In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari
Surah Al-Mumtahana
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
O you who have believed, do not take my enemy and your enemy as allies
You treat them with affection
And they have multiplied what has come to you of the truth
They bring out the messenger
And beware of believing in God, your Lord
If you went out to wage jihad
You seek My path and seek My pleasure
You extend your affection to them
I know what you have hidden and what you have declared
And who among you does it?
He has lost the right path
O you who have believed, do not take my enemies from among the polytheists and your enemies as allies
It means supporters
Receive your affection to them
These polytheists, whom I forbade you to take as allies, have disbelieved in the truth that has come to you from God
This is their disbelief in God and His Messenger
And His book which He revealed to His Messenger
They expel the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
They will also expel you from your homes and your land
Because you believed in God
It is from the latter, which means submission
And the face of the speech
O you who have believed, do not take my enemy and your enemy as allies
You greet them with affection, even though they have disbelieved in the truth that has come to you
If you left your homes
So you emigrated from it to your emigrants to wage jihad in the path that I prescribed for you
And follow what I commanded you to do and seek My pleasure
They will bring out the Messenger, and you should not believe in God, your Lord
O believers, you are pleased with affection for the polytheists of God
I know better than you what some of you hide from others
So he captured him from him
I also know from you what you declared to one another
And who among you extends affection to the polytheists, O believers
He deliberately crossed the path that God had made a path to Paradise and a pilgrimage to it
If they educate you, they will be your enemies and extend their hands to you
Their tongues speak evil, and they wish you would disbelieve
Neither your relatives nor your children will benefit you
On the Day of Resurrection, He will judge between you, and God will see what you do
If those to whom you, O believers, cherish affection, educate you
They will be your war and enemies
They extend their hands to you with war and their tongues with evil
They wished for you to disbelieve in your Lord
So be like what they are
Do not invite you, your relatives, your relatives, or your children, to disbelief in God
And taking his enemies as allies, treating them with affection
For neither your relatives nor your children will benefit you before God on the Day of Resurrection
Then the punishment of God will be warded off from you on that day
If you disobeyed him in this world and disbelieved in him
O believers, your Lord will decide between you on the Day of Resurrection
That those who obey him will enter Paradise, and those who disobey him and disbelieve in him will enter Hell
God has knowledge and insight into your deeds, O people
Nothing is hidden from him, and he encompasses all of it
And He will reward you for it, if it is good or good
If evil, evil
So fear God within yourselves and beware of Him
Since you had a good example in Abraham and those with him
When they said to their people, “We are free from you.”
And from what you worship besides God, we disbelieve in you
Enmity and hatred appeared between us and you forever
Until you believe in God alone
Except what Abraham said to his father
I will ask forgiveness from you
And I do not possess anything for you from God
Our Lord, we trust in You, and to You we turn, and to You is the final destination
He has been a good example for you, O believers
He says a good role model is Ibrahim Khalil Rahman
You will imitate him and those who are with him among the saints of God
When they said to their people who disbelieved in God and worshiped the tyrant
O people, we are free from you
Among those whom you worship besides God are gods and equals
We disbelieved in you
We denied your disbelief in God
We denied that your worship, that which you worship besides God, was true
Enmity and hatred appeared between us and you forever
For your disbelief in God and your worship of anything other than Him
There will be no reconciliation or affection between us until you believe in God alone
So they united him and separated him in worship
Except in Abraham’s saying to his father, “I will ask forgiveness for you.”
And I will not ward off any punishment from God for you
God punished you for your disbelief in Him
And I can't do anything for you
For there is no example for you in this
Because that was from Abraham to his father regarding a promise he made to him
Before it becomes clear to him that he is the enemy of God
When it became clear to him that he was an enemy of God, he disowned him
Our Lord, we trust in You
And here we return with repentance from what you hate to what you love and are satisfied with
And here is our destiny and our return on the day you raise us from our graves
And we will be gathered in the Resurrection to the position of display
O our Lord, do not make us a trial for those who disbelieve in You
They denied your oneness and worshiped others
By having them rule over us, they will see that they are right and that we are wrong
Thus, you will make us a temptation for them
Cover our sins by forgiving us, O Lord
You are the one who takes revenge on those who took revenge on him
The wise man is in his management of his creation
And spend it on them for their benefit
You have set in them a good example for whoever hopes in God and the Last Day
And whoever turns his back, then God is the Rich, the Praiseworthy
You, O believers, had a good example in Abraham and those who were the prophets with him
For those of you who hope for God’s reward and salvation on the Last Day
And whoever turns away from what God has commanded him to do and allies with the enemies of God
He showered them with affection
God is the One who does not need his faith in Him
Praiseworthy among the people of knowledge for his hands and loyalty
