Lesson
The impostures of the people of Makkah were described in the previous
verses and it was known also that the Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)
desired, “Somehow the esteemed and rich people of here should listen to Me
(Muhammad)”. He would have also thought: Would that I could show them those
portents, which they demand, then perhaps they might believe.
To remove that conception, Allaah Almighty commanded: If You can,
seek a way down into the earth or a ladder unto the sky so that You may bring
unto them a portent (to convince them all), even then they will not believe
because they desire some other thing. And Suppose! If they believed after
observing any strong portent, then such belief will not be acceptable to Us (Allaah Almighty).
Allaah Almighty Says: We desire! They
should believe by thinking themselves and observing Our present portents, which
We have already sent down in the world. But their ears, eyes and tongues (all)
are closed from these portents. Neither they will see those portents, nor they
will hear any Guide and nor they will ask from Someone themselves.
Therefore, it has been commanded
to the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): Give up
thinking about them. Your only Duty was to convey Our Message, which You have
performed. If they do not hear, let them go. Now You should warn them who are
ready to hear.
These were those poor people who
embraced Islam, believed in the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him) and had become ready to obey the commands of Holy Qur’aan; for instance Bilal, Amaar bin Yasir and Saalim (May Allaah be pleased with them) etc. Honorable people had this pretense
that they used to say the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
Him): We cannot sit along with these poor people.
The Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) had prepared to prevent those poor people from
meeting every time, so that objection of the proud people may remain no more
and perhaps they would come, hear and believe. He (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him) has been forbidden by Allaah
Almighty in this verse from doing so.
Allaah
Almighty commands: Never repel those people from siting with You (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him), who call upon their Lord at morning and
evening, try to seek Allaah’s
Countenance. You don’t know the condition of anyone’s heart that whether the
poor people are well or these haughty people will be good after believing,
because anyone cannot be responsible of any other’s secrets. So you should treat
the people according to their apparent condition. You should cause to hear
those people, who listen and believe. But don’t keep dealing connection with
those who remain in own haughtiness. Neither You are accountable for them in
aught, nor are they accountable for You in aught.
