God wants you to know 

Explanation:

This verse was revealed to comfort the believers after the Battle of Uhud, where they faced challenges. It reminds them that the promise of divine help is meant to bring hope and calm their hearts. The mention of victory here refers to the support Allah provided, showing that He controls all outcomes. God wants you to know that His help is a source of reassurance, not just a promise of success, but a way to strengthen your faith during tough times.

The verse emphasizes that true victory doesn’t come from human efforts alone, like strategy or strength, but from Allah’s will. He is described as the Mighty, meaning His power is unmatched, and the Wise, meaning His decisions are perfect. This teaches believers to rely on Allah, trusting that He knows what’s best, even when things seem difficult.

For the believers, this verse is a call to patience and trust. It reassures them that Allah’s support is always near, even in moments of doubt or fear. By focusing on His might and wisdom, they are encouraged to stay steadfast, knowing that Allah’s plan is greater than any challenge they face.

Verse 127

لِيَقْطَعَ طَرَفًا مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ أَوْ يَكْبِتَهُمْ فَيَنقَلِبُواْ خَآئِبِينَ

Meaning:

So that He might cut off a portion of the disbelievers or defeat them, so they retreat in disappointment.

Explanation:

This verse explains the purpose behind Allah’s help in battles like Uhud. It was to weaken the disbelievers, either by reducing their numbers or breaking their spirits, so they would leave defeated. This shows that Allah’s plan includes protecting the believers and ensuring the truth prevails, even if the outcome isn’t always immediate victory.

The phrase “cut off a portion” can mean physically defeating some enemies or diminishing their influence. The alternative, “defeat them,” refers to crushing their morale, leaving them hopeless. This was evident in Uhud, where the disbelievers initially seemed strong but ultimately failed to destroy the Muslim community. Allah’s strategy is to show that falsehood cannot last against the truth.

For believers, this verse is a reminder to stay patient and trust Allah’s plan, even when the enemy seems powerful. It teaches that success isn’t just about winning every fight but about the bigger picture of upholding faith. God wants you to know that He is always working to protect His message, ensuring that those who oppose it will face disappointment in the end.

Verse 128

لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْرِ شَىْءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَـٰلِمُونَ

Meaning:

You have no say in the matter. It is up to Allah to accept their repentance or punish them, for they are wrongdoers.

Explanation:

This verse was directed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), reminding him that he doesn’t control people’s fates—only Allah does. Whether the disbelievers repent and are forgiven or face punishment is entirely Allah’s decision. This highlights Allah’s ultimate authority and mercy, even toward those who do wrong.

The verse also shows Allah’s justice. The disbelievers are called “wrongdoers” because they reject the truth and harm others. Yet, Allah’s mercy allows for repentance, showing that His forgiveness is always possible for those who turn back to Him. This balance of justice and mercy is a key theme in Islam.

For believers, this verse teaches humility and trust in Allah’s judgment. It reminds them not to judge others harshly, as only Allah knows who will repent or face consequences. It encourages focusing on one’s own faith and actions, leaving the rest to Allah’s wisdom.

Verse 129

وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ يَغْفِرُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Meaning:

To Allah belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills. And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

Explanation:

This verse emphasizes Allah’s complete ownership of the universe. Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to Him, and He has full authority to forgive or punish as He sees fit. This shows His absolute power and control over all creation, reminding believers that nothing happens without His permission.

Allah’s forgiveness and mercy are highlighted, showing that while He can punish, His preference is to forgive those who seek it. The names “Forgiving” and “Merciful” reflect His compassion, encouraging believers to turn to Him with hope, even after making mistakes. This balance of justice and mercy gives believers confidence in Allah’s fairness.

For the community, this verse is a reminder to trust Allah’s decisions and seek His forgiveness. It teaches that no matter how big a sin may seem, Allah’s mercy is greater, and He is always ready to forgive those who sincerely repent. It also encourages gratitude for His countless blessings in the heavens and earth.

Verse 130

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ لَا تَأْكُلُواْ ٱلرِّبَوٰٓاْ أَضْعَـٰفًا مُّضَـٰعَفَةً ۖ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

Meaning:

O you who believe, do not consume usury, doubled and multiplied. Fear Allah so that you may succeed.

Explanation:

This verse directly addresses believers, warning them against consuming riba (usury or interest), especially when it grows excessively. In pre-Islamic Arabia, usury was common, often trapping people in unfair debt. Allah forbids this practice because it harms society and exploits the vulnerable, going against Islamic values of fairness.

The command to “fear Allah” reminds believers to be conscious of His rules in all dealings. Avoiding usury is part of living a righteous life that leads to true success, both in this world and the hereafter. This verse shows that faith isn’t just about worship but also about ethical behavior in financial matters.

For believers, this is a call to build a just economy based on fairness and compassion. By avoiding usury, they contribute to a society where people help each other, not exploit one another. Success, as defined here, comes from following Allah’s guidance, which brings peace and blessings in life.

Thank you.
