Surah Saff ayat 11 Tafsir Quran 61:11

﴿تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَتُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ﴾
[ الصف: 11]

61:11 [It is that] you believe in Allah and His Messenger and strive in the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives. That is best for you, if you should know.

You should believe you should maintain faith in God and His Messenger and struggle for the cause of God with your possessions and your lives. That is better for you should you know that it is better for you then do it.

It is such that you believe in Allah with hearts impressed with the image ol religious and spiritual virtues and with deeds imprinted with wisdom and piety, and that you recognize His Messenger, and that you strive in His cause with your money and your lives. This is far better for you if only you know

The Trade that saves One from the Painful Torment We mentioned a Hadith from `Abdullah bin Salam in that the Companions wanted to ask the Prophet of Allah about the best actions with Allah the Exalted and Most Honored, so they could practice them.
Allah the Exalted sent down this Surah, including this Ayah, يأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ هَلْ أَدُلُّكمْ عَلَى تِجَـرَةٍ تُنجِيكُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ( O you who believe! Shall I guide you to a trade that will save you from a painful torment ) Allah then explained this great trade that will never fail, the trade that will earn one what he wishes and saves him from what he dislikes.
Allah the Exalted said, تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَتُجَـهِدُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِأَمْوَلِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ ذَلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ( That you believe in Allah and His Messenger, and that you strive hard and fight in the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives, that will be better for you, if you but know! ) this is better than the trade of this life and striving hard for it and amassing it.
Allah the Exalted said, يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ ( He will forgive you your sins, ) meaning, `if you fulfill what I commanded you and guided you to, then I will forgive your sins and admit you into the Gardens of Paradise.
In them, you will have exalted residences and high postitions.' This is why Allah the Exalted said, وَيُدْخِلْكُمْ جَنَّـتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا الاٌّنْهَـرُ وَمَسَـكِنَ طَيِّبَةً فِى جَنَّـتِ عَدْنٍ ذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ ( and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow, and pleasant dwellings in `Adn (Eternal ) Paradise; that is indeed the great success.) Allah said, وَأُخْرَى تُحِبُّونَهَا ( And also another (blessing ) which you love,) meaning, `I will grant you more favors that you like,' نَصْرٌ مِّن اللَّهِ وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيبٌ ( help from Allah and a near victory. ) meaning, if you fight in Allah's cause and support His religion, He will grant you victory.
Allah the Exalted said, يأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ إِن تَنصُرُواْ اللَّهَ يَنصُرْكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَكُمْ ( O you who believe! If you help (in the cause of ) Allah, He will help you, and make your foothold firm.) ( 47:7 ), and, وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ اللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَقَوِىٌّ عَزِيزٌ ( Verily, Allah will help those who help His (cause ).
Truly, Allah is All Strong, All-Wise.) ( 22:40 ) Allah's statement, وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيبٌ ( and a near victory. ) means, it will come sooner, and this is the increased favor that is earned in this life and continues, becoming the delight of the Hereafter.
It is for those who obey Allah and His Messenger and support Allah and His religion.
Allah said; وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( And give glad tidings to the believers. )

(61:11) It is that you should believe in Allah and His Messenger, *15 and should exert your utmost in Allah's Way with your wealth and your selves. This would be best for you if you only knew. *16

[It is that] you believe in Allah meaning

*15) When the believers are asked to believe, it automatically gives the meaning that they should become sincere Muslims: they should not rest content with oral profession of the Faith but should be ready and willing to make every sacrifice in the cause of their Faith.

*16) That is, this bargain is far superior for them to every worldly bargain.

Allah said; وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( And give glad tidings to the believers. )

( Ye should believe in Allah and His messenger ) you should be true in your faith in Allah and His Messenger, if this is understood to be a call to be the opposite of the hypocrites, ( and should strive for the cause of Allah ) in obedience of Allah ( with your wealth and your lives ) by spending your wealth and sacrificing your own persons. ( That ) striving ( is better for you ) wealth, ( if ye did but know ) if you believe in the reward of Allah.

That you believe in Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and that you strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives, that will be better for you, if you but know!
