Verse 92THE UNACQUAINTED WITH GOD VERSE NO. 91

 

COMMENTS

      The nature and tone of the verse shows that it has been revealed about the Jews and not about the polytheists and unbelievers.

      Some commentators believe that this verse was revealed in Medina, and by the prophet's order was placed here among the verses that were revealed in Mecca; and this is not an exception of its kind, because we do have many cases like that throughout the Holy Quran.

      The Arabic `GHADAR' means to weigh, to judge, to estimate the value, capacity or power and ability of something. And indeed no one has attained such a merit degree of knowledge to estimate and evaluate God's Attributes and Essence - no one - even the prophets!

      And they had no true notion of Allah's glory when they said: ``Allah Has not sent down anything to man.''

      Allah instructs His Messenger to ask these Jews:

      ``Who then gave the Book to Moses as a light and guidance for people- the book that you have transcribed it on the scraps of paper for a show, while you hide a lot of its facts and figures!?''

      Most probably the Jews said so, because they were sure that their present scriptures named; `THE OLD TESTEMENT' is not the original book that is said to have been given to Moses - or that which Moses inscribed for them. They are sure that their present Bible has been written many years after the advent of Moses by some Israelite scribes and authors, and it is no more than a collection of narrations, traditions, quotations, and legendary recordings. And so is the case with the New testement or the Gospel, and this is far different from the Holy Quran which has indeed a very clear cut record.
