Commentary
It was
discussed in the lesson of previous verse that Islam does not approve to agree
the people for embracing Islam by showing them amazing miracles. There is a
reply of disbeliever’s question/command in this verse and the next to this
verse, that the Message of Allah Almighty should be brought down by
an Angel (peace be upon Him) before their eyes.
It is
commanded that if an Angel (peace be upon Him) is sent down, even then, they
denied believing by making evasions, as the fear comes from their perverseness,
then it would not be good for them, because it is impossible that they may live
safe and sound for a sometime as disbelievers after arrival of the Angel (peace
be upon Him) before them. At that time, if they will disbelieve, they will be
destroyed without any further delay. There will be no form of postponement of
their destruction.
Therefore,
they should take it a blessing of Allah Almighty that the Angel
(peace be upon Him) comes secretly only unto the Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) and conveys the Message
of Allah Almighty up to the people by means of Him (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him), value of which, these people do not know.
It is
by the fortune of not coming the Angle (peace be upon Him) openly, that they
are living still, notwithstanding their Infidelity and denial. And their
punishment is being postponed. Otherwise, it is the end of the story, after
appearance of the Angel (peace be upon Him).
There
can be three forms of the Angel’s appearance:
1.
He (peace be upon Him)
can come in His original form.
2.
He (peace be upon Him)
may appear in the form of any natural sight, for instance; flood, earthquake,
dust, a storm of wind or rain etc.
3.
He (peace be upon Him)
may appear as a mankind.
The
human being has not endurance to see Him (peace be upon Him) in case
of His first form. Only the Messenger of Allah Almighty, Muhammad
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) saw the Angel Gabriel (peace be
upon Him) twice in His actual form, due to which, a horror prevailed over the
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). If someone else will
see, his gall-bladder will be cracked due to fear.
In the second form too, if the
people believed timely after knowing the signs and changed from past evils,
perhaps they would be saved, as the folk of Prophet Jonah (peace be upon Him)
was saved, otherwise surely, they will be ruined.
