Transliteration:( Am hasibtum an tadkhulul Jannnata wa lammaa ya'lamil laahul lazeena jaahadoo minkum wa ya'lamas saabireen )
300. This verse is in the form of a question i.e.. do not presuppose or distrust. It does not mean that the Noble Companions had this supposition or belief because they were totally protected from any erroneous beliefs.
301. The stay of Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace) in Paradise was for the purpose of education and blessing that he should sent to world in the manner he was taught, while our Holy Prophet's Paradise on the Night of Me'raj was for the purpose of affirmation. It should be remembered that Paradise in this verse denotes going there for a purpose. Some will be rewarded with Paradise like the minor Muslim children, who will be going to Paradise because of their parents, or like us, though we are sinners but the intercession and blessings of our ever merciful and kind Prophet will take us to Paradise Says Allah Almighty: "We joined them with their off-spring" (S52:V21). Hence, there is no inconsistency in the verse.
302. Ala-Hazrat (May Allah be pleased with him) denotes the meaning of knowledge as test, trial and error so that it should be understood that by this knowledge is meant general knowledge. which is acquired through trial and error and experimentation. The knowledge of Allah Almighty or Divine knowledge is ancient and eternal knowledge. Hence, the verse is crystal clear in meaning. From this, it is understood that those who took to their heels at Uhud are entitled to be reprimanded but their forgiveness has been made known and anyone who now criticizes their action would be the rejecters of the Holy QURAN.
