Transliteration:( Famahhilil kaafireena amhilhum ruwaidaa )
🔹 This verse instructed patience in the early years of Islam:
✅ No Immediate Battle – For 14 years after the advent of Islam, no battle was declared against the infidels.
✅ Only Verbal Explanation – The focus remained on preaching and explaining the truth instead of physical conflict.
✅ Later Abrogation – This command was later replaced by the verse of Jihad (holy war) when the time for defensive battles came.
🔹 (اللَّهُ) Allah's plan unfolds gradually, ensuring that the truth prevails at the right time.
