Surah Al Imran, page 53

Updated: Apr 26

Allah says

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا نَصِيبًا مِنَ الْكِتَابِ يُدْعَوْنَ إِلَىٰ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّىٰ فَرِيقٌ مِنْهُمْ وَهُمْ مُعْرِضُونَ23

Have you not see those who were given a share of the Scripture, they will be called to the Book of God to judge between them, then a group of them turns away while they turn away. 23

God Almighty tells about the condition of the People of the Book to whom God has bestowed His Book. They should have been the most knowledgeable of people and the quickest to submit to its rulings, So God told about them that when they were called to the rule of the Book, a group of them turned away while turning away. They turned away with their bodies and turned away with their hearts, and this is the ultimate rebuke.

A view of the verse
We said previously that the word (didn't you see)

Drawing attention, to the vision in the eyes of God - Glory be to Him - each of us has a perspective through which he looks at the life around him according to his experience in life and the experiences he has gone through, when God Almighty says to you (Have you not seen?) And of course we did not see this in ancient history, so raise your ears and eyes to see the whole scene.

They were given a share of the book

they are scientists in any case, They call for the Book of God to judge between them, they have knowledge from this book, and naturally, since they have reached the point of being scholars, then they must rely on what they spent their lives learning, then a group of them takes over while they are facing away: it has several glimpses.

A - He turns his back: meaning he turns his back so as not to put his face to face with the truth, or he assumes a position and is unwilling to resort to God’s judgment in it.

B - Among the greatness of God - the Almighty - is that He does not generalize or demonize anyone, but rather says what actually happened, so there is no addition or subtraction from what is considered a lie in Islam, even if it is merely a detraction from the complete truth or an addition. (A group of them) Not all scholars did this.

Allah says

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لَنْ تَمَسَّنَا النَّارُ إِلَّا أَيَّامًا مَعْدُودَاتٍ ۖ وَغَرَّهُمْ فِي دِينِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ24

That is because they said, “The fire will not touch us, that is because they said, “The fire will not touch us.” Except for a number of days. And they deceived in their religion, they did not invent it.24

The reason that deceived the People of the Book into daring to disobey God was that they fabricated this saying and thought it to be true, so they acted on that and did not refrain from forbidden matters, because their souls were deceived and deceived that their destination would be in Paradise, and they lied about that. This is merely a lie and slander. Rather, their destination is an evil destination, and their end will be a disastrous one.

A view of the verse

That's because they said

We all talk and say things, and whoever wants to say something, we give him space, and then the truth emerges, even after a while, Life is full of gossip, and the Messenger - may God bless him and grant him peace - says about God Almighty that He hates you (gossip)

The fire will only touch us for a few days

These are just statements that are empty of their content, and he dared to say that God Almighty would not do otherwise, and we cannot tolerate a little finger going into hell for a moment. We only ask God for safety.

And what they invented deceived them in their religion

They imagine what will never happen, which is enjoying Paradise after doing what they want and not resorting to God’s law, while they are basically religious scholars.

Allah says

فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جَمَعْنَاهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ وَوُفِّيَتْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ25

So how if We gather them together for a day about which there is no doubt, And every soul will be paid in full what it has earned, and they will not be wronged. 25

That is: How is their condition, and how dire is what they are doing? It is a condition that cannot be described and its ugliness cannot be imagined, because that day is the day when souls will be rewarded for what they have earned, and they will be rewarded with justice, not injustice. It is known that this is according to the level of deeds, and what has preceded from their deeds shows that they are among the most severe people in torment.

A view of the verse

A good question. It needs an answer in your paper, not in the paper of those who support you today. We only ask God for well-being

And every soul paid back what it earned

It is said that earning is permissible - earning legitimate - earning is forbidden, right? And what did you gain? Did you win with your sweat or with the sweat of others? The gain of your hand, your thought, your work, and your going and coming are all its result


(Earning is either lawful or unlawful) Return your gaze to this part of the verse and you will find that you will repay what you have earned, lawful for lawful or unlawful for unlawful.

And they are not wronged

Injustice is here, in this worldly life, and you have a word heard, It is a prestigious place where you carry out your unjust rulings on wronged people. Whereas there, even you would not be unjust and would have been unjust.

Allah says

قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ مَالِكَ الْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِي الْمُلْكَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ وَتَنْزِعُ الْمُلْكَ مِمَّنْ تَشَاءُ وَتُعِزُّ مَنْ تَشَاءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَنْ تَشَاءُ ۖ بِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرُ ۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ26

Say, O God, the Owner of the kingdom. You give kingdom to whomever You wish and take away the kingdom Whomever You want and You honor whomever You want, And You humiliate whom You wish. In Your hand is good. Indeed, You have power over all things. 26


{You give dominion to whomsoever You will, and You take away dominion from whomsoever You wish.} This indicates that God Almighty will take away dominion from the kings, the tsars, and those who followed them, and give it to the nation of Muhammad, and He did, and praise be to God, so the acquisition of dominion and its taking away follows the will of God Almighty.

A view of the verse
Say, O God, the owner of the kingdom

Yes, Lord, O King of the Kingdoms: You give kingdom to whomever you wish and take away kingdom from whomever you wish


Does this resemble favoritism? Far be it from God to favor anyone. We as Muslims are not God’s children, we are slaves and we deserve what happens to us, to be given a king, and by the way, we all own things, and we have a kingdom, even if it is small, inside a home, and we have the right to rule and command in it, to give you, to grant you, to be kind to you and to take it away from others is not your wish, not your pride, not your cleverness, not your idea of deserving, but it is pure grace from God. Why? To see how you will do in this kingdom, whether small or large, even though what is meant in the noble verse is large kingdoms.

And the word "removes"

When do you remove something from something else? When you try to get it out of it easily, it does not come out, so you fight with it hard until you get it out. God takes away the kingdom from whomever He wants. Only God, we ask you for well being.

You exalt whomever you wish and humiliate whomever you wish

I am so-and-so, the son of so-and-so. How can God humiliate me? Just remember what God Almighty said in more than one place:

( سيصيب الذين أجرموا صغار عند الله )

“Those who commit crimes will be struck as little in the sight of God" Are you a criminal? Have you committed a crime against someone? It is not just verbal. Remember that whoever says the word crime is God Almighty, so behave yourself. God exalts whom He wills and humiliates whom He wills, and we only have to think.

In your hand is goodness

Does the one from whom the kingdom is taken away see that God has good in his hand? The Lord of goodness only brings goodness, even if the winds go in a way we do not desire.

     You are able to do anything

No one can dispute the kings over their kingdom and their attachment to it except God. No pressure groups or opposition parties can do what God - Blessed and Most High - does.

Allah says

تُولِجُ اللَّيْلَ فِي النَّهَارِ وَتُولِجُ النَّهَارَ فِي اللَّيْلِ ۖ وَتُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَتُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتَ مِنَ الْحَيِّ ۖ وَتَرْزُقُ مَنْ تَشَاءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

You cause the night to enter the day and You cause the day to enter the night, and you bring the living out of the dead, and You bring out the dead from the living, and You provide for whomsoever You will without reckoning.


What is one of the greatest proofs of God’s power, greatness, wisdom, and mercy {And You bring forth the living from the dead} like a chick from an egg, and like a tree from its seeds, and like a plant from its seed, and like a believer from an unbeliever. This is the greatest evidence of God’s power, and that all things are subservient and mastermind, not able to manage anything, God Almighty created opposites, and the opposite of its opposite is an explanation that they are oppressed. {And You provide for whomsoever You will without reckoning}   That is: You provide whomever You wish with ample sustenance from a source that is neither expected nor earned.

A view of the verse

You cause the night to enter the day and you cause the day to enter the night

To see the signs of God and give them your back as if you did not see them, fear for yourself, for the matter will not go unnoticed, The Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - says at the end of this noble Surah about the other 10 verses of this Surah: (Woe to whoever reads these verses and does not think about God’s creation) Did you think today or yesterday about the night turning into the day so easily and effortlessly that you could barely feel it?

Do you know the value of entering the night not suddenly, but gradually, on your mental health?

Do you know the value of this night on marine creatures? Do you know, do you know, and do you know that God’s visible signs in the universe indicate the existence of a wise God who runs the universe wisely and not randomly, and through trials and errors until the most correct thing for the universe is revealed. Think, for night and day are He from the day He created the universe, and there are no experiments on you and no experiments on animals.

You bring out the living from the dead, and you bring out the dead from the living

We die and live hundreds of times in a single day. I do not say that we die a small death through sleep. No, no. Rather, thousands of living cells die in our bodies and others live, Hairs fall from our heads, others grow, and others grow old in death. By God, we do not have time for anything else to come. We have experienced death over and over again, but we only want to ignore what we cannot love.

You provide for whomever You will without reckoning

Like those who are patient, for those who are patient are fine, as the common people say, and God says about them (Indeed, the patient are given in full without judgment) and God Almighty says in the Holy Hadith, (Whoever is satisfied with my destiny, I will give him as my able to do ) This is God, do not look under your feet today: Are you one of the slaves? Are you one of the immigrants stranded at the border? Are your circumstances preventing you from thinking about God? No, no, don't do it. If he is given, he will be amazed.

Allah says

لَا يَتَّخِذِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِنْ دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۖ وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ فَلَيْسَ مِنَ اللَّهِ فِي شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَنْ تَتَّقُوا مِنْهُمْ تُقَاةً ۗ وَيُحَذِّرُكُمُ اللَّهُ نَفْسَهُ ۗ وَإِلَى اللَّهِ الْمَصِيرُ28

Believers must do not take unbelievers as guardians other than believers, and whoever does that is not from God in anything, unless you pious from them a piety, and God Himself warns you, and to God is the return.28


This is a prohibition from God Almighty to the believers from supporting the unbelievers with love and support and seeking their help in one of the affairs of the Muslims, He has been cut off from God, and has no share in God’s religion, because loyalty to the unbelievers does not combine with faith, whoever supports the unbelievers rather than the believers, who want to extinguish the light of God and tempt His guardians, has left the party of the believers and has become a party of the unbelievers.

A view of the verse
Believers do not take unbelievers as allies instead of believers

This is a prohibition, so stop, O people of understanding. Just a reminder of who is the guardian? Do you remember your childhood days in school? Did the teacher or the school principal tell you not to come tomorrow except with your guardian? for some reason ? The guardian is the one who stands at your back, guides you, and keeps away from you the dangers of life, even if you make a mistake. He does not let you down, does not deceive you, or distances himself from you under any circumstances, when do you take the disbeliever in God as your guardian? When you are left behind like needles from the believers, and despite this, God is attacking you from above the seven heavens.

Whoever does that has nothing to do with God

What is this ? This is God Almighty disavowing you of your guardianship, for God is the Guardian of the believers, so if he abandons your guardianship, and you are satisfied with the guardianship of a disbeliever in Him - Glory be to Him - then you are the loser, like someone who divorces from her husband while abroad and wants to resort to the courts of the country in which she lives, and does not want to resort to God’s law upon divorce, in order to take most of this bereaved husband’s money.

Unless you pious from them with a piety

There are different circumstances, difficulties and lives for each of us, as Jalaluddin Rumi says (If you gave the same medicine to all people, most of them would die) There are tyrannical infidels in that life. Perhaps you are a hidden Muslim, or even a Muslim in all your dealings with the infidels, such as being an ambassador, or something else. So God’s exception is a mercy, just as the difference of scholars is a mercy, God Himself warns you, and to God is the return.

Allah says

قُلْ إِنْ تُخْفُوا مَا فِي صُدُورِكُمْ أَوْ تُبْدُوهُ يَعْلَمْهُ اللَّهُ ۗ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ29

Say, “Hide what is in your breasts, or you show it, God knows it, and He knows what is in the heavens and what is in the earth. And God has power over all things. 29


Then he told about the breadth of His knowledge of what is in souls in particular, and of what is in heaven and earth in general, and about the perfection of His power. It contains guidance for purifying hearts and bringing to mind the knowledge of God at all times, so the servant is ashamed before his Lord to see his heart as a place for every evil thought, rather, he occupies his thoughts with things that bring him closer to God, such as contemplating a verse from the Book, or a Sunnah from the hadiths of the Messenger of God, or imagining and researching knowledge that will benefit him.

A view of the verse
Say whether you hide what is in your chests or reveal it, God knows it

So far, they have known the words that are on your mind before you say them, coinciding with the time of thinking using the FMRI technique, and they are experts in that, and there is an expert in heart feelings, there are experts in every aspect of the human psyche, except for the heart, or rather the chest, where God Almighty says: (And what breasts hide) So what do breasts contain: Are they bones? Is it my ribcage? Is it heart and muscles? Do you write secrets about the ribs? God knows and we do not know, and thank God the scholars still do not know. The idea of hiding a secret inside yourself is not a good idea today. We are just numbers for international and even local intelligence, so what about God Almighty?

And He knows what is in the heavens and what is on earth

He knows who is on Mars now, who is colonizing the moon's colonies, who will go to the planet Venus soon, and who is on the earth and who is in it and who is on it, a vast, great science that can accommodate everyone at one level. Do not say scientific robots, for they are limited by the amount of information that you have stored in.

And Allah is all-power on everything

What does this have to do with what was missed from the noble verse?

So that your knowledge, talent, and strength do not become higher and you imagine that you are a god besides Him - Glory be to Him - and God is superior and knows best.
