messengers (rusul) (rusulan, substitutes for the previous rusulan, 'messengers (rusul)') bearing good tidings, of reward for those that believe, and warning, of punishment for those that disbelieve; We sent them, so that people might have no argument, to make, against Allahu ta’ālā after, the sending of, the messengers (rusul), to them, and say: Our Rabb, why did you not send a Messenger (rasūl) to us so that we might follow Your verses and be among the believers [Q. 28:47]; thus We sent them to pre-empt such excuses. Allahu ta’ālā is ever Mighty, in His dominion, Wise, in His actions.
