(Ayah 6,5){ فَسَتُبْصِرُ وَ يُبْصِرُوْنَ … :} The demand of your sublime character is exactly this: to be patient over their calling you insane and other hurtful words. “Soon” refers to those occasions in which Allah Almighty helped the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) in various ways, the summary of which is that, in the end, your mortal enemies came to believe in you in droves and became your devoted friends, and those who remained opponents were either killed in Badr, Uhud, Khandaq, the conquest of Makkah, etc., or were humiliated and disgraced, and the rule of Islam was established over the entire Arabian Peninsula. Then, the victories achieved by your Ummah until the Day of Judgment and the elevation of Islam also made it clear who was truly insane. In addition, “soon” also refers to the Day of Judgment, when the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) will be seated at the Maqam-e-Mahmood, the {’’ لِوَاءُ الْحَمْدِ‘‘} (Banner of Praise) will be in your hand, and when you will be giving water to your followers at the Hawd, and those criminals who denied you will be driven towards Hell, then you will see and they will see who was insane.
