God chose Messengers whom He willed

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

 مَّا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيَذَرَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَىٰ مَآ أَنتُمْعَلَيْهِ حَتَّىٰ يَمِيزَ ٱلْخَبِيثَ مِنَ ٱلطَّيِّبِ وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُطْلِعَكُمْ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَجْتَبِى مِن رُّسُلِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ فَـَٔامِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦ وَإِنتُؤْمِنُوا۟ وَتَتَّقُوا۟ فَلَكُمْ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ 179

179.  It is not (the purpose) of Allah to leave you in your present state till He shall separate the wicked from the good. And it is not (the purpose of) Allah to let you know the Unseen, but Allah chooseth of His messengers whom He will, (to receive knowledge thereof). So believe in Allah and His messengers. And if ye believe and ward off (evil), yours will be a vast reward

179.  Maa  kaanAllaahu  li-yazaral-Mu’-miniina  ‘alaa  maaa  ‘antum  ‘alayhi  hattaa  yamiizal-khabiisa  minat-tayyib.  Wa  maa  kaanAllaahu  li-yutli-‘akum  ‘alal- gaybi  wa  laa-kinnAllaaha  yajtabii  mir-rusuliHii  many-yashaaa’.  Fa-‘aaminuu  Billaahi  wa  rusuliH.  Wa  ‘in- tu’-minuu  wa    tatta-quu  falakum  ‘ajrun  ‘aziim.

Commentary

      

It was described in the previous verse that which more rein of prosperity has been given to the Infidels, that is not a proof that they have become graceful near Allah Almighty. Now it is being explained, “It is not true also that the Muslims have suffered from disasters and unpleasant incidents, therefore they have incurred displeasure of Allah Almighty. Actually, Allah Almighty does not desire to keep the Muslims always in their present condition, in which state they remained till then”. That is to say, many Infidels used to play the game of hypocrisy in the cloak of Muslim-hood. They have been staying on infidelity while they used to recite ‘Kalimah’ (the Muslim confession of faith), “Laa ‘ilaaha ‘illAllaahu, Muhammad-ur-RasuulUllaah” {There is no (other God) but Allah, and Muhammad is His Messenger} (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) by their tongues. And they remained mixed up with the Muslims to deceive them. Moreover, Allah Almighty produced such circumstances to save the Muslims from the deception of Hypocrites due to which it might be distinguished between the pure and the impure, and separated the good from the wicked.

Although, it was very easy for Allah Almighty to disclose the names of Hypocrites without putting the entire Muslims in trial, but it is not suitable according to the philosophy and wisdom of Allah Almighty, that He manifest such concealed matters to the entire people. However, He chooses Messengers/Prophets out of the mankind for this purpose and teaches them knowledge of mysteries as much as He wishes.

                                                   

It also appears from this verse that the knowledge of mysteries is not delivered directly to the entire people, but only to the Prophets and Messengers, (peace be upon them). You have to Believe in the Word of Allah Almighty (Holy Qur’an), Sayings of His last Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and choose the life of sobriety. If you did so, then consider it as you have gotten every thing. Then there will be great reward for you”.
