Ayat 7. And We sent not before you (O Muhammad
[SAWW](PBUH) ) but men to whom We inspired, so ask the people of the Reminder
[Scriptures - the Taurat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel)] if you do not know.
Ayat 8.
And We did not create them (the Messengers, with) bodies that ate not food,
nor were they immortals,
Ayat 9.
Then We fulfilled to them the promise, and We saved them and those whom We
willed, but We destroyed Al-Musrifun (i.e. extravagant in oppression,
polytheism and in
sin).
[Tafseer]
Before thee, also, the
messengers We sent were but men, to whom We granted inspiration: If ye realize
this not, ask of those who possess the Message. See 16:43 This answers the
Unbelievers' taunt, "he is just a man like ourselves!" True, but all messengers
sent by Allah were men, not angels or another kind of beings, who could not
understand men or whom men could not understand. Nor did We give them bodies that ate
no food, nor were they exempt from death. As men they were subject to the laws
governing the physical bodies of men. They ate and drank, and their bodies
perished in death (Cf. 7:148 and 25:7). In the end We fulfilled to them Our
Promise, and We saved them and those whom We pleased, but We destroyed those who
transgressed beyond bounds. But, however difficult (or impossible) their mission may have
appeared to them, or to the world at first, they won through eventually, even
those who seemed
to have been defeated. Examples
are given in the latter part of this Surah, especially in 21:51 -93. They were
delivered from the Wrath which overtook the Unbelievers, as were those with them
who accepted Allah's Message and placed themselves in conformity with His Will
and Plan. That is the meaning of "whom We
pleased".
Hazrat Ubadah bin As-Samit (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of
Allah
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "He
who bears witness that there is no true god except Allah, alone having no
partner with Him, that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger, that `Isa
(Jesus) is His slave and Messenger and he (Jesus) is His Word which He
communicated to Maryam (Mary) and His spirit which He sent to her, that Jannah
is true and Hell is true; Allah will make him enter Jannah accepting whatever
deeds he accomplished".
Another narration in Muslim is: the Messenger
of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Whosoever testifies that there is no true
god except Allah and that Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH) is the Messenger of Allah, Allah (SWT) saves him
from the Fire (of
Hell)".
[Muslim Hadith #
43]
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Anbiya' Ayat 07."We sent not before
you (O Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH) ) but men" This Hadith confirms that all Prophets of Allah were men and thus refutes
those who attribute divinity to them and exclude them from the category of men
or regard them a part of Allah, as Christians believes Prophet `Isa (Jesus to be
Christ) by regarding him Allah or His son, or the Jews do Prophet Uzair by
venerating him as son of Allah.
