The Guidance through Messengers and Their Rejections
The messengers coming with the guidance - The fate of disbelievers - the guilty ones shall accuse each other and shall themselves witness against themselves.
(32) قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي أَخْرَجَ لِعِبادِهِ وَ الطَّيِّباتِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ قُلْ هِيَ لِلَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا فِي الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا خالِصَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ كَذلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْآياتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ
32. " Say: ' Who has prohibited the ornament of Allah and the good provision which He has brought forth for His servants ? ' Say: ' These are for those who believe in the (short) life of this world (to be) exclusively theirs on the Day of Resurrection.' Thus do We explain the Signs for a people who know."
Commentary :
The verse begins thus:
" Say: ' Who has prohibited the ornament of Allah and the good provision which He has brought forth for His servants ? '..."
The Prophet (p.b.u.h.) is commanded to ask who has forbidden the clothings with which people decorate themselves, and who has prohibited the pure and good sustenances. These are the things Allah has created for His servants. The verse continues saying :
"... Say: ' These are for those who believe in the (short) life of this world (to be) exclusively theirs on the Day of Resurrection.' ..."
These bounties, in this present world, are for the believing people, yet they are not peculiar to them, because disbelieving ones have also a share in them. But, in the Hereafter, they are special to the believers and none else will have a share in them.
The fact that in this statement Allah has not said that these are in the world for both those who believe and those who do not believe, is in order to attract the attentions to this matter that bounties have been created for the benefit of the believing people, and, in the meantime, the disbelieving ones enjoy these bounties, too.
"... Thus do We explain the signs for a people who know."
The Qur'an implies that as Allah introduces the hypocrites to you and admonishes the benefit of your religion to you, He explains the Signs for the people who have knowledge, too.
