Surah Tawbah ayat 24 Tafsir Quran 9:24

﴿قُلْ إِن كَانَ آبَاؤُكُمْ وَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ وَإِخْوَانُكُمْ وَأَزْوَاجُكُمْ وَعَشِيرَتُكُمْ وَأَمْوَالٌ اقْتَرَفْتُمُوهَا وَتِجَارَةٌ تَخْشَوْنَ كَسَادَهَا وَمَسَاكِنُ تَرْضَوْنَهَا أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَجِهَادٍ فِي سَبِيلِهِ فَتَرَبَّصُوا حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَ اللَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ﴾
[ التوبة: 24]

9:24 Say, [O Muhammad], "If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your relatives, wealth which you have obtained, commerce wherein you fear decline, and dwellings with which you are pleased are more beloved to you than Allah and His Messenger and jihad in His cause, then wait until Allah executes His command. And Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people."

Say ‘If your fathers and your sons and your brothers and your wives and your clan your kinsmen ‘ashīratukum a variant reading has ‘ashīrātukum and the possessions which you have acquired and merchandise for which you fear there may be no sale no longer viable and dwellings which you love are dearer to you than God and His Messenger and struggling in His way so that you have refrained from emigrating and struggling for the sake of such things then wait until God brings about His command — this is meant as a threat to them. And God does not guide the wicked folk’.

Say O Muhammad to those who have conformed to Islam: If your fathers and your sons, your brothers and your wives your kindred and the wealth you have acquired, your trade which you fear may stagnate or decline and the comfortable and attractive homes, are regarded with more esteem and affection than Allah and His Messenger and than fighting the good fight of faith, then you just wait until Allahs fitting judgement presents itself. Allah does not guide to His path of righteousness the wrongful of actions

The Prohibition of taking the Idolators as Supporters, even with Relatives Allah commands shunning the disbelievers, even if they are one's parents or children, and prohibits taking them as supporters if they choose disbelief instead of faith.
Allah warns, لاَّ تَجِدُ قَوْماً يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الاٌّخِرِ يُوَآدُّونَ مَنْ حَآدَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَوْ كَانُواْ ءَابَآءَهُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَآءَهُمْ أَوْ إِخْوَنَهُمْ أَوْ عَشِيرَتَهُمْ أُوْلَـئِكَ كَتَبَ فِى قُلُوبِهِمُ الإِيمَـنَ وَأَيَّدَهُمْ بِرُوحٍ مِّنْهُ وَيُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنَّـتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا الاٌّنْهَـرُ ( You will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, making friendship with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even though they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred (people ).
For such He has written ( predetermined ) faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with a Ruh ( proof, light and true guidance ) from Himself.
And He will admit them to Gardens ( Paradise ) under which rivers flow.) 58:22 Al-Hafiz Al-Bayhaqi recorded that `Abdullah bin Shawdhab said, "The father of Abu `Ubaydah bin Al-Jarrah was repeatedly praising the idols to his son on the day of Badr, and Abu `Ubaydah kept avoiding him.
When Al-Jarrah persisted, his son Abu `Ubaydah headed towards him and killed him.
Allah revealed this Ayah in his case, لاَّ تَجِدُ قَوْماً يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الاٌّخِرِ يُوَآدُّونَ مَنْ حَآدَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ( You will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, making friendship with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger." )58:22 Allah commanded His Messenger to warn those who prefer their family, relatives or tribe to Allah, His Messenger and Jihad in His cause, قُلْ إِن كَانَ ءَابَاؤُكُمْ وَأَبْنَآؤُكُمْ وَإِخْوَنُكُمْ وَأَزْوَجُكُمْ وَعَشِيرَتُكُمْ وَأَمْوَلٌ اقْتَرَفْتُمُوهَا ( Say: If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your kindred, the wealth that you have gained ), amassed and collected, وَتِجَـرَةٌ تَخْشَوْنَ كَسَادَهَا وَمَسَـكِنُ تَرْضَوْنَهَآ ( the commerce in which you fear a decline, and the dwellings in which you delight ), and prefer and love because they are comfortable and good.
If all these things, أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكُمْ مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَجِهَادٍ فِي سَبِيلِهِ فَتَرَبَّصُواْ ( are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger, and striving hard and fighting in His cause, then wait... ) for what will befall you of Allah's punishment and torment, حَتَّى يَأْتِىَ اللَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ وَاللَّهُ لاَ يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الْفَـسِقِينَ ( until Allah brings about His decision.
And Allah guides not the people who are rebellious. ) Imam Ahmad recorded that Zuhrah bin Ma`bad said that his grandfather said, "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, while he was holding the hand of `Umar bin Al-Khattab.
`Umar said, `By Allah! You, O Messenger of Allah, are dearer to me than everything, except for myself.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ نَفْسِه»
( None among you will attain faith until I become dearer to him than even himself. ) `Umar said, `Verily, now, you are dearer to me than myself, by Allah!' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«الْآنَ يَا عُمَر»
( Now, O `Umar! )" Al-Bukhari also collected this Hadith.
Imam Ahmad and Abu Dawud ( this is the version of Abu Dawud ) recorded that Ibn `Umar said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, إِذَا تَبَايَعْتُمْ بِالْعِينَةِ وَأَخَذْتُمْ بِأَذْنَابِ الْبَقَرِ وَرَضِيتُمْ بِالزَّرْعِ، وَتَرَكْتُمُ الْجِهَادَ سَلَّطَ اللهُ عَلَيْكُمْ ذُلًّا لَا يَنْزِعُهُ حَتَّى تَرْجِعُوا إِلَى دِينِكُم» ( If you transact in `Iynah (a type of Riba ), follow the tails of cows ( tilling the land ), become content with agriculture and abandoned Jihad, Allah will send on you disgrace that He will not remove until, you return to your religion.)"

(9:24) O Prophet, tell them plainly, "If your fathers and your sons, and your brothers and your wives, and your near and dear ones and the wealth which you have acquired and the trade you fear may decline and the homes which delight you-if all these things-are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger and the struggle in His Way, then wait till Allah passes His judgment on you; *22 for Allah does not guide the wicked people" .

Say, [O Muhammad], "If your fathers, your meaning

*22) That is: " The judgment will deprive them of the blessings of the true Faith, and of the honour of bearing its standard and leading the world towards its guidance.
and bestow these on others ".

( Say ) O Muhammad: ( If your fathers, and your sons, and your brethren, and your wives, and your tribe ) your folk who are in Mecca, ( and the wealth ye have acquired ) you have earned, ( and merchandise for which ye fear that there will be no sale ) that will not be spent in Medina, ( and dwellings ) houses ( ye desire ) to live in ( are dearer to you than Allah ) than Allah’s obedience ( and His messenger ) and dearer to you than migrating to His Messenger ( and striving in His way ) for the sake of His obedience: ( then wait till Allah bringeth His command to pass ) His punishment, i.e. killing upon the Conquest of Mecca. Those who migrated after this ( Allah guideth not ) He does not lead to His religion ( wrong-doing folk ) the disbelievers: those who not deserve it.

Say: If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your kindred, the wealth that you have gained, the commerce in which you fear a decline, and the dwellings in which you delight… are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger, and striving hard and fighting in His Cause, then wait until Allah brings about His Decision (torment). And Allah guides not the people who are Al-Fasiqun (the rebellious, disobedient to Allah).
