2:42, 92, 98, 102; 3:82; 4:48; 35:32; 46:13.
The verse signifies that Jews used to disclose to the pagan Arabs the fact that there were prophecies in their Scriptures about the advent of a Prophet who would spread the truth all over the world (Deut. 18: 18 & 28: 1-2). But when that Prophet actually appeared, even those of them who had seen the Signs of God being fulfilled in his person turned away from him. Or the meaning may be that before the advent of the Holy Prophet the Jews used to pray fervently to God to raise a Prophet who should cause the true Faith to triumph over false Faiths (Hisham, i. 150). But when the Prophet for whom they had prayed actually came and the ascendancy of truth over falsehood became manifest, they refused to accept him; consequently bringing on their heads the curse of God.

2:147.
Important Words:
یستفتحون (they prayed for victory) is derived from فتح meaning (1) he opened a thing, or he disclosed a thing; (2) he conquered or gained victory over. The word یستفتحون would, therefore, have two meanings: (1) they disclose; and (2) they ask or pray for victory (Aqrab).
Commentary:
According to the first meaning of یستفتحون the verse would signify that Jews used to disclose to the pagan Arabs the fact that there was foretold in their Scriptures the appearance of a Prophet who would spread the truth all over the world. But when that Prophet actually appeared, even those of them who had seen the signs of God fulfilled in his person turned away from him.
Taking the second meaning of the word, the verse would signify that before the advent of the Holy Prophet, the Jews used to pray fervently to God to raise a Prophet who would cause the true faith to triumph over the false ones (Hisham, i. 150). But when the Prophet for whom they prayed actually came and the ascendancy of truth over falsehood became manifest, they refused to accept him. This naturally brought on their heads the curse of God.
It may be repeated here that the word "curse" is not used in the Quran as abuse but as indicative of the actual state or condition of a person or a people. As explained under the preceding verse, the literal meaning of the word لعنة is "to be driven away from God" and hence all who stand in opposition to God and His Prophets incur لعنة and are spoken of as being under the curse of God; i.e. driven away from God’s presence and deprived of His mercy.

فَلَوْلَآ إِذْ جَآءَهُم بَأْسُنَا تَضَرَّعُوا۟ وَلَٰكِن قَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

Commentary:
The words لولا (why not) are here used not to express mere interrogation, but also to express feelings of pity. Thus the verse signifies, "They ought to have humbled themselves before God; but it is a pity that they did not."
The afflictions were really a mercy from God, but, instead of turning to God, the people became hard-hearted. When misfortunes befell them, they ascribed them not to their own iniquities but to the Prophets.
The words, all that they did, refer to the hostile activities of disbelievers.

The reason, why even confirmed atheists have sometimes been found to cry to God for help when punishment overtakes them, is that at such a dreadful time realization comes to man not only of his own utter helplessness but also of the might and power of a Higher Being.

أَفَلَمْ يَدَّبَّرُوا۟ ٱلْقَوْلَ أَمْ جَآءَهُم مَّا لَمْ يَأْتِ ءَابَآءَهُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Important Words:
ام (or) possesses a variety of meanings, some of which are the following:
It is a conjunction connected with what precedes it so that neither what precedes it nor what follows it is independent, the one of the other. It denotes interrogation or is used in a case of interrogation corresponding to the interrogative أ and meaning ای. They say أزید فی الدار ام عمرو i.e. is Zaid in the house or ‘Amr i.e. which of the two (ایھما), therefore what follows امand what precedes it compose one sentence and what follows it must correspond to what precedes it in the quality of noun and of verb. They say أ أنذرتھم ام لم تنذرھم i.e. whether thou warn them or warn them not (2:7). أ زید قائم ام قائد means, is Zaid standing or sitting? It is also used as simple interrogative in the sense of ھل as in ام کنتم شھداء i.e. were you present? (2:134)
Commentary:
The verse means to say, why do not disbelievers understand this simple thing that the Holy Prophet’s Message is no new thing. It is the same Message which from time immemorial the Prophets of God have been bringing in the world, the selfsame message which was given to the forefathers of these people.

Commentary:
This verse continues the theme of the preceding one and embodies a repudiation of the foolish charge of disbelievers that the Holy Prophet has been smitten with insanity, and mentions also the cause and reason for their denial of him. It throws a challenge to them by saying that there could possibly be no insanity or madness about the Holy Prophet inasmuch as maniacs have never produced such wonderful results as he has done. He has changed the whole face of Arabia. Nor have the teachings of madmen or impostors offered such satisfactory solutions of all the difficult human moral, social and economic problems as the Quran has done. The verse gives the reason for the disbelievers’ rejection of the Message of Islam in the words that they hate the truth, meaning thereby that they know that by accepting it they will have to undergo untold hardships and privations and to suffer loss of power, prestige and property. This they by no means are prepared to do.

Their beginning is so humble and their circumstances so poor that their prophecies about the great and bright future of their followers appear only to be wild talk to their people, exciting laughter and inviting jokes and jeers from them.

This attitude of disbelievers towards Divine Messengers has been referred to at several other places also in the Quran (7:64; 10:3; 38:5).

وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ
Important Words:
مزدجر (warning) is derived from ازدجر which means, he chid repelled, drove, spurned, checked him. They say ازدجرہ عن کذا i.e. he prevented or hindered him from doing so by cry or harsh speech. مزدجر means, prevention, prohibition; threatening; something by which one is prevented, forbidden from doing a certain thing—a warning (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
The verse purports to say that the pagan Arabs must have learnt from the accounts of disbelievers of the Prophets of yore that rejection of Truth does not pay. They should have taken a lesson from their evil end and should have abstained from following in their footsteps.

关于伊撒对辩护人即安慰者亦即真理的精神的预言, 见 «圣经» 约翰12:13; 14:16—17; 15:26; 16:7, 由此可以清楚地推断出以下的结论:--------(a) 辩护人--------安慰者、真理的精神--------要等到伊撒去世之后才能出现; (b) 他永远留在人间;他打算说的很多事情是伊撒自己没法说的, 因为当时大家没法接受; (c) 他将引导人们得到所有的真理; (d) 他不会谈自己的, 但凡是他听到的, 他都会说; (e) 他将赞美伊撒(耶稣)并证实他的真理。这样描写辩护人--------安慰者、真理的精神--------像
«古兰经» 中的记载一样, 与穆圣的地位和使命完全一致。伊撒 (耶稣) 去世后才出现穆圣;他是最后一个立法先知, «古兰经»是全人类世世代代的最后启示的天经 (5:4)。他不从私欲发言, “这 (他所讲的话) 只是安拉下降的 (纯洁) 启示” (53:4)。他赞美伊撒 (耶稣) (2:254; 3:56)。«约翰福音» 中的预言与加注的这节经文中所提到的预言十分相像, 只是不用这儿提到的阿哈默德这个名字, 而用 “辩护人”。基督教作者怀疑 «古兰经» 上解说这个预言的正确性, 争论的基础是这两个名字的不同, 却不顾 «圣经»和 «古兰经»其他相同的地方。事实上耶稣既会阿拉米语也会希伯来语。阿拉米语是他的母语, 希伯来语是他的宗教语。现在的
«圣经» 是由阿拉米语和希伯来语译成的希腊语的译本。翻译当然不能充分传达原文的美。语言有其局限。用这种语言的人亦然。他们的局限性反映在他们的作品中。希腊语中还有一个名字叫做 Periklutos, 意思相似于阿拉伯语的 اَحْمَد (Ahmad, 阿哈默德)。著名基督教宗教学家贾克•范根 (Jack Finegan), 在他的 “The Archaeology of World Religions” 一书中说: “在希腊语中 Parakletos (安慰者) 这个字和 Periklutos (著名的) 很相似, 后者就是名词 اَحْمَد (Ahmad, 阿哈默德) 和 مُحَمَّد (Muhammad, 穆罕默德) 的意思。” 还有, 接近19世纪末在旧开罗的以斯拉犹太教之会堂中发现了经文 “The Damascus Document” (P.2), 里面说到伊撒 (耶稣) 曾预言一个名叫 Emeth 的 “圣灵”: “他借着他的迈喜合使他们知道他的圣灵。因为这个人就是 Emeth, 即真实的一位, 与他的名字相一致的还有他们的名字……” 在希伯来语中 “Emeth” 的意思是 “真理”, 或 “真实的一位, 一个永远善良的人”。(Strachan’s Fourth Gospel, p.141) 这个字犹太人译作 “安拉的玺”。自然地, 即使伊撒一定用过 阿哈默德这个名字, 但是这两个字 (阿哈默德和Emeth) 语音相似, 使后来作者们用 “Emeth” 取代了它的希伯来语的同义词阿哈默德。因此这节经文中提到的预言可以用于穆圣, 可是作为必然的结果, 也可以用于 اَحْمَدِيَّة (Ahmadiyyah) 创始人受约的迈喜合, 因为他在真主启示 بَرَاهِيْن اَحْمَدِيَّة (Barahin Ahmadiyyah) 中也称作阿哈默德, 还因为穆圣的第二次显现或第二次来临的预言在他身上实现了。主麻 (الجُمُعَة, Al-Jumu‘ah) 章第三节经文显然是指穆圣的第二次显现或来临。可以顺便提一句, 有关穆圣的预言也在被基督教会教派当作伪经的《巴拿巴福音》 (Barnabas), 这一福音中作了清楚的叙述。但还是可以像 «四福音书» 一样, 被认为是真的而加以承认。

For the prophecy of Jesus about the coming of Paraclete or the Comforter or the Spirit of Truth see John, 12:13; 14:16, 17; 15:26; 16:7, from which the following inferences are clearly deducible:—
(a) Paraclete or the Comforter or the Spirit of Truth could not come unless Jesus should have departed from the world. (b) He was to abide in the world for ever; and was to say many things which Jesus himself could not say because the world could not then bear them. (c) He would guide men unto all truth. (d) He would not speak of himself but whatever he would hear that would he speak. (e) He would glorify Jesus and testify to his truth. This description of Paraclete or the Comforter or the Spirit of Truth is in complete harmony with the status and mission of the Holy Prophet as given in the Qur’an. The Holy Prophet appeared after Jesus had departed from this world; he was the last Law-giving Prophet and the Qur’an the last revealed Divine Law for the whole of mankind till the end of time (5:4).

Important Words:
أحمد (Ahmad) is derived from حمد and حمدہ means, he praised, eulogised or commended him; spoke well of him; he requited him; he gave him his due. أحمد (Ahmada) means, he did or said that for which he should be praised or which was praiseworthy. أحمد الشیء means, the thing was or became praiseworthy. أحمد means, one who praises much or who is praised much or most (Lane & Taj).
Commentary:
The prophecy of Jesus about the coming of Paraclete or the Comforter or the Spirit of Truth as given in the Gospels is as follows:
I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever. Even the Spirit of Truth whom the world cannot receive because it sees him not, neither knoweth him… but when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of Truth which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me… for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you, but if I depart, I will send him unto you… I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when the Spirit of Truth is come, he will guide you unto all truth, for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak, and he will show you things to come… He shall glorify me (John 14: 16-17. 15: 26; 16: 7, 12-14).
From these verses of the Gospel of John the following inferences are clearly deducible:
(1) That Paraclete or the Comforter or the Spirit of Truth could not come unless Jesus should have departed from the world.
(2) That the Comforter was to abide in the world for ever.
(3) That he was to say many things which Jesus himself could not tell because the world could not then bear them.
(4) That he would guide men unto all truth.
(5) That he would not speak of himself, but whatever he would hear that would he speak.
(6) That the Comforter would glorify Jesus and testify of him.
This description of Paraclete or the Comforter or the Spirit of Truth is in complete harmony with the status and mission of the Holy Prophet as given in the Quran:
(1) The Holy Prophet appeared after Jesus had departed from this world.
(2) He is the last Law-giving Prophet and the Quran the last revealed Divine Law for the whole of mankind till the end of time (5:4).
(3) Jesus could not guide mankind to all truth because his Message was meant only for a particular people and for a particular period. And the Law as amended and given to the Jews by him was not and could not be a complete and perfect Law because they had not yet mentally and morally so developed as to be the bearers of a complete Shari‘ah and the world had to wait till it was given a perfect Law in the form of the Quran (5:4) and a Prophet par excellence i.e. the Holy Prophet who could guide all mankind.
(4) The Holy Prophet gave to the world a Law complete in all its details which alone could guide mankind unto all truth (5:4).
(5) The Holy Prophet did not speak of himself but whatever he heard from God that did he speak (53:4).
(6) The Holy Prophet glorified Jesus (2:254; 3:56).
The prophecy in the Gospel of John resembles the prophecy mentioned in the verse under comment except that instead of Ahmad the name stated therein is Paraclete. Christian writers challenge the correctness of the Quranic version of the prophecy, basing their contention on this difference of names, irrespective of the otherwise similar features of Biblical & Quranic versions.
In fact, Jesus spoke Aramaic and Hebrew. Aramaic was his mother tongue and Hebrew his religious language. The present Biblical version is the translation of Aramaic and Hebrew into Greek.
A translation naturally cannot fully convey the beauty of the text. Languages have their limitations. The same is true of the people who speak them. Their limitations are reflected in their works. The Greek language has another word, i.e.Periklutos, with a similar meaning as Ahmad in Arabic. Jack Finegan, the renowned theologian, in his book, "The Archaeology of World Religions," says:
"Where in Greek the word Comforter (Parakletos) is very similar to the word for 'renowned' (Periklutos), the latter being the meaning of the names Ahmad & Muhammad."
Moreover, "The Damascus Document" a scripture discovered towards the end of the nineteenth century in Ezra synagogue, Old Cairo (p. 2. lines 12, 13) describes Jesus as having foretold the advent of a "Holy Spirit," named Emeth.
ویود یعیم بید مشیحو روح قد شو و ھوا ایمة و بفروش
شمو شمو تیھم
i.e. And by His Messiah, He has made them know His Holy Spirit. For it is He who is Emeth i.e. “The Truthful One”, and in accordance with His name are also theirs.
"Emeth" in Hebrew means "the Truth," or "the Truthful one and a person of constant goodness" (Strachan’s Fourth Gospel, page 141). The word was interpreted by the Jews as "God’s Seal." Naturally, though Jesus must have used the name Ahmad, the phonetic resemblance of the two words (Ahmad & Emeth) caused later writers to substitute "Emeth"for Ahmad, its Hebrew synonym.
Thus the prophecy mentioned in the verse under comment applies to the Holy Prophet, but as a corollary it may also apply to the Promised Messiah, Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement, since in his person the Second Manifestation of the Holy Prophet took place. To this Second Manifestation or Second Coming of the Holy Prophet, the third verse of the next Surah—Al-Jumu‘ah pointedly refers.
It may be mentioned here that a prophecy about the Holy Prophet is also clearly stated in Gospel of Barnabas which is treated by the Church as apocryphal but which has as much claim to be accepted as authentic as any of the four Gospels.

关于伊撒对辩护人即安慰者亦即真理的精神的预言, 见 «圣经» 约翰12:13; 14:16—17; 15:26; 16:7, 由此可以清楚地推断出以下的结论:--------(a) 辩护人--------安慰者、真理的精神--------要等到伊撒去世之后才能出现; (b) 他永远留在人间;他打算说的很多事情是伊撒自己没法说的, 因为当时大家没法接受; (c) 他将引导人们得到所有的真理; (d) 他不会谈自己的, 但凡是他听到的, 他都会说; (e) 他将赞美伊撒(耶稣)并证实他的真理。这样描写辩护人--------安慰者、真理的精神--------像
