Commentary
  
Purpose of Holy Qur’aan has been explained in this verse very clearly and the duty of the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) has been manifested well efficiently. The Object of Holy Qur’aan is to establish a way of life for us in the world. Therefore, there are commandments for the Acknowledged Virtues and Prohibitions from the Sins (‘Amr  bil  Ma’-ruuf  wa  nahii  ‘anil  munkar – the most important social principal of Islam) in it “Enjoining Good & Forbidding Evil”.
                                             
It is the duty of Our Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) to convey the Message of Allah Almighty (Holy Qur’aan) to the people clearly and establish the way of following by acting upon it Himself and then entrust this duty to His nation, and they should not let this “Established Way” be effaced and help one another to make it easy to be followed. So that, the human beings may not have any excuse that they could not know well “the Way of Islam”.

After that, it is the only duty of entire mankind that they should believe in the Last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), have faith in the Scripture, brought by Him i.e. Holy Qur’aan, follow His Sayings (‘Ahaadiis), try to recite and meditate in the Holy Qur’aan and continue this practice during their entire life time.

It is not everyone’s duty to seek causes of the commands and think, “I shall not act upon this command until I shall not be aware of its usefulness”. At first, believing in it is compulsory that “It is certainly advantageous for me, for which I have been instructed by Allah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) to do, though I may know its usefulness or otherwise. And surely there is my loss from the beginning to the end, in those deeds from which I have been prevented, whether I may know it or not”.

The aim of this verse is that the people, after believing, should obey Allah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) without any hesitation, and keep themselves be saved from opposing the Law prescribed by Holy Qur’aan. “It is advantageous for you. And if you did not care and turned away from it then, Remember and beware! That the duty of Our Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) is only clear conveyance of Our Message, which has been delivered to you properly. Now you will be responsible yourselves”.
