Surah Al-Hadid Ayat 29

Pada ayat ini Allah menolak pendapat Bani Israil yang mengatakan bahwa rasul-rasul dan nabi-nabi itu hanyalah diangkat dari keturunan mereka saja. Allah mengangkat Nabi Muhammad saw bukan dari keturunan Bani Israil, agar mereka mengetahui bahwa hanya Dia yang menentukan segala sesuatu dan yang akan memperoleh pahala dua kali lipat itu hanyalah ahli kitab yang beriman kepada Muhammad saw saja, jika mereka tidak beriman kepada Nabi Muhammad saw mereka tidak akan mendapat pahala sedikit pun. Pada akhir ayat ini Allah menerangkan bahwa Dia mempunyai karunia yang tidak terhingga banyaknya, yang akan dianugerahkan kepada orang-orang yang dikehendaki-Nya.

So that the People of the Scripture the Torah — those who did not believe in Muhammad (s) — may know in other words I inform you of this so that they the People of the Scripture may know that a of a-llā is softened in place of the hardened form an-lā its subject being the pronoun of the matter that is to say understand it as being annahum they have no power over anything of God’s bounty contrary to their claims that they are God’s beloved and those who deserve His beatitude and that all bounty is in God’s hand; He gives it to whomever He will and hence He has given the believers in the Prophet among them their reward twofold as stated above; and God is dispenser of tremendous bounty.
