Commentary 32:5 Al-’Amr الْأَمْرَ, the Scheme, is a reference to the “affair of Faith chosen by Allâh.” Its command comes from Above to establish Truth on earth that has…
يُدَبِّرُ الْأَمْرَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّون
32:5 Al-’Amr الْأَمْرَ, the Scheme, is a reference to the “affair of Faith chosen by Allâh.” Its command comes from Above to establish Truth on earth that has to pass through a period of sustained progress. The Holy Prophet (pbuh) is reported to have said, “The best century is the one in which I live, then the next century, then the century after that. Then it will receive a setback, the process of decline and decay will continue during the day the length of which is a thousand years according to human reckoning. After that the advancement of Islam will begin again, as unhampered as it was in its early stages.” In another saying it is said, “Faith will ascend to the Pleiades and a man of Persian descent (a non-Arab) will bring it back to the earth” (Bukhârî).
