وَلَوۡ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ ٱلنَّاسَ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗۖ وَلَا يَزَالُونَ مُخۡتَلِفِينَ
[2646] “If their aversion is too hard on you, then if you can seek out a tunnel in the ground or ladder to the sky, so that you may bring them a Sign ˹then do it˺; ˹but˺ if Allah so wished He would have banded them all together around guidance, so be not among the ignorant” (6: 35); “Had your Lord wished, the dwellers of Earth, all of them together, would Believe; do you ˹Muhammad˺ force people ˹in spite of themselves˺ till they become Believers!” (10: 99).
[2647] They will ever be followers of different religions, ways of life and opinions (cf. al-Ṭabarī, al-Qurṭubī, Ibn Kathīr). God Almighty in His Infinite Wisdom has already destined some people for Hellfire, but as long as they live, being none the wiser of their own fate, they are free to ponder over and reconsider their position (cf. al-Suyūṭī, al-Iklīl, p. 152) being innately fitted with enough intellectual ability to do so: “They will shriek screechingly therein ˹Hellfire˺: “Lord, let us out, and we will do righteous deeds, not what we did before!” ˹Their answer from Allah will be:˺ “Did We not give you a life long enough to have heeded if you were going to? The Warner ˹Messenger˺ came to you, now taste ˹the Punishment˺.” The evildoers will have nobody to help them” (35: 37).
إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَۚ وَلِذَٰلِكَ خَلَقَهُمۡۗ وَتَمَّتۡ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لَأَمۡلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَجۡمَعِينَ
[2648] These are those whom God guides by His Mercy to Believe and follow the Messengers (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī).
[2649] God Almighty, in His Infinite Wisdom, created people different, some cheerful and others wrenched so that His Wisdom and Justice are manifest to His servants and that strife and devoted worship, which can only be tested through trial and hardship, find their champions and the good and evil in human nature can be set apart (cf. al-Saʿdī): “He is the One Who created you; among you are Denier and among you are Believer—Allah is All-Seeing of what you do!” (64: 2).
[2650] Beings, alongside humans, endowed with the faculty of discerning good and evil; the Deniers among the jinn will also be admitted into Hellfire (cf. Ibn Taymiyyah, al-Nubuwwāt, 2: 1009).
وَكُلّٗا نَّقُصُّ عَلَيۡكَ مِنۡ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلرُّسُلِ مَا نُثَبِّتُ بِهِۦ فُؤَادَكَۚ وَجَآءَكَ فِي هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَمَوۡعِظَةٞ وَذِكۡرَىٰ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
[2651] This passage rounds up and concludes the sura (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr), Divinely lighting the way forward for the Noble Messenger and the Believers around him.
[2652] Thus the Messenger (ﷺ) would draw lessons from earlier Messengers and be more patient in the face of his peoples’ vigorous opposition (cf. al-Ṭabarī, al-Baghawī, Ibn Kathīr).
[2653] Although the Truth is indeed found in the whole Qur’an, Sura Hūd was of particular significance to the Messenger (ﷺ). This is why he said: “Hūd brought greyness to my hair …” (al-Tirmidhī: 3297, al-Ḥākim: 3: 343, al-Albānī, al-Silsilah al-Ṣaḥīḥah: 955).
[2654] “O people! There has come to you an admonition from your Lord and a healing for what is in the chests; a guidance and mercy for the Believers” (10: 57).
وَقُل لِّلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٱعۡمَلُواْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِكُمۡ إِنَّا عَٰمِلُونَ
[2655] This statement, which is the same as that said by Prophet Shuʿayb to his people in a similar situation (cf. Aya 93 above) amounts to a final declaration that things between the two parties will remain at the current state for the time being, each being firm in their stand, until God brings His Command. It, along with the next two ayas, are meant to put the Messenger’s mind at ease, whereby he rests assured knowing that none but God Almighty dispenses affairs.
وَٱنتَظِرُوٓاْ إِنَّا مُنتَظِرُونَ
وَلِلَّهِ غَيۡبُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَإِلَيۡهِ يُرۡجَعُ ٱلۡأَمۡرُ كُلُّهُۥ فَٱعۡبُدۡهُ وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَيۡهِۚ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ
