Commentary
It was explained in the
previous verse that disbelievers - the slaves of own desires and those, who
enjoy pastime fearlessly, say impudently: Neither shall we accept and nor fear
from threat. If you are really true then bring forth the punishment upon us at
once.
As reply to their rudeness,
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) was commanded: Tell
them “The punishment is not in My power. Allah Almighty has kept it in His
own Control. His Word can neither be false and nor a lie and nor there is
anyone better decider than Him”.
A secret has been disclosed in
this verse: What predicament of the world was, if the punishment would be in
the power of any other than Allah Almighty? Knowledge and endurance
of the mankind, both are limited. If power of torment due to disobedience, is
given to the human being, then he will never delay punishing anyone.
Contrary to this, Knowledge
of Allah Almighty has surrounded the entire circumstances completely.
He is Aware entirely of the consequences of every action. One of His Attributes
is “The Wise”. He has complete Knowledge regarding its philosophy and proper
time. He is Forbearer also, Who can loosen the defaulter. Along with it, He
knows thoroughly the condition of the guilty. Peculiarity of the wicked
deed/sin and its quantity, all is clear on Him.
If the human beings were given
the power of torment, then the world would have been destroyed very earlier.
Among the mankind, the Messengers (peace be upon Them) have more knowledge,
mildness and patience given by Allah Almighty than the common
people. While the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has
been commanded: If I had that (torment) for which you are impatient, then would
the case sooner than this have been decided between Me and you, in that case,
what the mention of others?
Now listen to the meaning of
the verse. Allah Almighty addresses to His Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) – Say to the deniers, who demand torment from
you: If I had that for which you are impatient, then would the case had been decided
between Me and you, but the matter is in the Control of Allah Almighty. He
will send down punishment on you, whenever He will consider it reasonable.
Allah Almighty has
manifested the Position of His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him) in these verses that neither is it His duty to show favor of, flatter
any mankind, displease upon someone and punish him, and nor to compel any
person for embracing Islam.
His (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon Him) duty is only to convey the Command
of Allah Almighty to the human beings, whenever it is revealed upon
Him, and cause to know the people in a well manner through preaching,
instructing and acting upon It Himself, that everything is in the Divine Power
and Control of Allah Almighty.
