[Taubah 9:112] Those who repent, those who worship, those who praise, those who fast, those who bow, those who prostrate, those who show right and forbid wrong and those who keep the limits of Allah in sight; and give glad tidings to the Muslims. [Taubah 9:113] It does not befit the Prophet and those who believe, to pray for the forgiveness of polytheists even if they may be their relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are the people of hell. [Taubah 9:114] And the seeking of forgiveness for his father (paternal uncle) by Ibrahim was only because of a promise he had made to him; then when it became clear to him that he was an enemy of Allah, Ibrahim broke off ties with him; indeed Ibrahim is surely very soft-hearted, most forbearing. [Taubah 9:115] And it does not befit Allah’s Majesty to send a nation astray after He has guided them until He has made clear to them what they should avoid; indeed Allah knows everything. [Taubah 9:116] Indeed for Allah only is the kingship of the heavens and the earth; He gives life and He gives death; and other than Allah, you have neither a Protector nor any Supporter. [Taubah 9:117] Indeed Allah’s mercy inclined towards the
Herald of the Hidden, and the Muhajirs and the Ansar who stood by him in
the time of hardship, after it was likely that the hearts of a group among
them would turn away - He then inclined towards them with mercy; indeed
He is Most Compassionate, Most Merciful upon them. |
