Translation — Tafsir

Word Meanings:

Uswah (أُسْوَةٌ): A model, example, or pattern to be followed.
Hasanah (حَسَنَةٌ): Excellent, beautiful, and praiseworthy.
Yarjū (يَرْجُو): Hopes for, desires, and anticipates with sincere expectation.
Yatawalla (يَتَوَلَّ): Turns away, abandons, or rejects.
Al-Ghaniyy (الْغَنِيُّ): The Self-Sufficient, free of all needs.
Al-Hamīd (الْحَمِيدُ): The Praiseworthy, worthy of all praise.

Tafsir (Explanation):

O believers, this verse reaffirms the magnificent example set by Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham, peace be upon him) and the faithful believers who stood with him. Their stance—declaring disavowal of disbelief and idolatry, while placing complete trust in Allah alone—is a timeless model of courage, loyalty, and unwavering faith. This exemplary conduct is presented to you as a guiding light, but it is specifically for those who sincerely hope for Allah’s mercy, reward, and forgiveness in this life and the Hereafter. Such people are the ones who truly benefit from following this noble path, because their hearts are alive with the desire to please their Lord and attain His Paradise.

However, the verse also carries a gentle but firm warning: whoever turns away from this guidance, abandons the path of the prophets, or allies himself with the enemies of Allah, should know that his defiance harms no one but himself. Allah is Al-Ghaniyy—utterly free of any need for our worship or obedience. He does not gain anything from our faith, nor does He lose anything from our disbelief. And He is Al-Hamīd—praiseworthy in His essence, His names, His attributes, and His actions, regardless of whether humanity acknowledges Him or not. His majesty remains perfect, and His glory is eternal. The disbelief of a disbeliever and the hypocrisy of a hypocrite diminish nothing from His dominion.

This verse is a call to every Muslim heart: draw strength from the legacy of Ibrahim, who stood alone against a world of falsehood yet remained steadfast. Let his example inspire you to prioritize Allah’s pleasure over the approval of people, and to hold firm to your principles even when surrounded by opposition. For the one who places his hope in Allah and the Last Day will find that Allah never abandons those who sincerely seek Him. And if some choose to turn away, let it not sadden you—for Allah’s richness is absolute, and His praise is sung by all of creation, whether humans join in or not. So be among those who follow the best example, and you will find in Allah the most generous of rewards and the most merciful of guardians.

📜 Verse 4-8 — Al-Mumtahanah

4قَدْ كَانَتْ لَكُمْ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ فِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ إِذْ قَالُوا لِقَوْمِهِمْ إِنَّا بُرَآءُ مِنكُمْ وَمِمَّا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ كَفَرْنَا بِكُمْ وَبَدَا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمُ الْعَدَاوَةُ وَالْبَغْضَاءُ أَبَدًا حَتَّىٰ تُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ إِلَّا قَوْلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ لَأَسْتَغْفِرَنَّ لَكَ وَمَا أَمْلِكُ لَكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِن شَيْءٍ ۖ رَّبَّنَا عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْنَا وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ

There has already been for you an excellent pattern in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people, "Indeed, we are disassociated from you and from whatever you worship other than Allah. We have denied you, and there has appeared between us and you animosity and hatred forever until you believe in Allah alone" except for the saying of Abraham to his father, "I will surely ask forgiveness for you, but I have not [power to do] for you anything against Allah. Our Lord, upon You we have relied, and to You we have returned, and to You is the destination.

5رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا رَبَّنَا ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

Our Lord, make us not [objects of] torment for the disbelievers and forgive us, our Lord. Indeed, it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise."

6لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِيهِمْ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَمِيدُ

There has certainly been for you in them an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day. And whoever turns away - then indeed, Allah is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy.

7۞ عَسَى اللَّهُ أَن يَجْعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ الَّذِينَ عَادَيْتُم مِّنْهُم مَّوَدَّةً ۚ وَاللَّهُ قَدِيرٌ ۚ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Perhaps Allah will put, between you and those to whom you have been enemies among them, affection. And Allah is competent, and Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

8لَّا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ أَن تَبَرُّوهُمْ وَتُقْسِطُوا إِلَيْهِمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ

Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.
