يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ وَٱلۡمُنَٰفِقِينَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمٗا ١
(O Prophet), Allah is honoring him by addressing him by Prophethood, while He addressed all Prophets by their first names. Ibn Juzay: 2/181.
Question: In this verse, Allah addresses His Prophet (ﷺ) in an honorable way. How?
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ وَٱلۡمُنَٰفِقِينَۚ
Allah points out to something lower by referring to something higher. When He commands His servant and Messenger to do this, He is also commanding those who are lower than him, and the command is addressed to them more so. Ibn Kathir: 3/448.
Question: Is anyone above being commanded of piety, and prohibited from obeying the disbelievers and hypocrites?
وَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ وَٱلۡمُنَٰفِقِينَۚ
These are the real enemies, so do not obey them in some matters that undermine piety and are contrary to it. Al-Saadi: 657.
Question: Allah forbids the obedience of disbelievers and hypocrites. Why?
وَٱتَّبِعۡ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَۚ
Meaning: Follow the Quran. This prohibits following the rituals of the age of ignorance (pre-Islam), and it enjoins Jihad against them. Moreover, it is a proof against following one’s desires with the existence of a clear text (command). This speech is directed to the Prophet (ﷺ) and his Ummah. Al-Qurtubi: 17/51.
Question: How do you respond to one who abandons the Quran and follows his desires and people's opinions?
وَمَا جَعَلَ أَدۡعِيَآءَكُمۡ أَبۡنَآءَكُمۡۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ قَوۡلُكُم بِأَفۡوَٰهِكُمۡۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَقُولُ ٱلۡحَقَّ وَهُوَ يَهۡدِي ٱلسَّبِيلَ ٤
Claimed sons), adopted sons who carry the same as their adopting father. The reason for revealing this verse was that Zayd bin Haritha (t) was from a tribe called Kalb, and he was taken as captive by some Arabs, then was sold to Khadija (i), and she gave him to the Prophet (ﷺ) who adopted him as his son where he used to be called "Zayd bin Muhammad" until the revelation of this verse. Ibn Juzay: 2/182
Question: This verse nullified one of the customs from the age of ignorance, what was it?
ٱلنَّبِيُّ أَوۡلَىٰ بِٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ مِنۡ أَنفُسِهِمۡۖ
Than their own selves), let alone their own fathers, since the Prophet's rulings are binding to them, and obeying him is a duty for them, for he calls them to reason and wisdom, and enjoins them what saves them while their souls call them to follow their desires and worldly temptations, and enjoin them what ruins them. Al-Biqai: 15/290.
Question: Why is the Prophet (ﷺ) closer to us than our own selves?
وَأَزۡوَٰجُهُۥٓ أُمَّهَٰتُهُمۡۗ
Allah has honored the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) by making them "Mothers of the believers," which means treating them with veneration, reverence, and respect. Moreover, it is unlawful for them to marry anyone other than the Prophet (ﷺ). Al-Qurtubi: 17/62.
Question: Given this verse, how do you respond to those innovators who belittle the Mothers of the believers?
