Allah tells how His Messenger and Prophet Muhammad will say: "O my Lord!
Verily, my people deserted this Qur'an.'' The idolators would not listen to the
Qur'an, as Allah says:
[وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ
كَفَرُواْ لاَ تَسْمَعُواْ لِهَـذَا الْقُرْءَانِ وَالْغَوْاْ فِيهِ]
(And those who disbelieve say: "Listen not to this Qur'an, and make noise in
the midst of it.'') (41:26). When he would recite Qur'an to them, they would
talk nonsense or speak about something else, so that they would not hear it.
This is a form of forsaking it and rejecting it, and not believing in it is the
same as forsaking it, and not pondering its meanings and trying to understand it
is the same as forsaking it, and not acting upon it and following its
commandments and heeding its prohibitions is the same as forsaking it, and
turning away from it in favor of poetry or other words or songs or idle talk or
some other way is the same as forsaking it. We ask Allah, the Most Generous, the
Bestower of bounty, the One Who is able to do what He wills, to keep us safe
from doing that which earns His wrath and to use us to do that which will earn
His pleasure of preserving and understanding His Book, following its
commandments night and day in the manner which He loves and which pleases Him,
for He is Generous and Kind.
[وَكَذَلِكَ
جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِىٍّ عَدُوّاً مِّنَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ]
(Thus have We made for every Prophet an enemy among the criminals.) means,
`just as there is for you, O Muhammad, those people who scorned the Qur'an, so
in all the previous nations did Allah make for every Prophet an enemy among the
criminals, who called people to their misguidance and disbelief,' as Allah says:
[وَكَذَلِكَ
جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نِبِىٍّ عَدُوّاً شَيَـطِينَ الإِنْسِ وَالْجِنِّ]
(And so We have appointed for every Prophet enemies -- Shayatin among mankind
and Jinn) as stated in these two Ayat. (6:112) Allah says here:
[وَكَفَى بِرَبِّكَ
هَادِياً وَنَصِيراً]
(But sufficient is your Lord as a Guide and Helper.) meaning, for the one who
follows His Messenger and believes in His Book, Allah will be his Guide and
Helper in this world and the Hereafter. Allah says
[هَادِياً
وَنَصِيراً]
(a Guide and Helper.) because the idolators used to try to prevent people
from following the Qur'an lest anyone be guided by it. They wanted their way to
prevail over the way of the Qur'an. Allah says:
[وَكَذَلِكَ
جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِىٍّ عَدُوّاً مِّنَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ]
(Thus have We made for every Prophet an enemy among the criminals.)
[وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ
كَفَرُواْ لَوْلاَ نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْءَانُ جُمْلَةً وَحِدَةً كَذَلِكَ
لِنُثَبِّتَ بِهِ فُؤَادَكَ وَرَتَّلْنَاهُ تَرْتِيلاً - وَلاَ يَأْتُونَكَ
بِمَثَلٍ إِلاَّ جِئْنَـكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَأَحْسَنَ تَفْسِيراً - الَّذِينَ
يُحْشَرُونَ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ أُوْلَـئِكَ شَرٌّ مَّكَاناً
وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلاً ]
(32. And those who disbelieve say: "Why is not the Qur'an revealed to him all
at once'' Thus, that We may strengthen your heart thereby. And We have revealed
it to you gradually, in stages.) (33. And no example or parable do they bring,
but We reveal to you the truth, and the better explanation thereof.) (34. Those
who will be gathered to Hell on their faces, such will be in an evil state, and
most astray from the path.)
