اور ہم نے انہیں امام بنا دیا جو ہدایت دیتے تھے ہمارے حکم سے اور ہم نے ان ؑ کی طرف وحی کی نیک کام کرنے نماز قائم کرنے اور زکوٰۃ ادا کرنے کی اور وہ سب کے سب ہماری بندگی کرنے والے تھے

Commentary

آیت 73 وَجَعَلْنٰہُمْ اَءِمَّۃً یَّہْدُوْنَ بِاَمْرِنَا ”یعنی لوگوں کی راہنمائی اور راہبری کرتے تھے۔وَکَانُوْا لَنَا عٰبِدِیْنَ ”یہاں آپ کو کچھ انبیاء کا تذکرہ اور ان کے اوصاف پر مشتمل آیات کا گلدستہ دیکھنے کو ملے گا۔ اس ضمن میں یہ بھی مد نظر رہے کہ اس سورة میں تمام ابنیاء کا ذکر انباء الرسل کی بجائے قصص النبیینّ کے انداز میں ہوا ہے۔
