Him)
would have the Miracles. When the Last Prophet and Messenger Muhammad (glory,
grace, peace and blessings be upon Him) was sent, the Children
of Israel said surprisingly, “of what sort is this Prophet? He has no
sign or token of prophet-hood. Replying to them, Allah Almighty commanded, “You
demand one sign of Prophet-hood, We have bestowed many signs and tokens upon
Our Messenger (glory, grace, peace and blessings be upon Him) and those signs
& tokens are neither hidden, nor dim. Moreover, these are clear and bright
verses, which may be seen by everyone. After reflecting into them, any
individual, who has true nature, cannot deny from them. Only those people will
disbelieve, who has become habitual of breaking the Laws of God Almighty and
violating His Commandments.
History of the Children of Israel has been filled with
the happenings of treachery, breaking the covenants, disobeying and violence.
Whenever, any Messenger of Allah Almighty brought the Clear Verses unto them,
they falsified Him. Moreover, after making the covenant to obey God Almighty
and His Prophet (glory, grace, peace and blessings be upon Him), they did not
remain firm on it. This habit of refusal and disobeying of the Jews stopped
them from accepting the prophet-hood of the Last Messenger Muhammad (glory,
grace, peace and blessings be upon Him).
