Section 491 of 556 • 8 Verses
مَآ أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَمَن يُؤْمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ يَهْدِ قَلْبَهُۥ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ
30:17; 78:29; 4:79.
30:17; 78:29; 4:79.
God governs the universe according to certain laws. When man contravenes any of those laws he involves himself in trouble. But as God is the Creator of all natural laws and man’s affliction is due to the contravention of one or other of these laws, or to one of God’s special decrees, the trouble may be said to have emanated from Him, or to have come into being by His leave.

وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ ۚ فَإِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَىٰ رَسُولِنَا ٱلْبَلَٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ

Commentary:
The best way to avoid being involved in miseries and misfortunes is to obey Allah and His Messenger—the laws of the Shari‘ah and divine natural laws, because man’s troubles, as mentioned in the preceding Surah, stem from the contravention of these laws.

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّ مِنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُمْ وَأَوْلَٰدِكُمْ عَدُوًّا لَّكُمْ فَٱحْذَرُوهُمْ ۚ وَإِن تَعْفُوا۟ وَتَصْفَحُوا۟ وَتَغْفِرُوا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
عَفْو۔ صَفْح اور مَغْفِرَۃ بظاہر ہم معنے لفظ ہیں۔ لیکن درحقیقت ان کے معنوں میں فرق ہے۔ عَفْو ایسے معاف کرنے کو کہتے ہیں جس میں دل سے معاف کیا جائے اور صَفْحٌ اس معاف کرنے کو کہتے ہیں جس میں سزا دینے سے گریز کیا جائے اور غُفْرَان ایسی معافی کو کہتے ہیں جس میں گنہگار کے گناہ کا بھی لوگوں سے ذکر نہ کیا جائے اور اس طرح گناہ کی بالکل پردہ پوشی کر دی جائے۔
Commentary:
Whereas in the previous verses emphasis was laid on obedience to Allah and His Messenger, the present verse draws attention to the necessity of guarding against some of the things that militate against that obedience—our love for our near and dear ones. If we allow them to stand in the way of our loyalty to God and submission to Divine laws, they become our enemies whom we should specially guard against.

Commentary:
In the preceding verse believers were told that their wealth and their children would put their mettle to test, whether they would help in promoting the cause of Truth or would prove an impediment or hindrance. In the verse under comment they are told that they should obey all the commandments of the Shari‘ah, particularly they should not be hesitant when they are called upon to make monetary sacrifice for the advancement of a good cause. Only that way lies success and prosperity.

Spending one’s wealth in the cause of Truth is tantamount to giving a loan to the Bountiful and Appreciating God which He pays back manifold.
