DAY 552: Nisa 80-91

• DAY 552: Nisa 80-91

  •  Whoever obeys the Messenger has truly obeyed Allah. But whoever turns away, then ˹know that˺ We have not sent you ˹O Prophet˺ as a keeper over them. And they say, “We obey,” but when they leave you, a group of them would spend the night contradicting what they said. Allah records all their schemes. So turn away from them, and put your trust in Allah. And Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs. Do they not then reflect on the Quran? Had it been from anyone other than Allah, they would have certainly found in it many inconsistencies. And when they hear news of security or fear,¹ they publicize it. Had they referred it to the Messenger or their authorities, those with sound judgment among them would have validated it. Had it not been for Allah’s grace and mercy, you would have followed Satan—except for a few. So fight in the cause of Allah ˹O Prophet˺. You are accountable for none but yourself. And motivate the believers ˹to fight˺, so perhaps Allah will curb the disbelievers’ might. And Allah is far superior in might and in punishment. Whoever intercedes for a good cause will have a share in the reward, and whoever intercedes for an evil cause will have a share in the burden. And Allah is Watchful over all things. And when you are greeted, respond with a better greeting or at least similarly. Surely Allah is a ˹vigilant˺ Reckoner of all things. Allah, there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. He will certainly gather ˹all of˺ you together on the Day of Judgment—about which there is no doubt. And whose word is more truthful than Allah’s? Why are you ˹believers˺ divided into two groups regarding the hypocrites while Allah allowed them to regress ˹to disbelief˺ because of their misdeeds? Do you wish to guide those left by Allah to stray? And whoever Allah leaves to stray, you will never find for them a way. They wish you would disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so you may all be alike. So do not take them as allies unless they emigrate in the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and do not take any of them as allies or helpers, except those who are allies of a people you are bound with in a treaty or those wholeheartedly opposed to fighting either you or their own people. If Allah had willed, He would have empowered them to fight you. So if they refrain from fighting you and offer you peace, then Allah does not permit you to harm them. You will find others who wish to be safe from you and their own people. Yet they cannot resist the temptation ˹of disbelief or hostility˺. If they do not keep away, offer you peace, or refrain from attacking you, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them. We have given you full permission over such people.

    80    Obeying the Prophet is obeying God    Obedience is non-negotiable; forcing isn't your job
    81    Hypocrites plot at night; God records it    Don't stress over their schemes—God sees everything
    82    Reflect on the Quran—it has no contradictions    The Quran's consistency is proof of divine origin
    83    Don't spread unverified news; refer to authorities    Verify before sharing—especially in times of crisis
    84    Fight and encourage others; you're only responsible for yourself    Do your part; don't stress over others' choices
    85    Good intercession gives you reward; bad intercession shares the burden    Your influence matters—use it wisely
    86    Respond to a greeting with a better one or at least match it    Kindness and generosity in speech are rewarded
    87    There's no god but Allah; the resurrection is certain    The truth is simple and undeniable
    88    Don't dispute over hypocrites—God has already judged them    Stop wasting energy trying to fix the unfixable
    89    Hypocrites want you to disbelieve; don't ally with them until they emigrate    Sincerity is tested through action, not just words
    90    Don't fight those who have treaties, are neutral, or offer peace    Peace is preferred; aggression is only against active enemies
    91    Double agents who stir discord—if they don't withdraw, deal with them    Vigilance against threats is necessary in wartime
    
    Obedience to the Prophet is obedience to God; don't spread rumors, verify information before acting; fight for the truth but only against active enemies, not against those who offer peace or are neutral; and know that God is sufficient for you against all plots and schemes.
