﴿وَآخَرِينَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا يَلْحَقُوا بِهِمْ ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ﴾
[ الجمعة: 3]

62:3 And [to] others of them who have not yet joined them. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

And to others wa-ākharīna is a supplement to al-ummiyyīna ‘the unlettered’ that is to say those who are alive from among them and to those of them who will come after them who have not yet joined them with regard to precedence and merit; and He is the Mighty the Wise in His kingdom and in His actions those mentioned as coming afterwards are the Successors al-tābi‘ūna; and it suffices to mention these Successors in order to illustrate the greater merit of the Companions among whom the Prophet s was sent over all those others of humans and jinn to whom he was also sent and who believed and will believe in him up until the Day of Resurrection for every generation is better than the succeeding one.

There are others elsewhere who have yet to join them and share with them heavens mercy and grace. and Allah is Azizun and Hakimun

The Virtues of Surat Al-Jumu`ah Ibn `Abbas and Abu Hurayrah narrated that Allah's Messenger ﷺ used to recite Surat Al-Jumu`ah and Surat Al-Munafiqin during the Friday Prayer.
Muslim collected this Hadith in his Sahih. بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Everything praises and glorifies Allah Allah states that everything in the heavens and the earth glo Allah the Exalted said in another Ayah, وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلاَّ يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدَهِ ( Glorify Him and there is not a thing but glorifies His praise ) ( 17:44 ) Allah said, الْمَلِكُ الْقُدُّوسُ ( the King, the Holy, ) meaning that He is the Owner and King of the heavens and the earth Who has perfect control over their affairs.
He is the Holy, free of all shortcomings, His attributes are perfect, العَزِيزُ الحَكِيمُ ( the Almighty, the All-Wise. ) whose explanation is already discussed in many places. The Favor that Allah granted by sending Muhammad ﷺ Allah the Exalted said, هُوَ الَّذِى بَعَثَ فِى الأُمِّيِّينَ رَسُولاً مِّنْهُمْ ( He it is Who sent among the unlettered ones a Messenger from among themselves, ) the word `unlettered' here refers to the Arabs.
Allah the Exalted said in another Ayah, وَقُلْ لِّلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْكِتَـبَ وَالاٍّمِّيِّينَ ءَأَسْلَمْتُمْ فَإِنْ أَسْلَمُواْ فَقَدِ اهْتَدَواْ وَّإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ الْبَلَـغُ وَاللَّهُ بَصِيرٌ بِالْعِبَادِ ( And say to those who were given the Scripture and those who are illiterates: "Do you submit yourselves If they do, they are rightly guided; but if they turn away, your duty is only to convey the message; and Allah is All-Seer of (His ) servants.) ( 3:20 ) Mentioning the unlettered ones in specific here does not mean that Muhammad ﷺ was only sent to them, because the blessing to the Arabs is greater than that of other nations.
In another Ayah, Allah said, وَإِنَّهُ لَذِكْرٌ لَّكَ وَلِقَوْمِكَ ( And verily, this is indeed a Reminder for you and your people ) ( 43:44 ).
Surely, the Qur'an is also a reminder for those other than Arabs to take heed.
Allah the Exalted said, وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الاٌّقْرَبِينَ ( And warn your tribe of near kindred. ) ( 26:214 ) These Ayat do not negate Allah's statements, قُلْ يَأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا ( Say: "O mankind! verily, I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allah. ) ( 7:158 ), and, لاٌّنذِرَكُمْ بِهِ وَمَن بَلَغَ ( that I may therewith warn you and whomsoever it may reach. ) ( 6:19 ) and in His statement about the Qur'an, وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِهِ مِنَ الاٌّحْزَابِ فَالنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهُ ( But those of the groups that reject it, the Fire will be their promised meeting place. ) ( 11:17 ) There are other Ayat that indicate that his Message is universal.
He, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, was sent to all people, mankind and the Jinns alike.
We mentioned this meaning before in Surat Al-An`am producing various Ayat and Hadiths.
All praise and thanks are to due to Allah.
This Ayah testifies that Allah has indeed accepted the invocation of His friend Ibrahim when he supplicated Allah to send a Messenger to the people of Makkah from among them their own.
One who will recite to them Allah's statements, purify them and teach them the Book and the Hikmah.
So, Allah -- all praise and thanks be to Him -- sent him when the Messengers ceased and the way was obscure.
Indeed it was a time when it was most needed.
Especially since Allah hated the people of the earth, Arabs and non-Arabs alike, except for a few of the People of the Scripture, who kept to the true faith Allah the Exalted sent to `Isa bin Maryam, peace be upon him.
This is why Allah said, هُوَ الَّذِى بَعَثَ فِى الأُمِّيِّينَ رَسُولاً مِّنْهُمْ يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَـبَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُواْ مِن قَبْلُ لَفِى ضَلَلٍ مُّبِينٍ ( He it is Who sent among the unlettered ones a Messenger from among themselves, reciting to them His Ayat, purifying them, and teaching them the Book and the Hikmah.
And verily, they had been before in manifest error. ) In ancient times, the Arabs used to adhere by the religion of Ibrahim, peace be upon him.
They later changed, corrupted and contradicted it, choosing polytheism instead of Tawhid and doubts instead of certainty.
They invented a religion that Allah did not legislate, just as the People of the Scriptures did when they changed and corrupted their Divine Books.
Allah sent Muhammad ﷺ, with a great divine legislation, perfect religion that is suitable for all humans and Jinns.
In it, there is guidance and explanations of all that they need in this life and the Hereafter.
It draws them closer to Paradise and Allah's pleasure and takes them away from the Fire and earning Allah's anger.
In it, there is the final judgement for all types of doubts and suspicion for all major and minor matters of the religion.
In Muhammad ﷺ, Allah gathered all the good qualities of the Prophets before him, and gave him what He has never given the earlier and later generations of mankind.
May Allah's peace and blessings be on Muhammad ﷺ until the Day of Judgement. Muhammad ﷺ is the Messenger to Arabs and Non-Arabs alike Allah said, وَءَاخَرِينَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا يَلْحَقُواْ بِهِمْ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ ( And others among them who have not yet joined them.
And He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. ) Imam Abu `Abdullah Al-Bukhari, may Allah have mercy upon him, recorded that Abu Hurayrah said, "We were sitting with the Prophet , when Surat Al-Jumu`ah was revealed to him; وَءَاخَرِينَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا يَلْحَقُواْ بِهِمْ ( And others among them who have not yet joined them. ) They said, `Who are they, O Allah's Messenger' The Prophet did not reply until they repeated the question thrice.
At that time, Salman Al-Farisi was with us.
So Allah's Messenger ﷺ placed his hand on Salman, saying,
«لَوْ كَانَ الْإِيمَانُ عِنْدَ الثُّرَيَّا لَنَالَهُ رِجَالٌ أَوْ رَجُلٌ مِنْ هؤُلَاءِ»
( If faith were on Ath-Thurayya (Pleiades ), even then some men or a man from these people would attain it.)" Muslim, At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa`i, Ibn Abi Hatim and Ibn Jarir collected this Hadith.
This Hadith indicates that Surat Al-Jumu`ah was revealed in Al-Madinah and that the Messenger's Message is universal.
The Prophet explained Allah's statement, وَءَاخَرِينَ مِنْهُمْ ( And others among them ) by mentioning Persia.
This is why the Prophet sent messages to the kings of Persia and Rome, among other kings, calling them to Allah the Exalted and to follow what he was sent with.
This is why Mujahid and several others said that Allah's statement, وَءَاخَرِينَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا يَلْحَقُواْ بِهِمْ ( And others among them who have not yet joined them. ) refers to all non-Arabs who believe in the truth of the Prophet.
Allah's statement, وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ ( And He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. ) asserts that He is Almighty and All-Wise in His legislation and the destiny He appoints.
Allah's statement, ذَلِكَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُ وَاللَّهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ ( That is the grace of Allah, which He bestows on whom He wills.
And Allah is the Owner of mighty grace. ) refers to the great prophethood that He granted Muhammad and the qualities that He favored his Ummah with, by sending Muhammad to them.

(62:3) and (He has also) sent him to those others who have not yet joined them. *5 He is the Most Mighty, the Most Wise. *6

And [to] others of them who have meaning

*5) That is, the Apostleship of Muhammad ( upon whom be Allah's peace and blessings ) is not restricted only to the Arabs but is meant for other nations and races as well, who havc not yet joined the believers, but are going to be born till the Last Day.
The word minhum ( of them ) in the original can have two meanings: ( 1 ) " That those other people will be of the ummis i.e.
the non-Isaelite nations of the world; " and ( 2 ) " that they will be believers in Muhammad ( upon whom be Allah s peace and blessings ), though they have not yet joined the believers, but will join them later on.
" Thus, this verse is one of those verses which explicitly state that the Message of the Holy Prophet ( upon whom be peace ) is meant for all mankind for ever.
The other places where this theme has o occurred in the Qur'an are: AI-'Imran: 19, Al-A'raf: 158, Al-Anbiya': 107, AI-Furqan: 1, Saba 28.
( For further explanation, see EN 47 of Surah Saba ).

*6) That is, it is a manifestation of Allah's own power and wisdom that among an un-civilized, , un-lettered people He has raised a great Prophet, whose teachings arc so revolutionary and contain such eternal and universal principles as can provide a sound basis for the whole of mankind to be a single unified community, which can obtain guidance from those principles for ever.
An impostor, however hard he may have tried, could not have attained this position and rank.
Not to speak of a backward people like the Arabs; even the most intelligent and talented man of the most advanced nation of the world cannot have the power that he may revolutionist a nation so completely, and then give such comprehensive principles to the world that all mankind may follow it as one community and be able to run a universal and all-pervasive system of one way of life and one civilization for ever.
This is a miracle which has taken place only by Allah's power, and only AIIah on the basis of His wisdom has chosen the person, the country and the nation for it.

( Along with others of them ) of the Arabs; and it is also said: of the clients ( who have not yet joined them ) who have not joined the first Arabs. He says: they have not joined yet but they will join later. He says: Allah sent Muhammad ( pbuh ) as a Messenger to the Arabs as well as to the clients. ( He is the Mighty ) in retribution against those who disbelieve in Him, in His Scripture and in His Messenger Muhammad ( pbuh ) ( the Wise ) in His command and decree and He has decreed that none should be worshipped except Him.

And He has sent him (Prophet Muhammad SAW) also to others among them (Muslims) who have not yet joined them (but they will come). And He (Allah) is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
