As the main subject of the last Surah related to the defeat and destruction of disbelief, great stress was laid in it on the fact that consistently with that practice ruin will seize the opponents of the Holy Prophet also. In the present Surah, however, greater emphasis has been laid on another more subtle aspect of the same subject, viz. that despite the weakness of believers in power, prestige and material resources, their cause has always progressed and prospered. Though towards the close of the Surah a brief reference has been made to the ultimate destruction of disbelief, much greater emphasis has been laid on the basic religious principle that those who listen to the voice of God and give intellectual and ideological allegiance and unqualified and unstinted support to the Divinely established system, always achieve success and honour. In this connection it is mentioned that the progress of Muslims will not be temporary and short-lived, but will extend over a long period, and unlike the Israelites who were rulers only in their own country, Muslims will conquer and rule over vast lands. Another point worth special notice which serves as a connecting link between the present and the preceding Surah is that towards the close of the preceding Surah the disbelievers were mentioned as saying that the Holy Prophet was a poet and that satans descended upon him. To this taunt or charge of the disbelievers the Surah returned the answer that satans descended only upon sinful liars and forgers who mixed falsehood with truth. This is why a hotchpotch of much falsehood mixed with a little truth could never produce any good results. It further said that the poets follow no great aim or fixed programme in life. They wander, as it were, distractedly in every valley and do not practise what they preach. They follow satans and are in turn followed by those who have lost the right path. To continue and elaborate the subject the present Surah opens with a firm declaration that the Quran is God’s own revealed Word. It explains fully and completely all matters that concern man’s spiritual life and supports its principles and ideals with sound and cogent arguments. It has been revealed to the Holy Prophet from the Wise and Almighty God. Its followers worship their Lord morning and evening. They are kind and sympathetic towards their fellow beings and believe also in the Hereafter. Thus there is a world of difference between disbelievers and followers of the Quran. According to Ibn ‘Abbas and Ibn Zubair the Surah was revealed at Mecca. Other Muslim scholars also support this view. Summary of the Subject Matter Whereas the preceding Surah, i.e. (Ash-Shu‘ara’) opened with the abbreviated letters طسم (Ta Sin Mim), this Surah begins with the letters طس (Ta Sin), the letter م (Mim) having been omitted. This shows that the subject matter of the present Surah constitutes a continuation and extension of the subject matter of its predecessor, though in a little different form. The Surah begins with a brief reference to the vision which Moses, the great Israelite Prophet, saw of Divine majesty and proceeds to give a somewhat detailed account of David and Solomon in whose reigns the Israelite conquests, power and material glory reached their zenith; the implication being that Muslims will also make equal, even greater, conquests and will rule over vaster lands and that their splendour, grandeur and glory will last much longer, but if like the Israelites they abandoned the path of rectitude and took to evil practices, they too will forfeit God’s favour and will be visited with Divine punishment. After this, the Surah deals at some length with the two most fundamental and basic religious beliefs—existence of God and life after death. To support and substantiate the first thesis, viz. the existence of God, the Surah adduces arguments from nature, man’s inner self and from his collective life. After alluding to the fact that God’s great powers are manifested in the marvellous working of the laws of nature, the Surah advances the acceptance of prayer by God as an invincible argument in proof of His existence. It portrays very graphically that when man in the hour of distress cries to God in the agony of his soul, God listens to his cry. Indeed, if man had not witnessed great miracles being performed through the power of prayer God’s existence would have remained enshrouded in mystery and doubt. Another unanswerable argument given by the Surah is that God reveals Himself to His Messengers and righteous servants and vouchsafes to them the knowledge of the unknown, instances of which are to be witnessed in every age. After having dealt with the subject of the existence of God, the Surah, proceeds to deal with the second most important religious subject, viz. life after death. After briefly pointing to other arguments it advances as one unassailable proof in support of life after death the great moral and spiritual revolution which the Holy Prophet brought about among his people, and then proceeds to expatiate upon it. The argument begins and develops in this way. The Arabs had completely despaired of their future. They heedlessly wallowed in the quagmire of immoral ways and practices and rejected the Holy Prophet’s message and refused to believe that there was a life after death and that they will be required to render an account of their deeds. Morally and spiritually they were virtually a dead people, but they received a new life through the Quran. The water of Divine revelation descended upon the bleak and barren soil of Arabia and it bloomed and blossomed and pulsated with a new vigorous life and by acting upon its teachings the Arabs, who were erstwhile the scum and dregs of humanity, became its leaders and teachers. This marvellous revolution constituted a proof positive of the fact that God Who could raise a spiritually dead people to new life had the power to raise the dead to life again after they would become bones and particles of dust. The Surah closes on the note on which it had begun, viz. the subject of the Quranic revelation, and proclaims that God has chosen Mecca as the centre for His last Message and that from this town shall emanate a divine light which will illumine the whole world. It further declares that in order to add effulgence and lustre to the light of the Quran God will show mighty Signs in every age.
