188. Say: For myself I
have no power to benefit, nor power to hurt, save that which Allah willeth.
And had I knowledge of the Unseen, I should have abundance of wealth, and
adversity would not touch me. I am but a warner, and a bearer of good tidings
unto folk who believe.

Commentary
The human being remains in
search of worldly profit every time. He wants to know before doing every work: Whether this work will
be consequently profitable or hurtful? When Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) began to describe the people: After
death, actions of every individual will be examined and those people who
committed sin, will be punished properly, then the people considered from it
that He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has been explaining
about the future, so they should ask from Him: What should we purchase now
which may be expensive in future. Those of them who were of higher thought,
they began to ask about the destined Hour. The Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) has been taught the answer to their questions
in this verse, in which the grace of Prophet-hood has been manifested entirely
and it has been described that: “Telling you about - profit or loss in your
business OR correct time of any happening” is not the duty of any Prophet
(peace be upon Him). His only duty is to warn those who disbelieve and cause to
hear the good tidings unto the folk who believe.
It is commanded to the
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) that He should say to
them who question: While I have no power and knowledge regarding my own profit
or loss, good or bad, then; what shall I tell you about your profit or loss?
Whenever Allah Almighty wishes, He informs Me timely about good or bad and loss
or profit of anything. Had I knowledge of the future, I should have reaped
abundance of advantages, and misfortune would not come close to Me. Neither
would I regret ever and nor receive any kind of hurt. And you know that the
happiness reaches Me as well as the grief. I feel pain like you and comfort
too. However, I have been given this duty that I should warn and frighten you
from such deeds, result of which will be not good for you after death. And
those of you who will embrace Islam, I should give them good tidings that their
end will be good.
Allah Almighty has
bestowed very more science and knowledge to the last Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) than every human being, but that is maximum
regarding welfare of the Hereafter. About this world, Allah Almighty commands
to Him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): Say to the people! The
knowledge which I have, is not My personal; but given by Allah Almighty. I do
not want to say anything to you from Me side. I shall describe you only that
about which God Almighty will command Me. Other than that, I know nothing.
