﴿وَجَعَلْنَا مِنْهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَهْدُونَ بِأَمْرِنَا لَمَّا صَبَرُوا ۖ وَكَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا يُوقِنُونَ﴾
[ السجدة: 24]

32:24 And We made from among them leaders guiding by Our command when they were patient and [when] they were certain of Our signs.

And We appointed among them leaders read a-immatan by pronouncing both hamzas or by substituting the second one with a yā who guided people by Our command when they had endured patiently in observing their religion and against the hardships they suffered because of their enemies lammā ‘when’ a variant reading has limā ‘because’ and had conviction in Our signs the ones indicating Our power and Our Oneness.

And based on this divine discourse which M?ssa imparted to them We ordained some of them religious leaders and authorities on matters of the law and the doctrine as well as other solemn observances. And We authorized this course after they had exercised patience and forbearance under provocation and bore with others their limitations and after they had hugged Our revelations to their hearts

(32:24) and when they remained steadfast and firmly believed in Our Signs, We created among them leaders who guided people by Our command. *37

And We made from among them leaders meaning

*37) That is, " Whatever progress the children of Israel made and whatever heights they attained by that Book, was not simply due to the reason that a Book had been sent among them.
It was not an amulet that they might have hung around their necks and they might have started ascending the steps of glory under its good and protective influence.
But the glory was the direct result of their firm faith in the Revelations of Allah, and of the patience and perseverance that they showed in following the Divine Commandments.
Among the Israelites themselves also leadership fell to the lot of only those who were true believers of the Book of Allah and were not tempted at all by the greed of worldly gains and enjoyments.
When in their love of the truth they stood firm against every danger, endured every loss and affliction, and exerted their utmost against every hostile force, from the lusts of their own selves to the external enemies of the true Faith, then only did they become the leaders of the world.
The object is to warn the disbelievers of Arabia that just as the coming of the Book of Allah had decided the destinies of the children of Israel, so will this Book decide the destinies among you.
Now only those people will become the leaders, who will believe in it and follow the Truth presented by it patiently and resolutely.
Those who turn away from it are destined to end up in failure and wretchedness. "
 

( And when they became steadfast ) in their faith in and obedience of Me ( and believed firmly ) believed from their Scripture ( in Our revelations ) in Muhammad ( pbuh ) and in the Qur’an, ( We appointed from among them ) from among the children of Israel ( leaders ) of goodness ( who guided by Our command ) who invite people to Our command.

And We made from among them (Children of Israel), leaders, giving guidance under Our Command, when they were patient and used to believe with certainty in Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.).
