The Clear Qur'anic Exegesis (52)

Muhammad Khayr Ramadan Yusuf

Surat Al Baqarah (117-118)
{بَدِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَإِذَا قَضَى أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ } [البقرة: 117]

117- The Creator of Heavens and Earth in a perfect way in cosmic unity, harmony, geometry, and in a supernormal, environmental, and animal balance that all indicate to the One and the Only because He is their Creator and Founder. His Command — Glorified be He — if He destines to create something, He would say: "Be" and it will be created in a model example as He did with Jesus (peace be upon him).





{وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ لَوْلَا يُكَلِّمُنَا اللَّهُ أَوْ تَأْتِينَا آيَةٌ كَذَلِكَ قَالَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِمْ تَشَابَهَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا الْآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يُوقِنُونَ} [البقرة: 118]



118- The unlettered Pagans said to Muhammad (peace be upon him) in defiance and obstinacy: Let Allah speak to us or send down a sign to us. Their words were similar to that of the Jews who asked their Prophets to do supernatural matters for them out of their obstinacy and haughtiness. The people of Moses (peace be upon him) asked him to see Allah with their own eyes. Their hearts were alike in disbelief and misguidance. We have explained, with proofs, the truthfulness of the Messengers without doing supernatural things. These proofs are enough for those who want to have faith and obedience. As for the haughty rebellions, these proofs and supernatural things will not benefit.
