In the Name of
Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful
Extract from QUR’AANIC STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir PART I:
54. Ya ayyuha allatheena
amanoo man yartadda minkum AAan deenihi fasawfa ya/tee Allahu
biqawmin yuhibbuhum wayuhibboonahu athillatin AAala
almu/mineena aAAizzatin AAala alkafireena yujahidoona fee
sabeeli Allahi wala yakhafoona lawmata la-imin thalika
fadlu Allahi yu/teehi man yashao waAllahu wasiAAun
AAaleemun
5:54. O you who
believe! If there be any from among you who turns back from his religion, then,
Allah will bring a people whom He will love and who will love Him, humble with
the believers, stern with those who suppress the Truth. They will strive in
Allah's Path and will not fear the criticism of any critic. That is Allah's
Favour which He gives to whom He wills. And Allah’s knowledge encompasses everything.
