Commentary on 22:75
(p-٣٠٠)قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿اللَّهُ يَصْطَفِي مِنَ المَلائِكَةِ رُسُلًا ومِنَ النّاسِ﴾، بَيَّنَ اللَّهُ - جَلَّ وعَلا - في هَذِهِ الآيَةِ الكَرِيمَةِ: أنَّهُ يَصْطَفِي، أيْ: يَخْتارُ رُسُلًا مِنَ المَلائِكَةِ، ومِنَ النّاسِ فَرُسُلُ النّاسِ لِإبْلاغِ الوَحْيِ، ورُسُلُ المَلائِكَةِ لِذَلِكَ أيْضًا، وقَدْ يُرْسِلُهم لِغَيْرِهِ، وهَذا الَّذِي ذَكَرَهُ هُنا مِنَ اصْطِفائِهِ الرُّسُلَ مِنهُما جاءَ واضِحًا في غَيْرِ هَذا المَوْضِعِ؛ كَقَوْلِهِ في رُسُلِ المَلائِكَةِ: ﴿الحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ فاطِرِ السَّماواتِ والأرْضِ جاعِلِ المَلائِكَةِ رُسُلًا أُولِي أجْنِحَةٍ مَثْنى وثُلاثَ ورُباعَ﴾ الآيَةَ [فاطر: ١] .
• وَقَوْلِهِ في جِبْرِيلَ: ﴿إنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ﴾ [التكوير: ١٩] ومِن ذِكْرِهِ إرْسالَ المَلائِكَةِ بِغَيْرِ الوَحْيِ قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿وَهُوَ القاهِرُ فَوْقَ عِبادِهِ ويُرْسِلُ عَلَيْكم حَفَظَةً حَتّى إذا جاءَ أحَدَكُمُ المَوْتُ تَوَفَّتْهُ رُسُلُنا وهم لا يُفَرِّطُونَ﴾ [الأنعام: ٦١]
• وكَقَوْلِهِ في رُسُلِ بَنِي آدَمَ: ﴿اللَّهُ أعْلَمُ حَيْثُ يَجْعَلُ رِسالَتَهُ﴾ [الأنعام: ١٢٤]
• وقَوْلِهِ: ﴿تِلْكَ الرُّسُلُ فَضَّلْنا بَعْضَهم عَلى بَعْضٍ﴾ الآيَةَ [البقرة: ٢٥٣]،
• وقَوْلِهِ: ﴿وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنا في كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَسُولًا﴾ الآيَةَ [النحل: ٣٦] .

22:73
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلٞ فَٱسۡتَمِعُواْ لَهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَن يَخۡلُقُواْ ذُبَابٗا وَلَوِ ٱجۡتَمَعُواْ لَهُۥۖ وَإِن يَسۡلُبۡهُمُ ٱلذُّبَابُ شَيۡـٔٗا لَّا يَسۡتَنقِذُوهُ مِنۡهُۚ ضَعُفَ ٱلطَّالِبُ وَٱلۡمَطۡلُوبُ ٧٣
O people, an example is presented, so listen to it. Indeed, those you invoke besides Allāh will never create [as much as] a fly, even if they gathered together for it [i.e., that purpose]. And if the fly should steal from them a [tiny] thing, they could not recover it from him. Weak are the pursuer and pursued.1

مَا قَدَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدۡرِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ ٧٤
They have not appraised Allāh with true appraisal.1 Indeed, Allāh is Powerful and Exalted in Might.

22:75
ٱللَّهُ يَصۡطَفِي مِنَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ رُسُلٗا وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعُۢ بَصِيرٞ ٧٥

يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡۚ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ تُرۡجَعُ ٱلۡأُمُورُ ٧٦
He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them.1 And to Allāh will be returned [all] matters.

22:77
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱرۡكَعُواْ وَٱسۡجُدُواْۤ وَٱعۡبُدُواْ رَبَّكُمۡ وَٱفۡعَلُواْ ٱلۡخَيۡرَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ۩ ٧٧
O you who have believed, bow and prostrate and worship your Lord and do good - that you may succeed.
22:78
وَجَٰهِدُواْ فِي ٱللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهِۦۚ هُوَ ٱجۡتَبَىٰكُمۡ وَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فِي ٱلدِّينِ مِنۡ حَرَجٖۚ مِّلَّةَ أَبِيكُمۡ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَۚ هُوَ سَمَّىٰكُمُ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ مِن قَبۡلُ وَفِي هَٰذَا لِيَكُونَ ٱلرَّسُولُ شَهِيدًا عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَتَكُونُواْ شُهَدَآءَ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِۚ فَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُواْ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَٱعۡتَصِمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ هُوَ مَوۡلَىٰكُمۡۖ فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمَوۡلَىٰ وَنِعۡمَ ٱلنَّصِيرُ ٧٨
And strive for Allāh with the striving due to Him. He has chosen you and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. [It is] the religion of your father, Abraham. He [i.e., Allāh] named you "Muslims" before [in former scriptures] and in this [revelation] that the Messenger may be a witness over you and you may be witnesses over the people. So establish prayer and give zakāh and hold fast to Allāh. He is your protector; and excellent is the protector, and excellent is the helper.
