شَاكِرًۭا لِّأَنْعُمِهِ ۚ ٱجْتَبَىٰهُ وَهَدَىٰهُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍۢ مُّسْتَقِيمٍۢ

[He was] grateful for His favors. Allah chose him and guided him to a straight path.

﴿ٱجۡتَبَىٰهُ﴾: اختاره اللهُ لرسالتِه.

﴿وَهَدَىٰهُ﴾: أرْشَدَه ووَفَّقه.

122

وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةًۭ ۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

And We gave him good in this world, and indeed, in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous.

﴿حَسَنَةࣰ﴾: نِعْمةً حسنةً، كالثَّناءِ الجميلِ عليه إلى يومِ القيامة، والاقتداءِ به.

123

ثُمَّ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ أَنِ ٱتَّبِعْ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ حَنِيفًۭا ۖ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ

Then We revealed to you, [O Muhammad], to follow the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth; and he was not of those who associate with Allah.

﴿مِلَّةَ إِبۡرَ ٰ⁠هِيمَ﴾: شريعتَه، وهي الإسلامُ.

124

إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ ٱلسَّبْتُ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ فِيهِ ۚ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُوا۟ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ

The sabbath was only appointed for those who differed over it. And indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.

﴿جُعِلَ ٱلسَّبۡتُ﴾: فُرِضَ تَعْظِيمُه والتفرُّغُ للعبادةِ فيه.

﴿ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخۡتَلَفُواْ فِيهِ﴾: هم اليهودُ، حيث أمَرَهم نبيُّهم بتعظيمِ يومِ الجُمُعَةِ، فاختاروا السَّبْتَ.

125

ٱدْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِٱلْحِكْمَةِ وَٱلْمَوْعِظَةِ ٱلْحَسَنَةِ ۖ وَجَٰدِلْهُم بِٱلَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ ۖ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ

Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from His way, and He is most knowing of who is [rightly] guided.

﴿بِٱلۡحِكۡمَةِ﴾: بالطريقةِ الحَكِيمةِ وفْقَ شَرْعِ اللهِ.

﴿وَٱلۡمَوۡعِظَةِ ٱلۡحَسَنَةِ﴾: بالتذكيرِ المناسِبِ للأشخاصِ والأحوالِ.

126

وَإِنْ عَاقَبْتُمْ فَعَاقِبُوا۟ بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوقِبْتُم بِهِۦ ۖ وَلَئِن صَبَرْتُمْ لَهُوَ خَيْرٌۭ لِّلصَّٰبِرِينَ

And if you punish [an enemy, O believers], punish with an equivalent of that with which you were harmed. But if you are patient - it is better for those who are patient.

وَٱصْبِرْ وَمَا صَبْرُكَ إِلَّا بِٱللَّهِ ۚ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُ فِى ضَيْقٍۢ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُونَ

And be patient, [O Muhammad], and your patience is not but through Allah. And do not grieve over them and do not be in distress over what they conspire.

﴿ضَيۡقࣲ﴾: حَرَجٍ وغَمٍّ.

Indeed, Allah is with those who fear Him and those who are doers of good.
