Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (Was the Reminder cast upon him from among us?)

Allah the Exalted said:

Has the message been sent down upon him from among us?

أَأُلْقِيَ الذِّكْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ بَيْنِنَا

[Al-Qamar: 25] This is also a question of contempt,Meaning: How is the Reminder cast upon him from among us? What distinguishes him? All of this consists of doubts, not proofs. The fact that he is a human does not prevent him from being a messenger; rather, the messenger of the humans must be a human;Because Allah said:

⁽⁸⁾ And they say, "Why was there not sent down to him an angel?" But if We had sent down an angel, the matter would have been decided; then they would not be reprieved. ⁽⁹⁾ And if We had made him an angel, We would have made him [appear as] a man, and We would have covered them with that in which they cover themselves.

وَقَالُوا لَوْلا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ وَلَوْ أَنْزَلْنَا مَلَكاً لَقُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ ثُمَّ لا يُنْظَرُونَ * وَلَوْ جَعَلْنَاهُ مَلَكاً لَجَعَلْنَاهُ رَجُلاً وَلَلَبَسْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ مَا يَلْبِسُونَ

[Al-An'am: 8-9] Meaning: If We had sent an angel, it would have been necessary for Us to make him in the form of a human so that he would mix with the people and get along with them. And if We had made the angel a human, We would have confused them with what they are already confused by, so the matter would have remained mixed up.

So now we look: The first doubt: They said that he is a human,Second: That he is one of us, not distinguished from us by anything,Third: That he is a single person who was not supported,And Allah Mighty and Majestic says:

⁽¹³⁾ And present to them an example: the people of the city, when the messengers came to it - ⁽¹⁴⁾ When We sent to them two but they denied them, so We strengthened them with a third

وَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ مَثَلاً أَصْحَابَ الْقَرْيَةِ إِذْ جَاءَهَا الْمُرْسَلُونَ * إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْهِمُ اثْنَيْنِ فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَعَزَّزْنَا بِثَالِثٍ

[Ya-Sin: 13-14] We strengthened them,These people say: One person is not enough; he must be reinforced by a second and a third,The fourth:

Has the message been sent down upon him from among us?

أَأُلْقِيَ الذِّكْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ بَيْنِنَا

[Al-Qamar: 25] Meaning: How is the Reminder and the revelation cast upon him from among us?! This is impossible.

Therefore: Four doubts, which they consider to be proofs requiring the rejection of Salih (peace and blessings be upon him), whereas in reality they are not proofs, but rather doubts and misguidance. Thus are the falsifiers, O my brothers! In every time and place, they raise doubts against the truth, but Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) must make the truth clear, so that whoever perishes perishes with clear evidence, and whoever lives lives with clear evidence,Then they said:

Rather, he is an insolent liar."

بَلْ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٌ

[Al-Qamar: 25] (But) here is for the refutation of their claim, and (a liar) is a form of exaggeration and at the same time a description; because the word fa'al comes for exaggeration, and it comes for description,If you say: So-and-so is a carpenter,Meaning: One of the carpenters, otherwise he would not carpenter except once,And if you say: So-and-so is a blacksmith due to the frequent use of iron, so it became an exaggeration. They consider him—may Allah protect us from that—to be a liar described with lying, having no attribute except lying, and the abundance of lying also (greedy) meaning: arrogant, haughty, proud, arrogant, claiming what is not his.
