[Pooya/Ali Commentary 94:7] Through verse 7 the Holy Prophet is asked to establish imamah or wilayah of Ali ibn abi Talib when he completes the duties of conveying the divine guidance to mankind, so as to continue it forever as stated in the commentary of verse 51 of Qasas; also refer to the commentary of verses 2 and 3 of this surah and other references mentioned therein. In verse 67 of Ma-idah Allah reminds the Holy Prophet: "Deliver what has been sent down to you from your Lord"; which in fact refers to this verse. Refer to the commentary of Ali Imran: 52 and 53; Ma-idah: 67 and 3 to understand the true interpretation of this verse. Aqa Mahdi Puya says: In the light of the meanings of surah ad Duha and al Inshirah no other translation or interpretation of verse 7 seems appropriate except "So when you have completed (the duties of your ministry), then establish (your successorship)." In this early Makkan surah, after referring to the weighty task of conveying the last guidance from Allah to mankind, the Holy Prophet is asked to keep in mind the equally important task of establishing the institution of keeping alive the purity of the divine guidance (Islam) in all ages which will have to be carried out at the time and place chosen by Allah. The equally weighty or important task is the establishment, continuation and perpetuation of the guidance of Allah (see commentary of Qasas: 51, by nominating and appointing his successor who shall act as a guardian and exponent of all that he has conveyed and preached. In al Ma-idah, last revealed surah, verse 67 was revealed in the closing days of his ministry, after execution of which its verse 3 was revealed (see commentary of both verses). After completing the tasks of preaching and establishing his successorship he is given the option to return to his Lord with satisfaction of having fulfilled the divine command. In verse 8 Allah expresses His will that the Holy Prophet should return to his Lord after carrying out His commands. There is no mention of death. He is advised to desire, wish or incline (raghb) to turn to Allah at his own choice and pleasure. Departure from this world was a willing return.
