18 The Holy Prophet was sorely distressed on leaving Makkah. When he was compelled to emigrate, he had stood facing the city outside it and said: "O Makkah, you are the most beloved city in the sight of AIIah, and I have the greatest love for you out of all the cities of Allah; if the polytheists had not driven me out I would never have left you." About this it has been said: "After driving you out of the city the people of Makkah think that they have achieved a great success, whereas, in fact, they have hastened only their own ruin by this evil act." The style of the verse clearly indicates that it must have been sent, down close after the Hijrah.
19 That is, "How is it possible that when the Prophet and his followers have been guided by God to a clear and straight path and they have started following it in the light of full knowledge and vision, they should walk along, with those who are still persisting in their ways of ignorance, who regard their deviation as guidance and their evildoing as a praiseworthy thing, and who judge on the basis of their personal desires, and not by argument as to what is the truth and what is falsehood. Now, neither can the lives of these two groups be alike in this world nor can their end be alike in the Hereafter."
سورة مُحَمَّد حاشیہ نمبر :19
یعنی آخر یہ کیسے ممکن ہے کہ پیغمبر اور اس کے پیروؤں کو جب خدا کی طرف سے ایک صاف اور سیدھا راستہ مل گیا ہے اور پوری بصیرت کی روشنی میں وہ اس پر قائم ہو چکے ہیں ، تو اب وہ ان لوگوں کے ساتھ چل سکیں جو اپنی پرانی جاہلیت کے ساتھ چمٹے ہوئے ہیں ، جو اپنی ضلالتوں کو ہدایت اور اپنی بدکرداریوں کو خوبی سمجھ رہے ہیں ، جو کسی دلیل کی بنا پر نہیں بلکہ محض اپنی خواہشات کی بنا پر یہ فیصلے کرتے ہیں کہ حق کیا ہے اور باطل کیا ۔ اب تو نہ اس دنیا میں ان دونوں گروہوں کی زندگی ایک جیسی ہو سکتی ہے اور نہ آخرت میں ان کا انجام یکساں ہو سکتا ہے ۔
