The Clear Qur'anic Exegesis (46)

Muhammad Khayr Ramadan Yusuf

Surat Al Baqarah (105-106)




{ مَّا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَلاَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَن يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَاللّهُ يَخْتَصُّ بِرَحْمَتِهِ مَن يَشَاءُ وَاللّهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ } [البقرة: 105]
105- The disbelievers —whether they are polytheists or from the People of the Scriptures— are severe in their enmity to you. They do not wish you any good, so do not resemble them or be kind to them because of the wide mercy and great bounty that Allah granted you because their hearts are filled with hatred and envy. He sent down the revelation to Muhammad (peace be upon him) while he is living among you, so hold firm with that for which they envy you, and be grateful to Allah for His Favor so as to preserve it for you and give you more. There is nothing better than the bounty of faith and responding to the call of the Prophet (peace be upon him), so be keen to that.

{ مَا نَنسَخْ مِنْ آيَةٍ أَوْ نُنسِهَا نَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ مِّنْهَا أَوْ مِثْلِهَا أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللّهَ عَلَىَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ } [البقرة: 106]

106- Whatever an Ayah do We abrogate or alter its ruling to another one —such as changing a command to a prohibition or a ruling from banning to permissibility from the legislations and ordinances that fit the conditions and current affairs of people— or We make the Prophet (peace be upon him) to forget or erase what We will but the latter will be better or at least of the like according to the circumstances and the reformation of humanity. Nothing fails Allah and He is the Able to do anything.
