Surah Al-Baqarah: page (17)

۞مَا نَنسَخۡ مِنۡ ءَايَةٍ أَوۡ نُنسِهَا نَأۡتِ بِخَيۡرٖ مِّنۡهَآ أَوۡ مِثۡلِهَآۗ أَلَمۡ تَعۡلَمۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٌ (106)

۞We do not abrogate a verse or forget it but bring something better than it or the like of it.

“We did not abrogate a verse or make it forget,” that is: We made the servants forget it, so we removed it from their hearts, “We bring something better than it” and is more beneficial to you, “or the like thereof

Hasan al-Basri used to say

There was something in the Qur'an that was abrogated while you were reading it.

On the authority of Ibn Masoud's companions

We prove its line

أَلَمۡ تَعۡلَمۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِيّٖ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ (107)

Did you not know that God has the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and you have no protector or helper less than God (107)

And whoever contemplates what happened in the Qur’an and Sunnah of abrogation, he will come to know by that the wisdom of God and His mercy towards his servants, and his connection to their interests, in a way that they do not feel His kindness, if someone says to us: did the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, not know that God has power over all things and that He has the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, until he was told that?

A Views of the verse

1 - Didn't you know: a type of discourse = an attention bell, that is, if you did not know, or if you knew and walked in your life without taking into account this knowledge ... here pay attention.

2- Every person has ownership and possession, even if he has vacant land, he surrounds it with a wall and writes his name on it, or at least the heirs of so-and-so, why? So that no one else can claim that he is the owner of this land and possesses it, is not it? And God has the highest ideal: God - the Exalted - in His final book to the earth must declare possession of ownership - if the expression is correct - because He knows that there are those who will claim divinity at the end of time, therefore, it is necessary to declare his ownership - Glory be to Him - and that it is not the property of (the nature of the earth) as some Westerners say.

3 - Then a strange comment at the end of the verse: What do you have besides God, a guardian who stands behind your back like your guardian in school, and no one helps you, from what? If you doubt him, if you take an earthly deity, if you feel that belief in Him - Glory be to Him - It does not represent you, if you say that Mother Nature is the one who created you and created everything around you.

أَمۡ تُرِيدُونَ أَن تَسۡـَٔلُواْ رَسُولَكُمۡ كَمَا سُئِلَ مُوسَىٰ مِن قَبۡلُۗ وَمَن يَتَبَدَّلِ ٱلۡكُفۡرَ بِٱلۡإِيمَٰنِ فَقَدۡ ضَلَّ سَوَآءَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ (108)

Do you want to ask your Messenger as Moses was asked before? And whoever exchanges unbelief for faith has strayed astray (108)

The Interpretation of the verse

Do you want, O people, to ask your Messenger for things similar to what the people of Musa asked before you? so be blasphemous if you withhold from Him in your request that which, in the wisdom of God, is not permissible to be given to you.


Just as those who were before you were among the nations who have asked their prophets, what they did not have, and when they was given, then they was disbelife, So they was hastened to be punished for their disbelief, after God had given them what they asked for.


وَدَّ كَثِيرٞ مِّنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَوۡ يَرُدُّونَكُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ إِيمَٰنِكُمۡ كُفَّارًا حَسَدٗا مِّنۡ عِندِ أَنفُسِهِم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلۡحَقُّۖ فَٱعۡفُواْ وَٱصۡفَحُواْ حَتَّىٰ يَأۡتِيَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَمۡرِهِۦٓۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ (109)

Many of the People of the Book with warm-hearted they could turn you back from your faith into infidels, out of envy from themselves, after the truth has been made clear to them, so pardoned and forgave them until God brings His command. Verily, God has power over all things (109)


Then he told about the envy of many of the People of the Book and that they had reached the situation, that they wanted to turn you back into disbelief after your belief and they expanded on that, and they worked intrigues, and their plan is back on them,

On the authority of Ibn Abbas said

envy

The saying in the interpretation of what the Almighty said: {out of envy}. Exalted is His praise by His saying: {out of envy from themselves} that many of the People of the Book wish for the believers to apostate from their religion out of transgression and envy.

ِA Views of the verse

1 - We agreed that Warm - hearted - is the greatest kind of love. Some of the People of the Book wanted us to abandon our religion (Islam), why? Envy, so what do you say about Muslims who envy each other for religiosity? It happens in spite of what God Almighty says - in another place (And those who came after them say, "Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith,and do not place in our hearts rancor against those who believe, our Lord. Indeed, You are Kind, Merciful (10)

2 - there is an indication in the verse that God - the Almighty - in His words does not generalize, but rather speaks of some people or some of the People of the Book who do that and not all of the People of the Book.

وَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُواْ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَۚ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُواْ لِأَنفُسِكُم مِّنۡ خَيۡرٖ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ بَصِيرٞ (110)

And establish prayer and pay the zakat, and whatever good you put forward for yourselves, you will find it with God, Indeed, Allah is Seeing of what you do (110)

{And establish prayer and pay the zakat}

Abu Jaafar said: In the past, we indicated the meaning of establishing the prayer, and that it is performing it with its limits and obligations.

{And whatever good you put forward for yourselves, you will find it with God.}

And good: is the work that pleases God. Rather, he said: {You will find it} and the meaning: You will find its reward. Then God commanded them to occupy themselves in the present time, by establishing prayer, paying zakat and doing all acts of worship.

A Views of the verse

1 - Why does God - the Almighty - often say (establishing prayer) in the first long surah that was revealed in Medina? God knows best, but we previously agreed that prayer is a connection between the servant and his Lord, the relationship requires dialogue and speech, so do not connect with your relatives without speaking, and do not communicate with your children or your wife without speaking, and the words of God Almighty in prayer are the beginning of dialogue, and the establishment of prayer is soliloquy, without your rationality in prayer, what you say while you are conscious is that you have no prayer, validating the words of the Messenger: On the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, he said: “A man will leave his prayer and only half of it will be written for him except a third of it, except for a quarter of it, except for a fifth of it, except for a sixth of it, until he said: Except for a tenth of it

and Ibn Abbas said

 (You have nothing of your prayer except what you make sane in it), in the West a great principle called (be present) in the thing you do, they even tell you if you are displaced to go back to the first point you were displaced from, and repeat it again, unil you get used to being present. How often do we pray without counting the number of rak’ahs? how many times do we pray without feeling that we greet the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - in the tashahhud? How often do we greet the angels right and left without feeling their response to us? this is part of establishing the prayer, that we perform it within ourselves, not on the prayer rug.


2- Paying zakat: how often my Lord mentions zakat: and zakat in its linguistic meaning is purification, it purifies your money from any unlawful money, which may be included in unlawful money in a usurious way or another that we do not feel, and our purification of money is a purification for our food and drink so that we are not (any body that has grown from unlawful things, for Hell is more appropriate for it) and it is purified from miserliness. So what is called the dinar: Dinar, except because it is a phrase (religion and fire), and the Messenger of God said about charity that it is proof, proof of what? Evidence of faith, for there is no faith without spending, even a little.


3- The premises always precede the results, so what you put today in your equation is what you will find tomorrow in the result of your work paper, so any work, small or large, (Do not belittle anything of what is good) and what is known: it is what the people of righteousness have come to know in a society, so any favor that you do to any living being is an introduction that you will find tomorrow as an immediate result, as soon as you reach the Hereafter, and God is Most High and Knowing.


وَقَالُواْ لَن يَدۡخُلَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مَن كَانَ هُودًا أَوۡ نَصَٰرَىٰۗ تِلۡكَ أَمَانِيُّهُمۡۗ قُلۡ هَاتُواْ بُرۡهَٰنَكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ (111)

And they said, "None will enter Paradise except who is a Jew or a Christian, those are their wishes. Say, “Bring your proof if you are truthful.” (111)

On the authority of Saeed bin Jubair or Ikrimah, on the authority of Ibn Abbas, he said

When the Christians of Najran came to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, Jewish rabbis came to them, and they quarreled with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, Rafi bin Huraymila said: You do not believe in anything, and he disbelieved in Jesus, son of Mary, and in the Bible, A Christian man from the people of Najran said: you are not upon anything, denying the prophethood of Moses and disbelieving in the Torah. So God, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed in this regard what they said: and the Jews said the Christians are not about anything, and the Christians said the Jews are not about anything to his saying: In what they used to differ, and God only told about them what they said to the believers, as a notification from Him to them that each group of them has lost the judgment of the Book, which shows recognition of its validity and that it is from God, and their denial with that, what God revealed about it from its obligations, because the Bible, whose authenticity and truth the Christians believe, fulfills what is in the Torah of the prophecy of Moses, peace be upon him, and what God imposed on the children of Israel in it.

And he meant the resurrection

The resurrection of creation from their graves to their Lord, so the meaning of the Day of Resurrection: the day the creatures will rise from their graves to gather them.



بَلَىٰۚ مَنۡ أَسۡلَمَ وَجۡهَهُۥ لِلَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحۡسِنٞ فَلَهُۥٓ أَجۡرُهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦ وَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ (112)

Yes, whoever surrenders his face to God and is a benefactor, he will have his reward with his Lord, and there is no fear upon them, nor will they be sad(12)

Not with your aspirations and supplications, but “he who submits his face to God” means: he is sincere to God in his deeds, turning to Him with his heart, and he is “with his sincerity” a benefactor in worshiping his Lord.

“He shall have his reward with his Lord,” which is Paradise, with all the blessings it contains.

And that is because the people of the Book have reached desire and envy, to the point that some of them misled each other, and some of them disbelieved, as did the illiterate among the Arab polytheists and others, each group leads the other astray, and God judges in the Hereafter between those who disagree with His justice, which He informed His servants of, for there is no victory or salvation except for those who believe all the prophets and messengers, and comply with the commands of his Lord, and avoid His prohibitions, and whoever opposes them is doomed.

A views of the verse

1- The truth is not the claim of each of the Jews or Christians that Paradise is for them alone (those who believed among them at the time of His sent Prophet), but what came in this verse that is in our hands is more important to consider.


2 - One of the strangest things is that God - the Almighty - does not speak of the body and the external image except in a negative way - and it is what people are flocking to - all of them and they give it great appreciation, He - Glory be to Him - when reckoning says to you (except for those who come to God with a sound heart) and when the world and its orientations He says to you as stated in this verse, (He who surrenders his face to God) and it carries several meanings, perhaps including:


1 - Sincerity belongs to God alone, who has no partner.

The face represents identity. If I wear a mask that hides your facial features, suppose it is made of silicone, will someone easily identify you? Of course it is impossible, and as if we are with God - the Almighty - faces and hearts, nothing more.


Sharia pays a great greeting to the face, so the Messenger - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - says (on the authority of Ibn Omar who said: The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “Do not disgrace the faces, for the son of Adam was created in the image of the Merciful", So it is forbidden to hit the face on a slave or his woman slave or even your son whom you rearing him.

3- (And he is a Muhsin.) Ihsaan is perfecting the workmanship that you have in your hands, even if this workmanship is sincerity to God Almighty - so you improve it as if God is looking at you, so, not only sincerity, but charity, because God loves the benefactors.


4 - There is no fear of an unknown future and no sorrow for what has been lost... These are the elite of entering Paradise, and they are not the ones who claim what they claim.
