105. This means if you do not believe in the Holy Prophet ? You will not receive any reward. In it is a refutation of the Troneous belief of the People of the Book that they believe in the Holy Prophet ? they will receive double reward, if not, they will receive single reward.
106. This means your account of deeds will avail you not. His bounty and grace is something else. He will grant you double reward on becoming a Muslim. If you do not become a Muslim you will get nothing.
107. In this blessed verse there is a refutation of that. thought of the Israelites that Prophethood is a monopoly of the Israelites, and since the Holy Prophet ? is from the progeny of Hazrat Ismail (On whom be peace), he cannot be a Prophet.
Thus,it is stated here that Prophethood is through the grace of Allah Almighty, which He can grant to whomsoever He desires.
