** Note 062:004. Apart from other meanings this verse is also a forecast. The forecast is of future events that will keep on recurring without ever coming to an end. Time and again God will select a person to depute to the folks unlettered in spiritual matters. The person chosen will be extraordinary and sent as the messenger from the Almighty Allah. His task will be to connect ordinary people with their Creator with the sturdy spiritual bonds. Miraculously this connection will set them to purify themselves inwardly and grow spiritually. Their entire society will change.
The methodology to read, recite and rehears the Scriptures to them will revolutionize their lives. The one result of educating them this way will make them learn and live their religion and become wise. The overall change from their previous lifestyle will be mastering a control on their human frailties. The consequential ascendancy in all their worldly affairs will blossom out into a New World Order. They won’t need some primogeniture process or clannish connections to rise, rule and serve people.
They will live as God-fearing, simple and honest persons but their way will bend mighty monarchs and posh pashas to find honor in duplicating their just society, social equality, religious freedom, highest learning, genuine service and rule of law for their own masses in their domains.
Their religion was named Islam that meant peace. They provided peace to rich and poor, in and out of every home, whichever country or culture came under their sway. However, when the human nature of being brute, barbarian and bloodthirsty which invariably corrupts power will creep into them again, another Victory of Truth and Justice will also appear as forecast.
