اَللّٰہُ یَعۡلَمُ مَا تَحۡمِلُ کُلُّ اُنۡثٰی وَمَا تَغِیۡضُ الۡاَرۡحَامُ وَمَا تَزۡدَادُ ۖ وَکُلُّ شَیۡءٍ عِنۡدَہٗ بِمِقۡدَارٍ

35:12; 41:48.
In v. 4 we are told that all things in the universe have pairs and that in the spiritual world also some individuals act like males and others like females, the former exercising influence and the latter receiving it. The verse under comment points out that in the person of the Holy Prophet there has appeared one who is spiritually a male and that nobody can attain any spiritual rank without receiving his stamp. It further says that God knows well the natural capacities and aptitudes of the Holy Prophet’s people, whether they will accept Divine or satanic influence, and which influence will grow and which will decline. Those who accept the Holy Prophet and receive his stamp will grow and increase in power, influence and numbers, while his opponents will decline and decrease.

Important Words:
تغیض (diminish) is derived from غاض which means, it (water) became scanty and sank into the earth; or it (flow of milk or price of a commodity, etc.) decreased or diminished or became deficient. The Quranic expression ما تغیض الارحام means, the wombs falling short of completion so that the foetus dies. The Arabs say غاض الکرام و فاض اللئام i.e. the generous became few or perished and the mean became many. غاض is also used transitively meaning he made (water, etc.) to become scanty; to decrease or diminish (Lane).
Commentary:
In v. 4 we were told that all things in the universe have pairs and that in the spiritual world also some individuals act like males and others like females, the former exercising influence and the latter receiving it. In the verse under comment the Quran intends to point out that in the person of the Holy Prophet there has appeared one who is spiritually a male and that nobody can attain any spiritual rank without receiving his stamp or being influenced by him. The words, Allah knows what every female bears, and what the wombs diminish and what they cause to grow, mean that God knows well the natural capacities and aptitudes of the Holy Prophet’s people, and whether they will accept divine or satanic influence and which influence will grow and which will decline. The verse hints that those who accept the Holy Prophet and receive his stamp will grow and increase in power, influence and numbers, natural capacities and talents, while his opponents will decline and decrease till their physical and spiritual progeny will be destroyed altogether. Taken in the physical sense, the verse means that only God knows what will become of future generations of disbelievers. Their future generations will accept Islam and their females will bear only such children as are destined to become servants of the Holy Prophet. And this proved to be actually the case. By far the greater part of the younger generation of the Meccans, and for that matter of other Arab tribes, accepted the Holy Prophet, to the great chagrin of their fathers whose tyranny and persecution could not prevent them from embracing Islam.

یُدَبِّرُ الۡاَمۡرَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ اِلَی الۡاَرۡضِ ثُمَّ یَعۡرُجُ اِلَیۡہِ فِیۡ یَوۡمٍ کَانَ مِقۡدَارُہٗۤ اَلۡفَ سَنَۃٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّوۡنَ
这节经文提及伊斯兰教在它兴衰交替的经历中命定要遇到的非常严重的危机。伊斯兰教在它的历程的最初三个世纪中必然是一个持续发展和成功的时期。据说穆圣曾经明确地暗示过这一事实, 他说, “最好的一个世纪是我活着的这个世纪, 而后是下一个世纪, 而后是再一个世纪” (تِرْمِذِی و بُخَارِی كِتابُ الشَّهَادَات, Tirmidhi & Bukhari, Kitabush Shahadat)。在最初三个世纪的连续胜利之后, 伊斯兰教开始衰落。这种衰退的过程在以后的千年中进行下去。“而后在一天之内上升回到他那里, 这一天的时间按照你们的计算是一千年。” 这句话所指的是这一千年的时期。据传, 他在另一次讲话中曾说过, 这一宗教将上升到昴 (宿) 星团 (Pleiades), 而一个波斯血统的人将把它带回地球 (بُخَارِی كِتابُ التَّفْسِيْر, Bukhari, Kitabut Tafsir)。伊历纪元第十四世纪主许迈喜合显现后, 这个衰退过程已经停止, 伊斯兰教复兴时期已经开始。
بہائی لوگ اس آیت کے غلط معنے کرکے مسلمانوں کو بہکاتے ہیں وہ کہتے ہیں کہ اسلام کی زندگی صرف ایک ہزار سال ہے پھر وہ منسوخ ہو جائے گا اور بہائی مذہب اس کی جگہ لے لے گا۔ حالانکہ آیت کے معنی صاف ہیں کہ اسلام ہزار سال میں آسمان پر چڑھے گا۔ اس کے معنے منسوخ ہونے کے نہیں ہو سکتے۔ کیونکہ منسوخ تو ایک آیت سے ایک منٹ میں ہو جاتا ہے۔ درحقیقت اس آیت میں بتایا گیا ہے کہ ایک ہزار سال تک مسلمان دنیا میں کمزور ہوتے جائیں گے۔ اس کے بعد محمد رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی پیشگوئیوں کے مطابق اسلام کو قائم کرنے والا مامور آجائے گا۔ اور اسلام پھر مضبو طی سے قائم ہو جائے گا۔ چنانچہ اسی سور
The verse refers to a very serious crisis that was destined to come over Islam in its chequered career. Islam was to pass through a period of sustained progress and prosperity during the first three centuries of its life. The Holy Prophet is reported to have pointedly alluded to this fact in his saying: 'The best century is the one in which I live, then the next century, then the century after that '(Tirmidhi & Bukhari, Kitabush-Shahadat). Islam began to decline after the first three centuries of uninterrupted conquests. The process of decline and decay continued in the next thousand years. It is to this period of a thousand years that reference has been made in the words, then will it go up to Him in a day the duration of which is a thousand years. In another of his sayings the Holy Prophet is reported to have said that Faith will ascend to the Pleiades and a man of Persian descent will bring it back to the earth (Bukhari, Kitabut-Tafsir).

Commentary:
As mentioned above the principal theme of the Surah under comment is the progressive expansion and eventual triumph of Islam. In the present verse, however, reference has been made to a very serious crisis that was destined to come over Islam in its chequered career. Islam was to pass through a period of sustained progress and prosperity during the first three centuries of its life. The Holy Prophet is reported to have pointedly alluded to this fact in a well-known saying, viz. خیر القرون قرنی ثم الذین یلونھم الخ i.e. the best century is the one in which I live, then the next century, then the century after that. Then there will spread falsehood at the hands of people who will take pride in their wealth and riches and will grow fat on the earnings of others (Tirmidhi & Bukhari, Kitabush-Shahadat). As foretold in this saying of the Prophet, Islam began to decline after the first three centuries of uninterrupted conquests and growing prosperity, till it suffered a very serious check in about 271 A.H. when its gradual decline set in. The process of decline and decay continued till it reached its nadir in the next one thousand years. It is to this period of a thousand years that reference has been made in the words, then shall it go up to Him in a day the duration of which is a thousand years. In another of his sayings the Holy Prophet is reported to have said that Faith will ascend to the Pleiades and a man of Persian descent, namely the Promised Messiah, will bring it back to the earth (Bukhari, Kitabut-Tafsir). With the appearance of the Promised Messiah in the 14th century A.H., the process of decay has been arrested and a renaissance of Islam has taken place. The indications are, and prophecies in Divine Scriptures and those in the Hadith lend support to the inference, that the present renaissance of Islam will extend over a much longer period and its spiritual conquests will not stop unless they have embraced in their orbit almost the entire globe.

Ar-Ruh meaning human soul, the verse may signify that the development and progress of the human soul will know no end. Or, the verse may mean that Divine plans and programmes take thousands of years to mature. Or, the reference may be to a specific cycle of fifty thousand years in which some particular great change is decreed to take place, because Divine prophecies have their fixed periods, epochs and cycles in which they are fulfilled.
