Allah the Exalted and Most Honored said, while delivering the glad tidings to
the believers that the Messenger will triumph over his enemies and the rest of
the people of the earth,
[هُوَ الَّذِي
أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ]
(He it is Who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of
truth,) with beneficial knowledge and righteous good deeds. Indeed, the Islamic
Shari`ah has two factors, knowledge and deeds. The true religious knowledge is
by definition true, and the accepted Islamic acts are by definition accepted.
Therefore, the news and creed that this religion conveys are true and its
commandments are just,
[لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى
الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ]
(that He may make it superior to all religi- ons.) all the religions of the
people of the earth, Arabs and non-Arabs alike, whether having certain
ideologies or being atheists or idolators.
[وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ
شَهِيداً]
(And All-Sufficient is Allah as a Witness.) that Muhammad is His Messenger
and that He will grant him victory. Allah the Exalted and Most Honored has the
best knowledge.
[مُّحَمَّدٌ رَّسُولُ
اللَّهِ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ أَشِدَّآءُ عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ رُحَمَآءُ بَيْنَهُمْ
تَرَاهُمْ رُكَّعاً سُجَّداً يَبْتَغُونَ فَضْلاً مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَرِضْوَاناً
سِيمَـهُمْ فِى وُجُوهِهِمْ مِّنْ أَثَرِ السُّجُودِ ذَلِكَ مَثَلُهُمْ فِى
التَّوْرَاةِ وَمَثَلُهُمْ فِى الإِنجِيلِ كَزَرْعٍ أَخْرَجَ شَطْأَهُ فَآزَرَهُ
فَاسْتَغْلَظَ فَاسْتَوَى عَلَى سُوقِهِ يُعْجِبُ الزُّرَّاعَ لِيَغِيظَ بِهِمُ
الْكُفَّارَ وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَـتِ
مِنْهُم مَّغْفِرَةً وَأَجْراً عَظِيماً ]
(29. Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. And those who are with him are
severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves. You see them bowing
falling down prostrate, seeking reward from Allah and acceptance. The mark of
them is on their faces from the traces of prostration. This is their description
in the Tawrah. But their description in the Injil is like a seed which sends
forth its shoot, then makes it strong, and becomes thick and it stands straight
on its stem, delighting the sowers, that He may enrage the disbelievers with
them. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous good
deeds, forgiveness and a mighty reward.)
