Tafheem-ul-Quran - Abul Ala Maududi translation for Surah Ya-Sin — Ayah 3

36:3
إِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ ٣
you are truly among the Messengers,1
Footnotes
  • [1] To begin a discourse like this does not mean that the Prophet (peace be upon him), God forbid, had some doubt about his Prophethood, and Allah had to say this in order to reassure him of it. But the reason is that the disbelieving Quraish at that time were most vehemently refusing to believe in his Prophethood. Therefore, Allah at the very beginning of the discourse has said: You are indeed one of the Messengers, which implies that the people who deny your Prophethood are misled and mistaken. To further confirm the same, an oath has been taken by the Quran and the word “wise” has been used as an epithet of the Quran, which means this: An obvious proof of your being a Prophet is this Quran, which is full of wisdom. This itself testifies that the person who is presenting such wise revelations is most surely a Messenger of God. No man has the power to compose such revelations. The people who know Muhammad (peace be upon him) can never be involved in the misunderstanding that he is himself forging these discourses, or reciting them after having learned them from another man. For further explanation, see(Surah Yunus, Ayats 16-17, 37-39); (Surah Bani-Israil, Ayat 88);(Surah An-Naml, Ayat 75);(Surah Al-Qasas, Ayats 44-46, 85-87);(Surah Al-Ankabut, Ayats 49-51); (Surah Ar-Rum, Ayats 1-5) and the relevant E.Ns.
