Allah said,
[وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ
مِمَّنِ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ وَهُوَ يُدْعَى إِلَى
الإِسْلاَمِ]
(And who does more wrong than the one who invents a lie against Allah, while
he is being invited to Islam) meaning, none is more unjust than he who lies
about Allah and calls upon rivals and associates partners with Him, even while
he is being invited to Tawhid and sincerely worshipping Him. This is why Allah
said,
[وَاللَّهُ لاَ
يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الظَّـلِمِينَ]
(And Allah guides not the people who are wrongdoers.) Allah said,
[يُرِيدُونَ
لِيُطْفِئُواْ نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَهِهِمْ]
(They intend to put out the Light of Allah with their mouths.) indicating
that the disbelievers will try to contradict the truth with falsehood. Their
attempts are similar to one's attempt to extinguish the sun with his mouth,
which is impossible. Likewise is the case of their attempt to extinguish truth.
So Allah said,
[يُرِيدُونَ
لِيُطْفِئُواْ نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَهِهِمْ وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَلَوْ
كَرِهَ الْكَـفِرُونَ - هُوَ الَّذِى أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ
الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ
]
(But Allah will bring His Light to perfection even though the disbelievers
hate (it). He it is Who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of
truth to make it victorious over all (other) religions even though the idolators
hate (it).) We explained the meanings of similar Ayat before, in the Tafsir of
Surah Bara'ah. All praise and thanks are due to Allah.
[يأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُواْ هَلْ أَدُلُّكمْ عَلَى تِجَـرَةٍ تُنجِيكُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ -
تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَتُجَـهِدُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
بِأَمْوَلِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ ذَلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ -
يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَيُدْخِلْكُمْ جَنَّـتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا
الاٌّنْهَـرُ وَمَسَـكِنَ طَيِّبَةً فِى جَنَّـتِ عَدْنٍ ذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ
الْعَظِيمُ - وَأُخْرَى تُحِبُّونَهَا نَصْرٌ مِّن اللَّهِ وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيبٌ
وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ]
(10. O you who believe! Shall I guide you to a trade that will save you from
a painful torment) (11. 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!) (12. (If you do so) He will
forgive you your sins, and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow, and
pleasant dwellings in `Adn (Eternal) Paradise; that is indeed the great
success.) (13. And also (He will give you) another (blessing) which you love,
help from Allah and a near victory. And give glad tidings to the believers.)
