Surah At-Takweer Ayat 21 Tafsir (Commentry)

  • Ala-Madudi
  • Shaheen International

17.It means, all the angels obey Hazrat Jibraeel (On whom be peace) and he is entrusted with Divine Revelation. From this we learn that for the safety of the Holy QURAN, Hazrat Jibraeel's trustworthiness is very important so that there is no possibility of any addition to the QURAN from his side. Likewise, the Prophets too have to be trustworthy. Then those Companions who had compiled and gathered the QURAN, too, had to be trustworthy because as the revelation of the QURAN from heaven had been proven accurate so too is its keeping on the earth accurate and without any blemish. Thus, any person who does not regard any Noble Companion to be trustworthy is regarding this verse to be doubtful, which has been received from this Noble Companion. Some e commentators of the Holy QURAN have said that all these are attributes of the Holy Prophet ? The Holy Prophet is a Prophet for all times and at all places. The Holy Prophet is very generous withا money and affairs. He is strong in everything in his blessed eyes, ears, hands, feet etc. is e Divine Power as it is reported in the Hadith.

In the court of Allah Almighty he enjoys such honour and respect that if anyone becomes his sincere devotee, he too will enjoy respect by Allah Almighty and one worthy of obedience. Allah Almighty listens to them and the entire creation is under his command. He is the trustee of the trusts of Allah Almighty. When this Scripture was recited through his blessed tongue, it became the QURAN. How excellent is the tongue, which turns the Scripture into a QURAN!
