Allah, the Exalted, is saying, `We relate all of these stories to you
(Muhammad) concerning what happened with the Messengers who came before you with
their nations. This is an explanation of what transpired in their arguments and
disputes and how the Prophets were all rejected and harmed. These stories also
explain how Allah helped His party of believers and disgraced His enemies, the
disbelievers. We relate all of this to you (Muhammad) in order to make your
heart firm and so that you may take an example from your brothers who passed
before you of the Messengers.' Concerning Allah's statement,
[وَجَآءَكَ فِى
هَـذِهِ الْحَقُّ]
(And in this has come to you the truth,) This is referring to this Surah
itself. This was said by Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and a group of the Salaf and it is
the correct view. This means, `This comprehensive Surah contains the stories of
the Prophets and how Allah saved them, and the believers along with them and how
He destroyed the disbelievers. There has come to you (Muhammad) stories of truth
and true events in this Surah. In this Surah is an admonition that prevents the
disbelievers, and a reminder that causes the believers to reflect.'
[وَقُل لِّلَّذِينَ
لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ اعْمَلُواْ عَلَى مَكَانَتِكُمْ إِنَّا عَامِلُونَ -
وَانْتَظِرُواْ إِنَّا مُنتَظِرُونَ ]
(121. And say to those who do not believe: "Act according to your ability and
way, We are acting.) (122. And you wait! We (too) are waiting.'')
