Translation — Tafsir

Word Meanings:

Al-Rusul (الرُّسُل): The Messengers of Allah, may peace be upon them all.
Mādhā ujibtum (مَاذَا أُجِبْتُمْ): "What answer were you given?" — i.e., how did your nations respond to your call?
Lā ʿilma lanā (لَا عِلْمَ لَنَا): "We have no knowledge" — a declaration of their complete reliance on Allah’s knowledge alone.
ʿAllām al-Ghuyūb (عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ): The All-Knower of the unseen — He alone knows what is hidden in hearts and what will unfold in the future.

Tafsir (Explanation):

O people, remember the Day of Resurrection — a day of immense awe and majesty — when Allah will gather all His Messengers, from the first to the last, and address them with a question that carries profound weight: "What answer were you given by your nations when you called them to the worship of Allah alone and to obedience to His commands?" This question is not because Allah, Glorified be He, is unaware of what happened — far be it from Him — but rather to establish the ultimate proof against the nations and to manifest His justice before all of creation.

The Messengers, peace be upon them, will respond with utmost humility and reverence: "We have no knowledge." They mean: we have no knowledge comparable to Your knowledge, O Lord. We only witnessed what our nations showed us outwardly — some believed and some rejected — but we do not know what truly lay hidden in their hearts, what they concealed of hypocrisy, or what they did after we left them. They then affirm: "Indeed, You alone are the All-Knower of the unseen." You know what we knew and what we did not know; You know the secrets of every soul, the intentions behind every deed, and the fate of every nation after our time among them.

This scene teaches us a profound lesson: even the greatest of Allah’s creation — the Messengers — declare their complete submission to Allah’s infinite knowledge. How then can we, as ordinary human beings, claim to know everything or judge others based on appearances alone? Truly, Allah alone is the Judge of what is hidden and what is manifest.

A Call to Reflection and Action:

Dear reader, this verse opens a window into the Day when all accounts will be settled. Imagine standing before your Lord, being asked about how you responded to His messengers and His message. The Messengers themselves disclaim any knowledge beyond what Allah grants them — so how careful must we be with our own deeds and intentions? Let this verse awaken in you a sincere desire to respond to Allah’s call with faith and obedience, to purify your heart from hypocrisy, and to live each day as one who knows that nothing is hidden from the All-Knower of the unseen. The Qur’an is not merely a book to be read — it is a guide to be lived. Let this scene motivate you to be among those who answer the call of the Messengers with truth and sincerity, so that on that Day, you may be among the successful.

📜 Verse 107-111 — Al-Maidah

107فَإِنْ عُثِرَ عَلَىٰ أَنَّهُمَا اسْتَحَقَّا إِثْمًا فَآخَرَانِ يَقُومَانِ مَقَامَهُمَا مِنَ الَّذِينَ اسْتَحَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الْأَوْلَيَانِ فَيُقْسِمَانِ بِاللَّهِ لَشَهَادَتُنَا أَحَقُّ مِن شَهَادَتِهِمَا وَمَا اعْتَدَيْنَا إِنَّا إِذًا لَّمِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ

But if it is found that those two were guilty of perjury, let two others stand in their place [who are] foremost [in claim] from those who have a lawful right. And let them swear by Allah, "Our testimony is truer than their testimony, and we have not transgressed. Indeed, we would then be of the wrongdoers."

108ذَٰلِكَ أَدْنَىٰ أَن يَأْتُوا بِالشَّهَادَةِ عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهَا أَوْ يَخَافُوا أَن تُرَدَّ أَيْمَانٌ بَعْدَ أَيْمَانِهِمْ ۗ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَاسْمَعُوا ۗ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ

That is more likely that they will give testimony according to its [true] objective, or [at least] they would fear that [other] oaths might be taken after their oaths. And fear Allah and listen; and Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.

109۞ يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ الرُّسُلَ فَيَقُولُ مَاذَا أُجِبْتُمْ ۖ قَالُوا لَا عِلْمَ لَنَا ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ

[Be warned of] the Day when Allah will assemble the messengers and say, "What was the response you received?" They will say, "We have no knowledge. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen"

110إِذْ قَالَ اللَّهُ يَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ اذْكُرْ نِعْمَتِي عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَىٰ وَالِدَتِكَ إِذْ أَيَّدتُّكَ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ تُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فِي الْمَهْدِ وَكَهْلًا ۖ وَإِذْ عَلَّمْتُكَ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَالتَّوْرَاةَ وَالْإِنجِيلَ ۖ وَإِذْ تَخْلُقُ مِنَ الطِّينِ كَهَيْئَةِ الطَّيْرِ بِإِذْنِي فَتَنفُخُ فِيهَا فَتَكُونُ طَيْرًا بِإِذْنِي ۖ وَتُبْرِئُ الْأَكْمَهَ وَالْأَبْرَصَ بِإِذْنِي ۖ وَإِذْ تُخْرِجُ الْمَوْتَىٰ بِإِذْنِي ۖ وَإِذْ كَفَفْتُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنكَ إِذْ جِئْتَهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْهُمْ إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ

[The Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, remember My favor upon you and upon your mother when I supported you with the Pure Spirit and you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and [remember] when I taught you writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and when you designed from clay [what was] like the form of a bird with My permission, then you breathed into it, and it became a bird with My permission; and you healed the blind and the leper with My permission; and when you brought forth the dead with My permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from [killing] you when you came to them with clear proofs and those who disbelieved among them said, "This is not but obvious magic."

111وَإِذْ أَوْحَيْتُ إِلَى الْحَوَارِيِّينَ أَنْ آمِنُوا بِي وَبِرَسُولِي قَالُوا آمَنَّا وَاشْهَدْ بِأَنَّنَا مُسْلِمُونَ

And [remember] when I inspired to the disciples, "Believe in Me and in My messenger Jesus." They said, "We have believed, so bear witness that indeed we are Muslims [in submission to Allah]."
