Commentary 6:48 Allâh sends Prophets to people who are in moral and spiritual poverty, afflicted with adversaries, calamities and destitution. The purpose of sending…

وَمَا نُرْسِلُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ ۖ فَمَنْ آمَنَ وَأَصْلَحَ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

6:48 Allâh sends Prophets to people who are in moral and spiritual poverty, afflicted with adversaries, calamities and destitution. The purpose of sending Prophets is to give people a chance to become humble (6:42). The Prophets come to warn those who are unwilling to amend their behaviour (مُنذِرِينَ), and they come as bearers of good tidings for those who believe and change their sinful ways (مُبَشِّرِينَ ; 6:49). The good tidings they receive are that “they will have no cause of fear, nor shall they grieve” (فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ). Amana أمن means to trust, be secure, be in safety, or confide in. Îmânإيمان is derived from amana and means faith or belief. When the word islâm إسلام (“submission”) is used along with the word imân, then imân signifies sincerity and firmness of faith in one’s heart, while Islâm without imân expresses only outward submission or practical obedience. For a true believer, imân comes first and then islâm but for those who are weak of faith, islâm takes precedence over imân (cf. 63:7).
