Surah Al-Baqara: page 19

وَلَن تَرۡضَىٰ عَنكَ ٱلۡيَهُودُ وَلَا ٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمۡۗ قُلۡ إِنَّ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ هُوَ ٱلۡهُدَىٰۗ وَلَئِنِ ٱتَّبَعۡتَ أَهۡوَآءَهُم بَعۡدَ ٱلَّذِي جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِ مَا لَكَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِيّٖ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ (120)

And neither the Jews nor the Christians will be satisfied with you until you follow their faith, say that the guidance of Allah is the guidance, and if you follow their desires after that which has come to you from the knowledge, you have no guardian or helper from God (120)

The Almighty informs His Messenger that neither the Jews nor the Christians are satisfied with him except by following their religion, because they are callers to the religion that they follow, and they claim that it is the guidance, so tell them, “The guidance of God” with which I was sent “is the guidance.” as for what you are upon, it is the desire, as evidenced by His saying, “And if you follow their desires after the knowledge that has come to you, you will have no right from God.”

A look at the verse

1- Satisfaction: When do you say to your son - for example: I am satisfied with you, mostly you say it to him: When he does not discuss anything with you and follows your orders without argument, does this mean that you do not love his brothers? Yes, you love them, but contentment, for this child only, so the approval of the Jews and Christians is not a goal for Muslims, so whether they are satisfied or not satisfied with Muslims so that Muslims follow their religion does not mean anything in the dictionary of Muslims.


2 - Who seeks to please the Jews and Christians? You can deal with them like (Tell people good) but not in order to reach their satisfaction with you.

ٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ يَتۡلُونَهُۥ حَقَّ تِلَاوَتِهِۦٓ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦۗ وَمَن يَكۡفُرۡ بِهِۦ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡخَٰسِرُونَ (121)

Those to whom We have given the Book, they recite it as it should be recited, those believe in it, and whoever disbelieves in it, they are the losers (121)

The meaning

Those to whom We have given the Book, O Muhammad, from among the people of the Torah, who believe in you and in what you have brought them of the truth from Me, they follow My Book, to whom We have given the Book, O Muhammad, from among the people of the Torah who believe in you, and with what I came to them of the truth from me, they follow my book that I sent down to my messenger Moses, may God’s prayers be upon him, so they believe in it, and they acknowledge what is in it of your description, and that you are My Messenger, it is obligatory for them to obey me in believing in you and believing in what I have brought them from me, and doing what I have made permissible for them, and avoiding what I have forbidden them in, and not altering it from its proper places,


A look at the verse

What counts is the generality of the wording, not the sincerity of the reason, so the people of the book used to recite the book with the correct recitation of the rulings that govern the recitation, and Allah’s praise for them (those who believe in it) is an indication that whoever reads the Qur’an without its intonation rulings is as if he does not believe in the right of the Qur’an to us, and God is Most High and Knowing.


يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱذۡكُرُواْ نِعۡمَتِيَ ٱلَّتِيٓ أَنۡعَمۡتُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَأَنِّي فَضَّلۡتُكُمۡ عَلَى ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ (122)

O children of Israel, remember my favor which I bestowed upon you, and that I preferred you over the worlds (122)

This verse is a sermon from God Almighty

His remembrance of the Jews who were among the emigrants of the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and a reminder from him to them of what he had done before them in his making of their first ones, as an encouragement from him to them on his religion, and to confirm his Messenger Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, so he said: O Children of Israel, remember my hands with you, my actions with you, and my rescue of you from the hands of your enemy, Pharaoh and his people, after you were humiliated and oppressed, and my specialty is the messengers among you, and I preferred you over the world of whom I was between its backs.

وَٱتَّقُواْ يَوۡمٗا لَّا تَجۡزِي نَفۡسٌ عَن نَّفۡسٖ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَا يُقۡبَلُ مِنۡهَا عَدۡلٞ وَلَا تَنفَعُهَا شَفَٰعَةٞ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنصَرُونَ (123)

And fear the Day when no soul will defend about a soul something, and no justice is accepted from it, neither intercession will avail them, nor will they be helped (123)

This verse is an intimidation from God, may He be glorified, to those whom His admonition preceded, with what He preached to them in the verse before it. God says to them: and beware, O people of Bani Israel, those who altered my Book and my Revelation, who distorted its interpretation from its face, those who deny My Messenger Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, is the punishment of a day when no soul will fulfill anything for another, nor will it avail itself of anything, that you perish on what you are upon of your disbelief in me, and your disbelief in my Messenger, so die on it, for it is a day when no soul will be accepted for what it owes a ransom.


۞وَإِذِ ٱبۡتَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِـۧمَ رَبُّهُۥ بِكَلِمَٰتٖ فَأَتَمَّهُنَّۖ قَالَ إِنِّي جَاعِلُكَ لِلنَّاسِ إِمَامٗاۖ قَالَ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِيۖ قَالَ لَا يَنَالُ عَهۡدِي ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ (124)

۞ And when the Lord tested ٓ Abraham with His words, then He fulfilled them, He said, “I am making you an imam for the people.” He said, and from my offspring, He said, “My covenant will not reach the wrongdoers.”(124)


The trials of Ibrahim - peace be upon him -

Some of them said

It is the laws of Islam, which is thirty shares

On the authority of Ibn Abbas said

Islam is thirty shares, and no one was afflicted with this religion and established it except Ibrahim.

Others said

They are the ten characteristics of the Sunnahs of Islam. Ibn Abi Jaafar told us, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Matar, on the authority of Abi Al-Khaled, he said that Abraham was afflicted with ten things, and they are in man: Sunnah: sniffing, trimming the moustache, using the siwak, plucking the armpits, clipping the nails, washing the knuckles, and circumcision. And shaving the pubes, and washing the anus and vulva

Some of them said

Rather, the "words" that afflict them are ten through; Some of them are in the purification of the body, and some of them in the rituals of Hajj.

Others said

I am making you an imam for the people, in the rites of worship.

A look at the verse
How adversity makes you stronger

When faced with a crisis, it can be difficult at the moment to imagine that the experience will eventually lead to some kind of growth. Resilience is a person's ability to bounce back from adversity and grow from challenge, and research is now showing that past adversities can help you persevere in the face of current stresses. Mark Seery and his colleagues studied a group of more than 2,300 people, by asking them to report their lifetime experience with a list of adverse events grouped into seven categories. What they found was that people who experienced a moderate level of adversity reported improved mental health and well-being and increased life satisfaction over time compared to both groups reporting a long history of adversity and those without a history of adversity. Past struggles can help you become more resilient in the following five ways:


Increase empathy


It can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder


They build self-efficacy


They help you find the good


They help you reframe stress as a challenge

From this previous scientific context we conclude the following

1- If you want to move from your place of residence to another place, of course, do not hire children to move the furniture for you to the new house, but rather hire strong men, and this strength and this severity that they carry did not come from a vacuum, but rather came from the abundance of carrying luggage, and here we understand that God - the Almighty - wanted Abraham - peace be upon him - to be equal to earthly immortality (the fragrant biography) for those who come after him by long centuries and until the Day of Resurrection, we greet him - peace be upon him - at least 5 times a day in greetings, and he mentions the days of Hajj with his son and wife.

Know that today's wounds are tomorrow's glories, and you may be proud of them among your grandchildren one day.


2 - Imamate in the world called a leader is possible for anyone with passion, work and diligence, but the Imamate in religion is not by diligence, but rather it is thrown on some without effort that needs only two things (Patience with trials and success in them + certainty in God that these trials are from God first, and as it is said, my certainty is in God, is secure me ) and thus you attain the leadership in the religion. God is higher, and more knowledgeable.

وَإِذۡ جَعَلۡنَا ٱلۡبَيۡتَ مَثَابَةٗ لِّلنَّاسِ وَأَمۡنٗا وَٱتَّخِذُواْ مِن مَّقَامِ إِبۡرَٰهِـۧمَ مُصَلّٗىۖ وَعَهِدۡنَآ إِلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِـۧمَ وَإِسۡمَٰعِيلَ أَن طَهِّرَا بَيۡتِيَ لِلطَّآئِفِينَ وَٱلۡعَٰكِفِينَ وَٱلرُّكَّعِ ٱلسُّجُودِ (125)

And when We made the house return to it, for the people and safe, and take a place of prayer from the station of Ibraheem,and we entrusted Abraham and Ismael to purify My House for those who circumlated around it, and those who bow down prostration (125)
