19. From this emerge two issues:
1 The Holy Prophet ? is the (Light) of Allah Almighty. No one has the power to extinguish this Light. Observe, the moon, the sun, etc. have been brightened by Allah Almighty, whose light cannot be extinguished by anyone.
2. The Holy Prophet ? is the highest means of obtaining the mystical knowledge of Allah Almighty. If you want to understand Allah Almighty, then do so that Allah Almighty is He who has sent the Prophet of such great munificence and status.
Furthermore, the Holy Prophet is Allah Almighty's that creation that even the Hand of Providence is proud of it. Therefore. He says: "It is He Who" i.e. Allah Almighty is a Being of such lofty status Who has sent such a Prophet. Also, that guidance and True Religion are inseparable with the Holy Prophet ? which can never be obtained from anyone besides the Holy Prophet nor are they separated from him at any time. Even prior to Prophethood, the Holy Prophet was never away from guidance for a moment. The letter BA in BIL-HUDA is a preposition indicating something indivisible.
20. Even today, too, Islam is the predominant Religion and will be until the Day of Judgement, if Allah wills! Even though Muslims at some time and at some place may be subdued. The Holy Qur'aan is predominant over Tauraat, Injeel and all other religious scriptures. The publicity of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم is predominant over the publicity of every religious leader. honour and dignity of the Holy Prophet ? The transcends over all religious leaders. The mosques of the Holy Prophet ? are predominant over all the churches, temples, etc.
The religious ordinances are of the Holy Prophet ? predominant over the religious laws of all other religions. May Allah Almighty preserve them for eternity. This is evident every day.
The tafsir of Surah As-Saff verse 9 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Saff ayat 7 which provides the complete commentary from verse 7 through 9.
(61:9) He it is Who has sent forth the Messenger with the Guidance and the True Religion that He may make it prevail over all religion, however those that associate aught with Allah in His Divinity might dislike this.[13]
13. The idolaters: The mushriks, those who combine the service of others with the service of Allah and mix other religions in the religion of Allah. Those who are not prepared to see that the entire system of lift is established on the obedience and guidance of One God. Those who insist that they will worship any deity they like and base their their beliefs and morals and civilization on any philosophy and doctrine they please. As against the ways of such people, it is being said that the Messenger of Allah has not been sent to make a compromise with than, but with the object that he should cause the guidance and religion of truth which he has brought from Allah to prevail over all religions, i.e. every aspect of the way of life. This mission he has to accomplish in any case whether the disbelievers and polytheists like it or not, and whoever they support it or resist it. This declaration has been made in the Quran at two other places. In (Surah At-Taubah, Ayat 33)and (Surah Al-Fath, Ayat 28). Here it has been re-iterated for the third time. For further explanation, see (Surah At-Taubah, ayat 33) note 32, and (Surah Al-Fath, ayat 28) note 51.
