Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 5 Al-Ma'idah, Ayat 109-109
يَوۡمَ يَجۡمَعُ اللّٰهُ الرُّسُلَ فَيَقُوۡلُ مَاذَاۤ اُجِبۡتُمۡ ؕ قَالُوۡا لَا عِلۡمَ لَـنَا ؕ اِنَّكَ اَنۡتَ عَلَّامُ الۡغُيُوۡبِ
﴿5:109﴾
(5:109) The Day122 when Allah will gather together the Messengers123
and say: 'What answer were you given?' They will reply: 'We have no real knowledge
of it.124 You alone fully know all that lies beyond the reach of
human perception.
Notes
122. This refers to the Day of Judgement.
123. The reference here is to the response of the world to the call of the
Prophets.
124. This reply indicates that the Prophets would say that their knowledge
was confined to that limited, outward response which they had encountered during
their lifetimes. The true reaction to their call at various places and in different
forms would only be known completely to God Himself.
