The Jinn (Al-Jinn)
Verses 24-28 GROUP_1529 72.24-28
24
حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَوْا مَا يُوعَدُونَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدًا
When they are confronted by what they have been promised, they will realize who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers.
25
قُلْ إِنْ أَدْرِي أَقَرِيبٌ مَّا تُوعَدُونَ أَمْ يَجْعَلُ لَهُ رَبِّي أَمَدًا
Say, ‘I do not know whether what you are promised is imminent, or whether my Lord has set for it a far-off day.’
26
عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَى غَيْبِهِ أَحَدًا
He alone has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none,
27
إِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضَى مِن رَّسُولٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَسْلُكُ مِن بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ رَصَدًا
except the messenger whom He has chosen. He sends down guardians who walk before them and behind them,
28
لِيَعْلَمَ أَن قَدْ أَبْلَغُوا رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَأَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ وَأَحْصَى كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَدَدًا
so that He may know that the messengers have delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses all that is with them and He keeps count of all things.

Commentary
(a) The messenger of Truth is apparently a common man. Therefore, the people who are affected by his call turn upon him. They forget that any action against him amounts to action against God Himself. And who can be successful by taking action against God?
