Transliteration:( Alhaqqu mir Rabbika falaa takoonana minal mumtareen )
"(O listener) This is the truth [308] from your Lord. So beware! Never be among those who are doubtful."
The word "Al-Haq" (the Truth) in this verse refers to multiple foundational aspects of Islam:
The Holy Qur’an – Divine revelation and ultimate criterion of truth
The Ahadith of the Holy Prophet ﷺ – His sayings and teachings are rooted in divine wisdom
The change of Qibla – A divinely commanded shift which affirms Prophethood
The Holy Prophet ﷺ himself – His entire being, including his:
Eating
Drinking
Speaking
Walking
Sleeping
—all are inspired and guided by Allah.
📌 The Prophet ﷺ is a manifestation of divine truth. Every word and action of his is free from error or blemish.
📝 The Prophet ﷺ himself said:
“Write everything I say, for only the truth comes from this mouth.”
This verse also serves as a stern warning:
Never let doubt enter your heart after the truth has been revealed
Doubt in the Qur’an, in the Prophet ﷺ, or in any divine command—such as the change of Qibla—is a path to deviation
🛡️ A true believer must stand firm on the truth and avoid all forms of hesitation or suspicion in matters that Allah has clearly established
146. Those to whom We gave the Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognise him (Muhammad or the Ka`bah at Makkah) as they recognize their sons. But verily, a party of them conceal the truth while they know it ـ ﴿i.e., the qualities of Muhammad which are written in the Tawrah and the Injil . 147. This is) the truth from your Lord. So be you not one of those who doubt).
Allah states that the scholars of the People of the Scripture know the truth of what Allah’s Messenger was sent with, just as one of them knows his own child, which is a parable that the Arabs use to describe what is very apparent. Similarly, in a Hadith, Allah’s Messenger said to a man who had a youngster with him:
؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَشْهَدُ بِهِ
(Is this your son) He said, “Yes, O Messenger of Allah! I testify to this fact.” Allah’s Messenger said:
(Well, you would not transgress against him nor would he transgress against you.)
According to Al-Qurtubi, it was narrated that `Umar said to `Abdullah bin Salam (an Israelite scholar who became a Muslim), “Do you recognize Muhammad as you recognize your own son” He replied, “Yes, and even more. The Honest One descended from heaven on the Honest One on the earth with his (i.e., Muhammad’s) description and I recognized him, although I do not know anything about his mother’s story.”
Allah states next that although they had knowledge and certainty in the Prophet , they still:
(conceal the truth.)
The Ayah indicates that they hide the truth from the people, about the Prophet , that they find in their Books,
(while they know it. ) Allah then strengthens the resolve of His Prophet and the believers and affirms that what the Prophet came with is the truth without doubt, saying:
((This is) the truth from your Lord. So be you not one of those who doubt.)
(2:147) This is a definite Truth from your Lord; be not, then, among the doubters.
