26. Anyone who shows love for the way of life of the Prophets and at the same time maintains friendship with the infidels, should remember that the religion of Allah Almighty has no need of him.
27. Reason for its Revelation
When the above verses were revealed, the Noble Companions intensified their enmity for their kinsmen who were still infidels. At that point in time, this verse was revealed in which they are being informed that very soon, these infidels would be accepting faith to become your brothers and would he rendering tremendous service to Islam. Allah Almighty fulfilled this promise of His After the conquest of Makkah all infidel Quraish accepted Islam and famous Quraish leaders like Abu Sufyaan, Suhail bn Armir. Hakeem ibn Haram had rendered praiseworthy service to Islam.
7. And who does more wrong than the one who invents a lie against Allah, while he is being invited to Islam And Allah guides not the people who are wrongdoers. 8. They intend to put out the Light of Allah with their mouths. But Allah will bring His Light to perfection even though the disbelievers hate (it). 9. He it is Who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to make it victorious over all religions even though idolators hate (it).
Allah said,
(And who does more wrong than the one who invents a lie against Allah, while he is being invited to Islam) meaning, none is more unjust than he who lies about Allah and calls upon rivals and associates partners with Him, even while he is being invited to Tawhid and sincerely worshipping Him. This is why Allah said,
(And Allah guides not the people who are wrongdoers.) Allah said,
(They intend to put out the Light of Allah with their mouths.) indicating that the disbelievers will try to contradict the truth with falsehood. Their attempts are similar to one’s attempt to extinguish the sun with his mouth, which is impossible. Likewise is the case of their attempt to extinguish truth. So Allah said,
(But Allah will bring His Light to perfection even though the disbelievers hate (it). He it is Who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to make it victorious over all (other) religions even though the idolators hate (it).) We explained the meanings of similar Ayat before, in the Tafsir of Surah Bara’ah. All praise and thanks are due to Allah.
(60:7) It may well be that Allah will implant love between you and those with whom you have had enmity.[11] Allah is Most Powerful; and Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Compassionate.
11. Although the true believers were following the exhortation to sever their connections with the unbelieving kinsmen patiently, yet Allah knew how hard it was to break off one’s connections with his parents, brothers and sisters and near relations. Therefore, Allah consoled them with the hope that a time would soon come when their same relations would become Muslims and their today’s enmity would again change into love tomorrow. When this thing was said no one could understand how this would happen. But hardly a few weeks had passed after the revelation of these verses when Makkah fell and the people of Quraish began to enter Islam in large numbers, and the Muslims witnessed with their own eyes how the hope they were given materialized.
[1674]- To accomplish this or whatever He should will.
