So if you are in doubt, [O Muhammad], about that which We have revealed to you, then ask those who have been reading the Scripture before you. The truth has certainly come to you from your Lord, so never be among the doubters.
Tafsir
Verse range: 10:94
In the third verse (94), the address is obviously to the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) . But, it goes without saying that there is no probability of his doubting the revelation. Therefore, the purpose is to beam the mes¬sage to the Muslim community through this address where he is not the intended recipient. Then, it is also possible that this address may be to human beings at large asking them if they had any doubts about the Divine revelation sent to them through Sayyidna Muhammad al-Mustafa (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) . If they had, let them ask those who recited the Torah and Injil before them. They would tell them that all past proph¬ets and their Books have been announcing the glad tidings of the Last among Prophets. This will remove their scruples and suspicions.
According to Tafsir Mazhari, this verse tells us that anyone in doubt about some religious matter is duty-bound to have his doubts removed by asking genuine ` Ulama' (religious scholars whose learning, honesty and adherence to Qur'an, and Sunnah is well recognized, pop¬ularly referred to as ` Ulama' al-Haqq). To continue nursing such doubts is not a good thing to do.
