Verse –128 & 129 of 200, Section –13 (First-Fourth of Part – 4)

128.  It is no concern at all of thee (Muhammad) whether He relent toward them or punish them; for they are evildoers. 129.  Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. He forgiveth whom He will, and punisheth whom He will. And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

Lesson

Seventy companions (may Allah be pleased with them) of Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) were killed in the Battle of Uhud. Uncle of Holy Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), named Amir Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him) was also killed with them and he was granted the title of Saiyidush-Shuhadaaa’ (Chief of the Martyrs). Polytheists disgraced very brutally the dead body of Hadrat Hamza (May Allah Almighty be pleased with him). One eye of Holy Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was hurt, one lower right side tooth out of the front four teeth was broken, chain ring of his own helmet broke and penetrated in his cheek, forehead was wounded and his (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) body covered with blood. His foot staggered, he (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) fell down on the ground and became senseless.

The infidels proclaimed that Holy Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) had been killed. Muslims were confused and the people were stunned. After some times when Holy Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) came in senses, this sentence was on his tongue, “How that nation will get prosperity, which wounded her Prophet’s face, who used to call them towards God”.

Observing these brutal tyrannies of the polytheists, Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) intended to imprecate for some tyrant people out of them, but it was not acceptable by Allah Almighty. Therefore, the people for whom Holy Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was going to invoke a curse, Allah Almighty put all of them down in the feet of Holy Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) after a few days, and made them venturesome soldiers of Islam.

 

The intent to tell from this verse is that neither a mankind has any authority, nor complete knowledge. Although, the infidels are tyrannizing the Muslims but it is the Will of Allah Almighty. Whether He relents toward them or punishes them. Whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth belongs to Allah Almighty. He forgives whom He wills and guides towards the light of Belief, but arrests in the punishment of infidelity whom He wills. But Allah’s Praise of Mercy and Forgiveness keeps Superiority on His entire other Praises. He neither wants to put someone in trouble and nor punish anyone until the time someone does not reach the last stage of bad doings and disobedience.
