[Verses 20 to 28]: Protection of Revelation: 1. Translation: 21 Say: I control not evil nor good for you. 22 Say: None can protect me against Allah, nor can I find any refuge besides Him: 23 (Mine is naught) but to deliver (the command) of Allah and His messages. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, surely for him is the Fire of hell, to abide therein for ages, 24 Till when they see that which they are promised, they will know who is weaker in helpers and less in numbers.a 25 Say: I know not whether that which you are promised is nigh or if my Lord will appoint for it a distant term. 26 The Knower of the unseen, so He makes His secrets known to none, 27 Except a messenger whom He chooses.a For surely He makes a guard to go before him and after him, 28 That He may know that they have truly delivered the messages of their Lord; and He encompasses what is with them, and He keeps account of all things.a 2.
Commentary: 27a. That the overthrow of opposition to the great message of Truth was certain is stated in v. 24. This is followed by a statement in v. 25 that the Prophet did not know whether this overthrow would come soon or whether it would come in the distant future, but Truth must triumph. And the law is stated now that God makes known His will, the unseen, the Truth, by His messenger, to convey that Truth to other people. It is God’s message and it must be delivered in spite of all opposition. The Divine purpose is accomplished by sending a guard, before and after the messenger, to protect him against all onslaughts, as is made clear in the words that follow. [Back to verse 27] 28a. Note the firm tone of these revelations under the disheartening circumstances to which attention has been drawn in 24a. Such words could not proceed from any but a Divine source — the message must be delivered, Allah encompasses all, nothing is out of His reach. [Back to verse 28]
