| Asad | and spread the wings of thy tenderness over all of the believers who may follow thee; [For an explanation of the metaphorical expression "lower thy wing" - rendered by me as "spread the wings of thy tenderness" - see 17:24 and the corresponding note. The phrase "all of the believers who follow thee" shows that (contrary to the assumption of most of the commentators) the above passage is not addressed to the Prophet - since all who believe in him are, by definition, his followers and vice versa - but to everyone who chooses to he guided by the Quran, and who is herewith called upon to extend his loving kindness and care to all believers who may "follow" him i.e., who may regard him as spiritually or intellectually superior or more experienced. This interpretation also explains verse 213 above: for whereas the exhortation contained in that verse is meaningful with regard to all who may listen to or read the Quran, it would be meaningless with reference to its Prophet, for whom the principle of God's oneness and uniqueness was the unquestionable beginning and end of all truth.] |
