The holy sentence which says: “…The Truth has indeed come to you from your Lord.

The holy sentence which says: “…The Truth has indeed come to you from your Lord...” signifies: by means of the revelations and exhaustive proofs it has been proved to you that what has been passed to you is an authentic and genuine truth which leaves no room for any sort of skepticism. Thus, be firm in your beliefs in which case you should have no doubts, not refuting and denying the Divine verses, and continue your course.

The verse continues saying: “…The Truth hath indeed come to you from your Lord, so be not of the doubters.” Surah Yunus – Verse 95 وَلاَ تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِاَيَاتِ اللَّهِ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ 95. “Nor be of those who belied the Signs of Allah, (for) then you shall be of the losers.” The previous holy verse advised against maintaining any skepticism about the Qur’an. This noble verse addresses itself to refutation of the verses.

Many a time if skepticism remains unchallenged, it will lead to refutation. The verse says: “Nor be of those who belied the Signs of Allah, (for) then you shall be of the losers.” All investigation and analysis that had been applied to skepticism in the previous verse, may equally propound here as well, for refutation is worse than skepticism. There have been numerous verses and traditions which inform of the certainty the Prophet (S) possessed.

Therefore, the target and the addressees of such warnings are mankind, and not the Prophet (S) in person. How can someone, who has led others to believe in something with certainty, be himself a skeptic, or refute that same thing? Surah Yunus – Verses 96 - 97 إِنَّ الَّذِينَ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِمْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ وَلَوْ جَآءَتْهُم كُلُّ ءَايَةٍ حَتَّي يَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الاَلِيمَ 96. “Verily those against whom the Word of your Lord has proved true will not believe,” 97.

“Even if every Sign come unto them, until they see the painful chastisement.” Allah tells the Prophet (S), here, that there is a group among his opponents who are fanatic and obstinate and who cannot be expected to become believers. They have become so brainwashed in their thinking, and have been led astray to such an extent that they have lost their human consciences, becoming individuals who may not be impressed or influenced.

However, explaining the subject with this connotation, the Qur’an says that Allah’s commandment had been proven and was unequivocal to them, though they will not become believers.
