[Shakir 17:92] Or you should cause the heaven to come down upon us in pieces as you think, or bring Allah and the angels face to face (with us).
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 17:92] (see commentary for verse 90)
[Shakir 17:93] Or you should have a house of gold, or you should ascend into heaven, and we will not believe in your ascending until you bring down to us a book which we may read. Say: Glory be to my Lord; am I aught but a mortal messenger?
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 17:93] (see commentary for verse 90)
[Shakir 17:94] And nothing prevented people from believing when the guidance came to them except that they said: What! has Allah raised up a mortal to be a messenger?
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 17:94] (see commentary for verse 90)
[Shakir 17:95] Say: Had there been in the earth angels walking about as settlers, We would certainly have sent down to them from the heaven an angel as a messenger.
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 17:95] (see commentary for verse 90)
[Shakir 17:96] Say: Allah suffices as a witness between me and you; surely He is Aware of His servants, Seeing.
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 17:96] (see commentary for verse 90)
[Shakir 17:97] And whomsoever Allah guides, he is the follower of the right way, and whomsoever He causes to err, you shall not find for him guardians besides Him; and We will gather them together on the day of resurrection on their faces, blind and dumb and deaf; their abode is hell; whenever it becomes allayed We will add to their burning.
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 17:97] (see commentary for verse 90)
[Shakir 17:90] And they say: We will by no means believe in you until you cause a fountain to gush forth from the earth for us.
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 17:90]
Refer
to al Baqarah: 55 and 60; Nisa: 153 and Anam: 7,8,9 and 35 to know
about the true nature of the desire of the unbelievers, like Jews, for
witnessing miracles.
Miracles are shown by the prophets of Allah when
Allah wills. Refer to the commentary of al Baqarah: 118 and 243.
Miracles greater than any that the ignorant unbelievers could think were
before them. The Holy Prophet, his Ahl ul Bayt and the Quran were such
miracles, and they are the everlasting miracles that endure through all
ages. The Quran (and the Ahl ul Bayt-refer to hadith al thaqalayn on page 6, and commentary of Rad: 43 and Shura: 17) are the witnesses between the Holy Prophet and the people.
Refer to the commentary of verse 49 of this surah
for the raising up of people as a new creation, but the unjust
ungratefully refuse to accept it. Refer to Rad: 43 and al Baqarah: 18
for verse 97.
The denial of the life of hereafter is the cause
of the disbelievers' attitude towards the messengers of Allah. See
commentary of Araf: 103 to 145 to know similarities between the Holy
Prophet and Prophet Musa. After comparing the repulsive attitude of the
unbelievers with Firawn and his people, Allah vouchsafe the truth of the
Quran and the success of the Holy Prophet's mission and assures the
Holy Prophet that whether or not the unbelievers accept the truth, the
people gifted with knowledge (see commentary of Ali Imran: 7; Nisa: 162)
will submit to it with utmost devotional humility.
