189.Being envious of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم and the MuslimsÂ
190. From this, we learn that Piety, Faith,and Prophethood, all these are from the bounties of Allah Almighty. None can boast about these things.
91.From this emerge a few issues:
Prophethood and the knowledge of Religion are two of the greatest blessing of Allah Almighty, as Allah Almighty has mentioned these in respect of the virtues of Hazrat Ebrahim (Alaihis Salaam).
2. Prophethood has been made special for the progeny of Hazrat Ebrahim (On him be peace) after him, as no one else besides his progeny became a Prophet thereafter. Thus, Mirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadyani can never become a prophet because he is not a Sayyed - progeny of the Holy Prophet.
3. To be children of the pious, and to be from high ranking family, too, is a grace and blessing of Allah Almighty. Khilafat after the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم had been restricted to the Quraish only. Said the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم Khilafat will only be from the Quraish". In Fact it is stated in SAWAIQ E MUHARRIQAH that the highest spiritual personages will only be from the Sayyids. i.c. from the progeny of the Holy Prophet Imam Mahdi (Alaihis Salaam) would be from the Sayyids.
192. By this is meant granting wordly kingdom. like that granted to Hazrat Yusuf (Alaihis Salaam) and Hazrat Dawood (Alaihis Salaam). Who was granted both prophethood and kingdom? Likewise, if Allah Almighty grants His Beloved Prophethood and Kingdom then
why did infidels become hurt by it?
The tafsir of Surah Nisa verse 54 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Nisa ayat 53 which provides the complete commentary from verse 53 through 55.
(4:54) Do they envy others for the bounty that Allah has bestowed upon them?[85] (Let them bear in mind that) We bestowed upon the house of Abraham the Book and Wis-dom, and We bestowed upon them a mighty dominion,[86]
85. By implication, this query accurately portrays the state of mind of the Jews. They saw the Muslims being endowed with the grace and reward of God which they, notwithstanding their own unworthiness had expected to fall to their share. By virtue of the advent of a great Prophet among the ummis of Arabia, a spiritual, moral and intellectual revolution had taken place which totally changed their practical life and ultimately led them to greatness and glory. It is this which aroused their spite and envy, and which was reflected in their unjustifiable remarks about the Muslims.
86. This ‘mighty dominion’ refers to the position of world leadership and authority which a people attain by virtue of receiving the knowledge in the Book of God and acting according to its dictates.
