81. When Allah made (His) covenant
with the Prophets, (He said): Behold that which I have given you of the
Scripture and knowledge, and afterward there will come unto you a Messenger,
confirming that which ye possess, ye shall believe in him and ye shall help
him. He said: Do ye agree, and will ye take up My burden (which I lay upon
you) in this (matter)? They answered: We agree. He said: Then bear ye
witness. I will be a witness with you.

Commentary
The same fact has
been repeated in these verses, that no Prophet (peace be upon him) teaches the
people for his own devotion. He just teaches the worship of One God (Allah
Almighty). Allah Almighty has made covenant with the Prophets (peace be upon
them) also as well as the common people that when another prophet comes after
anyone of you, definitely he will testify the former Prophets and their
Scriptures. Therefore, it is important that the Prophet who has come earlier,
he should believe in the authenticity of the Prophet (peace be upon them) who would
come later and help him. If he does not find his time, then he should urge his
nation perfectly that they should believe in the upcoming Prophet (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and help him. To bequest the people
like this is also included in helping him.
It manifests
from this verse that the covenant has been made with the entire Prophets (peace
be upon them) that they would believe in the last Prophet of Allah Almighty,
Muhammad, (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and help him. Because
he (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was coming in the last of
all the Prophets and all of them (peace be upon them) had passed over before
his arrival. Obviously, the entire prophets (peace be upon them) would have
made their covenants with their people. Therefore, Ali and Ibn-e-Abaas (may
Allah Almighty be pleased with them) said, “This type of covenant was made with
the Prophets” and the Holy Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon him) said himself, “If Mosses (peace be upon him) were living
today, there was no other chance for him without following me”. In addition,
commanded, “When Jesus (peace be upon him) will come again, he will decide according
to Holy Qur’aan and Sayings of your
Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). It has been described
in this verse that Allah Almighty asked for more Emphasizing, “Do you affirm?” The
entire Prophets (peace be upon them) represented that they agreed to. Allah
Almighty ordered, “Then bear ye witness. I will be a witness with you”.
