Commentary 9:33 This verse is repeated three times in the Holy Qur’ân in almost the exact same wording. The other occurrences are in 48:28 and 61:9. Here it is mentioned…
هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَىٰ وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ
9:33 This verse is repeated three times in the Holy Qur’ân in almost the exact same wording. The other occurrences are in 48:28 and 61:9. Here it is mentioned in connection with Judaism and Christianity, in 48:28 it is mentioned in the context of the Arab opposition to Muslims, and in 61:9 in connection with all the religions of the world who are opposing the religion of Allâh. Therefore, it has to be translated accordingly to make the context understand. The message of the verse is that all Prophets preached the same religion, even though their teachings were corrupted by later generations. Even Islam will at risk of this process of gradual corruption.
However, it is Divine Will to perfect His Light brought by the Prophets. The Holy Prophet is the last and the seal of all Prophets and no new prophet shall come. This is because with him, Allâh has perfected His religion. This perfection shall now be protected through the work of Reformers; Mujaddadîn and Mehdi, Saints and Auliyâ; those endowed with special Divine favours and blessed with Divine knowledge. They will carry the original Light. Although the opponents and enemies of Allâh will repeatedly try to blow out the Light with the breath of their mouths, indicating the use of misleading information and propaganda, their fruitless efforts will be “hard for them to bear”.
