Verses 55-59Verses 52-54

      Here is a warning that the plots and conspiracies of the opposition party is not something new; and it has always existed and will continue existing.

      Satans tried to tempt the prophets that came before our prophet, with new, and to some extent attractive suggestions; trying to change their desires. But Allah cancelled all their devilish tricks, and abrogated whatever Satans induced in them, and confirmed His own signs and inspirations.

      These Satanic inspirations were not contrary to the will of God. No one can do anything that God will not, and His will is always done. Here our Lord would like to make of the Satanic inducements a trial for those who had or have a disease of hardness in their hearts.

      On the other hand, prophets too, are human being as any other human. Their exception is that they are inspired, and their motive and acts are all righteous for being under the control and direct care of Allah. So are they not immune of being confronted with Satan's temptation and inducements. The Devils induce their deceiving suggestions, but Allah protects his apostle from the evil and keeps them going on, in their right and direct way.

      In other word; God in His Mercy and through His inspiration will cancel all the deceiving suggestions of Satans, and confirms His

own signs, and makes His intention clearly known to His prophets, and turns it to a means of strengthening their faith, and increasing their endeavour.

 

      The distinction between the Messengers of God and His prophets, is in that, a Messenger has a Divine Book revealed to him, which he has to teach and preach it; and convey its contents to people. But the prophet receives inspiration, though he is not commissioned to propagate his mission widely. A prophet is like a physician that the patient has to go to him and seek his aid, but a Messenger is a doctor that goes to the diseased to cure him.
