In this, part 23, we cover verse 22: You never find a people who truly believe in Allāh and the Last Day loving towards those who oppose Allāh and His Messenger, even if they be their (own) parents, or their children, or their brothers (and sisters), and their clan. Those (are they) in whose hearts Allāh has inscribed faith and has strengthened them with a spirit from Him (which is the source of their spiritual vigor and intellectual enlightenment). And He will admit them into Gardens beneath which rivers flow, therein to abide. Allāh is well-pleased with them, and they are well-pleased with Him. Those are the party of Allāh. Be aware: the party of Allāh are those who are the prosperous.

The Ḥizbullāh - Party of Allāh – Verse 22

The Ones who will Prevail – Verse 21

In this, part 21, we cover verse 20: Surely the ones who oppose Allāh and His Messenger – those will be among the most abased.

The Abased Ones – Verse 20

In this, part 20, we cover verse 19: Satan has subdued them and caused them to forget the remembrance of Allāh. Those are the party of Satan. Be aware: the party of Satan, they are the losers (the self-ruined).

The Alliance of Satan – Verse 19

In this, part 19, we cover verse 18: The Day when Allāh will raise them all from the dead, they will swear to Him as (now) they swear to you. They fancy that they will have some standing (through their oaths). Be aware: they are but liars.

Oaths in Vain - Verse 18

In this, part 18, we cover verse 17: Neither their wealth, nor their children will avail them anything against Allāh. They are companions of the Fire: they will abide therein forever.

Nothing Can Save You – Verse 17

In this, part 17, we cover verse 16: They take their oaths as a covering (to screen their misdeeds and themselves from accusations), and bar (other people) from Allāh’s way. Therefore, there is for them a humiliating punishment.

False Promises - Verse 16

In this, part 16, we cover verse 15: Allāh has prepared for them a severe punishment. Evil indeed is that which they do habitually.

The Punishment - Verse 15

In this, part 15, we cover verse 14: Have you not considered those who take for confidants and guardians people whom Allāh has condemned to punishment? They are neither of you (O believers) nor of the others (whom they take for confidants and guardians). They swear to a lie (that they are of you), while they know (it to be a lie).

Wrath of Allah - Verse 14

In this, part 14, we cover verse 13: Is it that you are afraid of offering something in alms before your consultation (with Prophet Muḥammad)? (If so) and you have not done it, and Allāh has turned to you in forgiveness, then establish the prayer (in conformity with its conditions), and pay the prescribed purifying alms, (the zakāt), and obey Allāh and His Messenger; and Allāh is fully aware of all that you do.

Have No Fear! - Verse 13

In this, part 13, we cover verse 12: O you who believe! When you intend to consult the Messenger in private, then offer something in alms (to him) before your consultation. That is better for you and purer. Yet if you do not find (the means to do so), then Allāh is surely All-Forgiving, All-Compassionate.

Consultative Fees - Verse 12

In this, part 12, we cover verse 11: O you who believe! When you are  told: “Make room in the assemblies (for one another and for new comers)”  do make room. Allāh will make room for you in (His grace and Paradise).  And when you are told: “Rise up (and leave the assembly),” then do rise  up. Allāh will raise (in degree) those of you who truly believe (and  act accordingly), and in degrees those who have been granted the  knowledge (especially of the religious matters). Surely Allāh is fully  aware of all that you do.

Make Space! - Verse 11

In this, part 11, we cover verse 10: Secret counsels (held for other  reasons) are only (a provocation) from Satan, in order that he may cause  grief to the believers; yet he cannot harm them in anything unless by  Allāh’s permission; and in Allāh let the believers put their trust."

Work of the Devil - 11

In this, part 10, we cover verse 9: "O you who believe! If you hold  secret counsels, do not hold secret counsels to commit sins, or for  (urging one another to) offensiveness and disobedience to the Messenger;  but rather hold counsels for Godliness, and righteousness, and piety.  Keep from disobedience to Allāh in reverence for Him and piety, to Whom  you will be gathered."

Good Counsel - 9

In part nine we review verse 8 in which God says: Have you not  considered those who were forbidden to hold secret counsels, and yet  reverted to what they had been forbidden, and held secret meetings to  commit sins (such as drinking alcohol, gambling, and evading the  prayer), and for (urging one another to) offensiveness and disobedience  to the Messenger (in his commands and prohibitions. It is these very  people who) when they come to you, salute you with a salutation that  Allāh has never taught you and with which He has never saluted you, and  they say to one another (in derision): “Why does Allāh not punish us for  what we say (if Muḥammad is truly His Prophet)?” Hell will suffice  them, they will enter it to roast. How evil a destination to arrive at!
