وَلَا تُؤْمِنُوٓا۟ إِلَّا لِمَن تَبِعَ دِينَكُمْ قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْهُدَىٰ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ أَن يُؤْتَىٰٓ أَحَدٌ مِّثْلَ مَآ أُوتِيتُمْ أَوْيُحَآجُّوكُمْ عِندَ رَبِّكُمْ قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْفَضْلَ بِيَدِ ٱللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ 73

73b. Say (O Muhammad):
Lo! the guidance is Allah’s Guidance-that anyone is given the like of that
which was given unto you or that they may argue with you in the presence of
your Lord. Say (O Muhammad): Lo! the bounty is in Allah’s hand. He bestoweth
it on whom He will. And Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing.
74. He selecteth for
His mercy whom He will. And Allah is of Infinite Bounty.

Commentary
It
has been described in these verses that only Allah Almighty may give the
Guidance. If anybody wishes to misguide someone, that is not possible without
the Command of Allah Almighty. O the children of Israel : you cannot
extinguish that Light of Guidance with your tricks, which Allah Almighty has
put into the heart of any person. Your plans will become useless.
It
has also been cleared in this verse that the Jews make different kinds of plans
and schemes against the Muslims due to jealousy. Reason of their jealousy is that
why the Muslims are being given such Divine Law of religion, Prophet-hood and
Messenger-hood, which have been bestowed earlier to the children of Israel , and why other people
are leading in the religious effort and struggle by overcoming upon them and
they (the Muslims) are accusing them before God Almighty.
The
Jews used to claim that only their nation was monopolist of the Divine Law.
Torah was revealed upon them. Most of the Prophets (peace be upon them) came
out of them after Moses (peace be upon him). Then what connection with
excellence and bounty has the illiterate and ignorant people of Arab? Why a
Messenger has been born from them? But it is visible that due to their
jealousy, those predictions of Torah could not be wrong, in which it has been
mentioned that Allah Almighty will bring forth a Messenger (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon him) like Moses (peace be upon him) from the children of
Ishmael (the brothers of the children of Israel). God will put His Word (Holy Qur’an) into his mouth (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him). Therefore, the children of Ishmael (peace be
upon him) got this Wealth and in the field of knowledge, bounty and religious
efforts and struggles, They did not lead the children of Israel only but the entire
world.
After
that it has been described that Allah Almighty is All-Embracing, All-Knowing
and of Infinite Bounty. Nothing is deficient in His treasures. And He knows
that to whom the greatness should be given. To distribute Prophet-hood, Divine
Law of Religion, Belief and each kind of favor is only in His Hand. He bestows
what He Wishes, when He Wishes, where He wishes and to whom He wishes.
