318. From this verse a few points emerge: coming of
1. The Holy Prophet's to this world is without doubt Allah’s greatest bounty for believers. Says Allah Almighty: "Undoubtedly Allah did a great favour to the Muslims" (S3 V164).
2.The Holy Prophetis sent as a Universal Prophet without distinction of race and creed. Says Allah Almighty: "That he may be a warner unto the entire world" (S25: VI).
3. Mankind is raised to the highest honour because the Holy Prophet raised from them. Man is the highest creation of Allah, solely because of the Holy Prophetas clarified by the words "From yourselves".
4. We have received the QUR’AAN andall its laws and divine secrets, all its bounties and blessings from the Holy Prophet as indicated "recite to you". Thus, he who has cut himself away from the Holy Prophet indeed cut himself from the QUR'AAN.
5 After the QUR'AAN, Hadith of the Holy Prophet is foremost
Hence the word 'Mature Knowledge' is reference to the Ahadith of the Holy Prophet .follow The Book meaning the Holy QUR'AAN.
319.From the word "And purifies you" we learn that one will not be purified through one's good deeds the real purification will come from the graceful attention of the Holy Prophet Says Allah Almighty "O Beloved Prophet! Realize the poor due (Zakaat) out of their wealth to purify them and cleanse them therewith"(S9: V103)
320.The last part of this verse suggests that the Holy Prophet has the unseen knowledge to his gracious companions as confirmed by the tradition of Bukhari Shareef whether they had remembered it or forgotten thereof. It also indicates that they(Companions of Prophet) had been taught by the Holy Prophet complete code of Shariah . The first part is more emphatic because the code of Shariah is included in the QUR'AAN and Hadith. Hence, the word 'teaches you' refers more to the knowledge of the Unseen.
