1495 The enjoyment of all good and true things in life refers, I think, to the present life with its limited term, and the
abounding Grace refers to the higher reward, which begins here but is completed in the life to come. (11.3)
12:108 - Say thou: "This my way: I do invite unto Allah on evidence clear as the seeing with one's
eyes I and whoever follows me: Glory to Allah! and never will I join gods with Allah!" 1792
1792 Islam holds fast to the one central fact in the spiritual world,-the unity of God, and all Reality springing from Him and
Him alone. There can be no one and nothing in competition with that one and only Reality. It is the essence of Truth.
All other ideas or existences, including our perception of Self, are merely relative,-mere projections from the wonderful
faculties which He has given to us. This is not, to us, mere hypothesis. It is in our inmost experience. In the physical
world, they say that seeing is believing. In our inner world this sense of Allah is as clear as sight in the physical world.
Therefore, Al-Mustafa and those who really follow him in the truest sense of the world, call all the world to see this
Truth, feel this experience, follow this Way. They will never be distracted by metaphysical speculations, whose validity
will always be doubtful, nor be deluded with phantoms which lead men astray. (12.108)
15:89 - And say: "I am indeed he that warneth openly and without ambiguity" 2012
2012 In the ministry of Al-Mustafa there was no mincing of matters, no compromises with evil. Evil was denounced in
unambiguous terms. Mubin implies both openness and clearness, i.e. freedom from ambiguity. (15.89)
27:91 - For me I have been commanded to serve the Lord of this City Him Who has sanctified it
and to Whom (belong) all things: and I am commanded to be of those who bow in Islam to
Allah's Will 3322
3322 The Lord of this City. This was spoken in Makkah say about the 5th year before the Hijrat, when the holy Prophet and
his adherents were being persecuted as enemies to the cult of Makkah. So far from being against the true spirit of the
holy City of Makkah, it was actually in furtherance of that spirit, which had been overlaid by the idolatries and
abominations of the Pagan Quraish. They are told that the new Teaching is from the Lord of Makkah itself, the One
True God, Who had sanctified it in the time of Abraham. Lest they should think that it was a local or tribal or narrow
cult, it is added that He is not only Lord of this City, but Lord of the Worlds, "to Whom belong all things". It is a
universal message; but how sad it would be if the Makkans, among whom it came first, were to reject it? (27.91)
27:92 - And to rehearse the Qur'an: and if any accept guidance they do it for the good of their own
souls and if any stray say: "I am only a Warner." 3323
3323 The duty of the Prophet and his adherents was, first, to accept Islam and become themselves shining examples of
Allah's grace and mercy, as they in fact were, and secondly to preach that message and spread that Light to all
around. It was not for them to force it on unwilling people: for any who rejected it would find their own spiritual loss in
such rejection. But they must clearly warn them of the consequences. (27.92)
27:93 - And say: "Praise be to Allah Who will soon show you His Signs so that ye shall know them";
and thy Lord is not unmindful of all that ye do. 33243325
3324 In a few years after that, many wonderful things happened that removed the doubts of the doubters and confirmed the
faith of the Believers. They showed how the logic of events proved the true mission of the holy Prophet. Other things
some minds may not be able to grasp. But the logic of events is for all to see. (27.93)
3325 Trials and tribulations, persecution and exile, and the patient endurance and constancy with which they were met by
the Believers-all are known to Allah and will be credited to their account. (27.93)
28:46 - Nor wast thou at the side of (the Mountain of) Tur when We called (to Moses) Yet (art thou
sent) as a Mercy from thy Lord to give warning to a people to whom no warner had come
before thee: in order that they may receive admonition. 3379
3379 This people was the Quraish. 'Though thou didst not see how Moses was invested with the prophetic office at Mount
Tur, thou hast had similar experience thyself, and We have sent thee to the Quraish to warn them of all their sins, and
to repent and come into the Faith'. (28.46)
33:34 - And recite what is rehearsed to you in your homes of the Signs of Allah and His wisdom: for
Allah understands the finest mysteries and is well-acquainted (with them). 37163717
3716 The verb is uzkurna, feminine gender, as referring to the Azwaj again. It means not only "remember", but "recite",
"teach", "make known", "publish", the Message which ye learn at home from the holy Prophet, the fountain of spiritual
knowledge. The "Signs of Allah" refer specially to the verses of the Qur-an, and Wisdom to the resulting Instruction
derived therefrom. (33.34)
3717 Cf. xxii. 63 and n. 2844. Allah's understanding is perfect in every detail, however minute. Therefore use His Revelation
for every phase of life. (33.34)
33:46 - And as one who invites to Allah's (Grace) by His leave and as a Lamp spreading Light. 3735
3735 See last note. The two other capacities in which the Prophet was sent are here specified. (4) He comes as one who
has a right to invite all men to repentance and the forgiveness of sins: but he does this, not of his own authority, but by
the permission and authority given to him by Allah. This is said lest people may deify the Prophet as they did with
