And for others from among them who have not yet joined them; and He is the Exalted, the Wise.
It is told in this verse that the Lord’s Book and the last Messenger Muhammad are not only for the illiterate Arabs during the period of the Messenger, but are also for all the illiterates in the case of the Arabic language who will take birth after him. In all periods, most of those with the Messenger were illiterates. It is told in verses 83: 34 and 36 that Arabic Qur’an Reading Fujjar are the Kuffar; and in verse 15: 44 it is told that each group among them is destined for any of the seven doors of Hell; and in verses 25: 17-18 it is told that the Fujjar who have forgotten Adhikr have become a worthless people. It is told in verse 6: 26 that by forbidding themselves from Adhikr and not giving It to others for utilizing, they are not ruining except themselves, but they perceive it not; and in verses 6: 89-90 it is told that if these Fujjar people are hiding Dhikra—Adhikr—the Lord will entrust It to other people who won’t hide It.
As explained in verses 3: 7-10, since there is no group of believers anywhere in the world after 30 years from the departure of Messenger Muhammad, if other people belonging to the Messenger’s community believe in Allah as the single Deity and believe in the Day of Judgment, and do good deeds, there shall be no fear upon them, and they won't be grieved, as explained in verse 2: 62. See explanation 2: 284; 7: 146-147; 48: 6; and 98: 6.
Those who are not educated more, especially those who are illiterate in the case of the Arabic language among the people of the Messenger’s community such as Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, Christians, etc., if they are reading Adhikr, which is made very easy to understand, by praying with the soul: “Oh, Lord! Increase for me the Knowledge,” as commanded in verse 20: 114, they can easily grasp It. See explanation 2: 255; 38: 8; and 54: 17.
