Transliteration:( Wa mimman khalaqnaaa ummatuny yahdoona bilhaqqi wa bihee ya'diloon )
And among those whom We have created, a group guides with the truth and dispenses justice accordingly [416].
This verse refers to a select group among creation—those who hold firmly to truth and actively guide others with justice. From this, three key principles are understood:
Divine Will Preserves the Truthful: If Allah Almighty so wills, He ensures that the truthful group remains established on Earth, regardless of trials or the rise of falsehood.
Consensus Validates the Truth: When people of truth are unanimous on a judgment or decision, it becomes a recognized beacon of correctness. Their unity is a sign of divine support and spiritual legitimacy.
The Misguided Cannot Harm the Guided: Those who are astray will never succeed in harming the people of truth—if Allah wills. As affirmed in Hadith, even in challenging times, the guided will remain safe from lasting corruption by the misguided.
181. And of those whom We have created, there is a community who guides (others) with the truth, and establishes justice therewith.) Allah said,
(And of those whom We have created), in reference to some nations,
(a community), that stands in truth, in words and action,
(who guides (others) with the truth), they proclaim it and call to it,
(and establishes justice therewith), adhere to it themselves and judge by it. It was reported that this Ayah refers to the Ummah of Muhammad . In the Two Sahihs, it is recorded that Mu`awiyah bin Abi Sufyan said that the Messenger of Allah said,
(There will always be a group of my Ummah who are apparent on the Truth, unabated by those who fail or oppose them, until the (Last) Hour commences.) rIn another narration, the Messenger said,
(Until Allah’s command (the Last Hour) comes while they are still like this. ) and in yet another narration,
(And they will dwell in Ash-Sham (Greater Syria).)
(7:181) And of those whom We have created there is a party who guide men through the truth and act justly according to it.
