وَآخَرِينَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا يَلْحَقُوا بِهِمْ ۚ
62:3 Some commentators of the Holy Qur’ân relate this verse to the “advent” of the Holy Prophet’s teachings in later days. The verse is metaphorical and refers to the great Deputies of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) in the robes of spiritual servants and guides. They will make their appearance in the ummah أُمٌة(followes of the Holy Prophet [pbuh]). The advent of such persons (called Mujaddidîn) has been mentioned in several Traditions of the Holy Prophet (pbuh). These Reformers will revive the teachings of the Holy Qur’ân, they will teach what the Holy Prophet (pbuh) taught and follow the Holy Prophets noble example, and they will be able to prepare a community of teachers, writers and leaders of their age, who will be spreading the light and the learnings of the Holy Qur’ân. They will play a role analogous to the role of the Companions of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) in the early days of Islam. Appearances of Divine teachers in the shape of Mujaddid) مجدٌدreformer) and Muzakkîمزٌكي – the purifiers – is a Divine Law because of the necessity to keep on creating Muzakkî (cf. 62:2). This is the meaning of the Prayer we are taught in al-Fâtihah, when we recite, “Show us the right path, the path of those whom You have shown your blessings” (an ‘amta ‘alaihimأَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ). Who were the people on whom Allâh showed His grace and blessings? The answer is given in 4:69: “And those who obey Allâh and this Messenger, it is those who are with those upon whom Allâh has bestowed His blessings (an ‘amta ‘alaihimأَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ) - the truthful (saddîqصدٌيق ), the bearers of testimony (shâhidشاهد ), the martyrs (shahîdشهيد ) and the righteous (muttaqîمُتٌقي )”. Another answer is given in verse 19:58. In 2:85 the believers are addressed with the words. “You believe in a part of the Book and refuse to believe in the other part,” conveys the message that accepting the Imâms of the era, the Mujaddad or the Muzakkî is a requirement for the Muslim. Calling them liars would be a grave mistake.
There is yet another argument that necessitates the Reformers (Mujaddad). We read therein: “Their prophet will say, My Lord! My people have abandoned even this Qur’ân (25:30)”. It cannot be that our Lord will not send new teachers who shall remind the Muslim of the Qur’ânic teachings and reform the decrepit corruption in the final and true religion chosen by Allâh. These teachers will not be new Prophets; rather they will revive and give new life to the Religion chosen by the All-Mighty Creator for His best creation.
