📖 Translation (English Meaning)

📖 English Meaning

And do not send away those who call upon their Lord morning and afternoon, seeking His countenance. Not upon you is anything of their account and not upon them is anything of your account. So were you to send them away, you would [then] be of the wrongdoers.

Translation — Tafsir

Word Meanings:

Tatrud (تَطْرُد): To drive away, expel, or repel someone harshly.
Bil-ghadati wal-‘ashiyy (بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيّ): In the morning and the evening — meaning at all times, continuously.
Yurīdūna wajhah (يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ): They seek His Face — meaning they sincerely desire Allah’s pleasure alone, with no worldly motive.
Ḥisāb (حِسَاب): Account, reckoning, or judgment of deeds.
Ẓālimīn (الظَّالِمِينَ): Those who transgress beyond the limits set by Allah, placing things in the wrong place.

Tafsir (Explanation):

O Prophet, do not drive away from your gathering the poor and weak believers — those who call upon their Lord in the early morning and the late evening, worshipping Him constantly and sincerely, seeking only His noble Face and His pleasure. These are the people of true faith, whose hearts are attached to Allah, not to the fleeting gains of this world.

You have no responsibility for their deeds or their sustenance; their account is with Allah alone, and they have no responsibility for your account either. Their faith and sincerity are between them and their Lord. So do not push them away in order to please the wealthy or the leaders of the disbelievers, hoping they might embrace Islam. If you were to drive these sincere believers away, you would become among those who wrong themselves and others — those who cross the boundaries Allah has set, placing things in the wrong position.

This verse was revealed when some of the powerful Quraysh leaders expressed their disdain for sitting with the poor Muslims, and they asked the Prophet to distance them. Allah, in His infinite wisdom, defended the honor of the humble believers and made it clear that true nobility lies not in wealth or status, but in sincere faith and devotion to Allah.

A Call to Reflection:

How beautiful is this divine instruction! It teaches us that no human being — however poor, weak, or socially insignificant — is ever worthless in the sight of Allah. The measure of a person is their heart, their sincerity, and their devotion to their Creator. This verse is a timeless lesson for all of us: never look down upon the humble believers, never distance yourself from them for the sake of worldly gain, and never let social status blind you to the true value of faith. The companions of the Prophet ﷺ who were poor — like Bilal, Ammar, and Suhayb — were among the most beloved to Allah and His Messenger. Indeed, Allah honors those who honor Him, and He raises the humble while humbling the proud. Let us love the believers for Allah’s sake, sit with the righteous, and never trade the company of the sincere for the fleeting favors of this world. For on the Day of Judgment, it is not wealth or lineage that will save us, but a heart devoted to Allah and a life lived in obedience to Him.

📜 Verse 50-54 — Al-An'am

50قُل لَّا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ عِندِي خَزَائِنُ اللَّهِ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ وَلَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنِّي مَلَكٌ ۖ إِنْ أَتَّبِعُ إِلَّا مَا يُوحَىٰ إِلَيَّ ۚ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الْأَعْمَىٰ وَالْبَصِيرُ ۚ أَفَلَا تَتَفَكَّرُونَ

Say, [O Muhammad], "I do not tell you that I have the depositories [containing the provision] of Allah or that I know the unseen, nor do I tell you that I am an angel. I only follow what is revealed to me." Say, "Is the blind equivalent to the seeing? Then will you not give thought?"

51وَأَنذِرْ بِهِ الَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ أَن يُحْشَرُوا إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ ۙ لَيْسَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِ وَلِيٌّ وَلَا شَفِيعٌ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ

And warn by the Qur'an those who fear that they will be gathered before their Lord - for them besides Him will be no protector and no intercessor - that they might become righteous.

52وَلَا تَطْرُدِ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُم بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ ۖ مَا عَلَيْكَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِم مِّن شَيْءٍ وَمَا مِنْ حِسَابِكَ عَلَيْهِم مِّن شَيْءٍ فَتَطْرُدَهُمْ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ

53وَكَذَٰلِكَ فَتَنَّا بَعْضَهُم بِبَعْضٍ لِّيَقُولُوا أَهَٰؤُلَاءِ مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّن بَيْنِنَا ۗ أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِالشَّاكِرِينَ

And thus We have tried some of them through others that the disbelievers might say, "Is it these whom Allah has favored among us?" Is not Allah most knowing of those who are grateful?

54وَإِذَا جَاءَكَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِآيَاتِنَا فَقُلْ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ كَتَبَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِ الرَّحْمَةَ ۖ أَنَّهُ مَنْ عَمِلَ مِنكُمْ سُوءًا بِجَهَالَةٍ ثُمَّ تَابَ مِن بَعْدِهِ وَأَصْلَحَ فَأَنَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

And when those come to you who believe in Our verses, say, "Peace be upon you. Your Lord has decreed upon Himself mercy: that any of you who does wrong out of ignorance and then repents after that and corrects himself - indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful."
