SAEDNEWS: The Quran states that truth has come and falsehood neither begins nor returns. These verses show the fate of its opponents: illusions of power collapse, escape routes close, and falsehood ultimately reaches a dead end before the truth.
According to the political desk of Saed News, the final verses of Surah Saba begin with a decisive declaration from God: “Truth has come, and falsehood neither originates nor returns.” In the Al-Mizan commentary, this statement is not presented merely as news, but as an ongoing divine law. According to this interpretation, falsehood is inherently unstable and lacks the capacity for regeneration or continuity.
In the context of the confrontation between the front of truth and its enemies, this verse acts as a source of hope for believers. Even if falsehood appears to dominate at a certain moment, its ultimate end has already been determined. This message removes fear and passivity, reminding believers that standing for truth means aligning with an unstoppable current rooted in divine will rather than apparent power equations.
The Qur’an then depicts a scene in which the opponents of truth confess when the veil is lifted. They acknowledge the truthfulness of the Prophet (PBUH) and the path of truth, but this admission is no longer beneficial. Al-Mizan emphasizes that such faith, coming after witnessing punishment, is not voluntary belief but forced recognition, and therefore carries no salvific value.
This passage serves as a serious warning: the opportunity for choice and return is limited to worldly life. Those who stubbornly oppose truth today may one day admit it, but at a time when no opportunity for compensation remains. For believers, this reinforces patience and perseverance, showing that the delay of punishment is not impunity but part of divine testing and gradual entrapment.
One of the powerful images in these verses is the enemy being seized from a place they considered safe: “And they were seized from a nearby place.” This expresses complete divine encirclement, where punishment arrives not from afar, but precisely from where security was assumed.
For believers, this conveys a clear message: no matter how powerful the enemy appears, they remain within the scope of divine authority. Fear of worldly dominance is replaced by trust in God’s encompassing power.
The verses also highlight the gap between the enemy’s wishes and the reality they face: “How can they attain (faith or return) from a distant place?” This is not merely physical distance but an existential separation between the world of free choice and the realm of accountability after death.
This section implicitly calls for timely action and awareness. For the believing community, it emphasizes that the time for action is now, as regret after the end of the battlefield is meaningless.
With the beginning of Surah Fatir, the tone shifts from punishment to an expansive horizon of mercy and hope: “All praise is due to God, Originator of the heavens and the earth.” In Al-Mizan, this praise is interpreted as referring to God’s wise governance of creation, rooted in mercy.
A key verse follows: “Whatever mercy God opens for people, none can withhold it.” This becomes a central foundation of hope. Any form of divine relief or mercy depends solely on God’s will, and no power can prevent it. For societies under pressure, this offers a rational basis for hope: if God’s mercy is opened, no blockade can stop it.
Another verse asks: “Is there any creator other than God who provides for you from the sky and the earth?” Al-Mizan interprets this as affirming the exclusive nature of creation and sustenance, forming the basis of trust in God and resistance.
When a person understands that their true provider is God, dependence on apparent powers decreases and courage to stand firm increases. This verse targets the psychological roots of fear and dissolves them through remembrance of divine authority.
Taken together, these verses outline a complete educational path: from the certainty of truth’s victory and falsehood’s demise, to the depiction of the enemy’s fate, and finally to the opening of horizons of mercy and hope for believers. This combination of warning and good news is precisely what a community facing adversity requires.
The final message is clear: resistance, when based on an understanding of divine laws, does not lead to exhaustion but transforms into deep and lasting hope—hope grounded in unbreakable divine promises that illuminate the future even in the most difficult circumstances.
