Translation — Tafsir

Word Meanings:

Nuwalli (نُوَلِّي): We appoint, assign, or give authority/dominion over.
Al-Zalimeen (الظَّالِمِينَ): The wrongdoers, oppressors, and those who transgress against Allah's commands.
Bi-ma kanu yaksibun (بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ): Because of what they used to earn — i.e., their sins, disbelief, and evil deeds.

Explanation of the Verse:

Just as Allah gave the rebellious jinn power over some people to mislead them, He likewise appoints wrongdoers from among humans to have authority over one another. This means that oppressors are made to dominate other oppressors — one tyrant is given power over another, one sinner is placed under the influence of another sinner who pushes him further toward evil, discourages him from good, and makes righteousness seem unattractive to him. This is not random or unjust; rather, it is a direct consequence of their own actions. Their sins, disobedience, and persistence in wrongdoing become the very reason they are handed over to one another. It is a form of divine justice — those who choose to follow evil are left to be influenced by evil people, and those who oppress others are subjected to oppression themselves. This is a natural and just recompense for what they have earned through their own choices.

A Da'wah Reflection:

This verse carries a profound lesson for every believer. It teaches us that our actions have consequences — not only in the Hereafter but also in this very life. When a society or an individual persists in wrongdoing, Allah may leave them to be ruled or influenced by those who are even worse. This is both a warning and an invitation: if you see corruption around you, examine your own deeds. The path to safety and honor lies in righteousness, repentance, and turning back to Allah. No oppressor remains in power forever, and no wrongdoer escapes the justice of Allah. But the door of mercy is always open — whoever abandons oppression and seeks Allah's forgiveness will find that Allah replaces their hardship with ease, and their humiliation with honor. Let this verse motivate you to be among those who enjoin good, forbid evil, and strive for justice — for Allah is with the doers of good, and He never lets the reward of the righteous be lost.

📜 Verse 127-131 — Al-An'am

127۞ لَهُمْ دَارُ السَّلَامِ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ ۖ وَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُم بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

For them will be the Home of Peace with their Lord. And He will be their protecting friend because of what they used to do.

128وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعًا يَا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ قَدِ اسْتَكْثَرْتُم مِّنَ الْإِنسِ ۖ وَقَالَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُم مِّنَ الْإِنسِ رَبَّنَا اسْتَمْتَعَ بَعْضُنَا بِبَعْضٍ وَبَلَغْنَا أَجَلَنَا الَّذِي أَجَّلْتَ لَنَا ۚ قَالَ النَّارُ مَثْوَاكُمْ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ

And [mention, O Muhammad], the Day when He will gather them together [and say], "O company of jinn, you have [misled] many of mankind." And their allies among mankind will say, "Our Lord, some of us made use of others, and we have [now] reached our term, which you appointed for us." He will say, "The Fire is your residence, wherein you will abide eternally, except for what Allah wills. Indeed, your Lord is Wise and Knowing."

129وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُوَلِّي بَعْضَ الظَّالِمِينَ بَعْضًا بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ

And thus will We make some of the wrongdoers allies of others for what they used to earn.

130يَا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنكُمْ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ آيَاتِي وَيُنذِرُونَكُمْ لِقَاءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هَٰذَا ۚ قَالُوا شَهِدْنَا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِنَا ۖ وَغَرَّتْهُمُ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا وَشَهِدُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا كَافِرِينَ

"O company of jinn and mankind, did there not come to you messengers from among you, relating to you My verses and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say, "We bear witness against ourselves"; and the worldly life had deluded them, and they will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers.

131ذَٰلِكَ أَن لَّمْ يَكُن رَّبُّكَ مُهْلِكَ الْقُرَىٰ بِظُلْمٍ وَأَهْلُهَا غَافِلُونَ

That is because your Lord would not destroy the cities for wrongdoing while their people were unaware.
