Surah An-Nisaa · Ayah 141·Madanī

141

ٱلَّذِينَ بِكُمْ فَإِن لَكُمْ مِّنَ أَلَمْ مَّعَكُمْ وَإِن أَلَمْ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّنَ وَلَن عَلَى ﴿١٤١﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

Those who wait [and watch] you. Then if you gain a victory from Allah, they say, "Were we not with you?" But if the disbelievers have a success, they say [to them], "Did we not gain the advantage over you, but we protected you from the believers?" Allah will judge between [all of] you on the Day of Resurrection, and never will Allah give the disbelievers over the believers a way [to overcome them].

Tafsīr

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

خداوند هرگز کافران را بر موْمنان تسلّطی نداده است

برخی از مفسران گفته‌اند که از این جمله استفاده می‌شود که کافران نه تنها از نظر منطق» بلکه از نظر نظامی و سیاسی و فرهنگی و اقتصادی و... بر افراد باایمان چیره نخواهند شد و اگر پیروزی آنها را بر مسلمانان در میدان‌های گوناگون با چشم خود می‌بینیم؛ به خاطر این است که بسیاری از مسلمانان، مؤمنان واقعی نیستند و راه و رسم ایمان و وظایف و مسئولیتها و رسالت‌های خویش را به کلی فراموش کرده‌اند. نه خبری از اتحاد و اخوت اسلامی در میان آنان است و نه جهاد را به معنای واقعی کلمه انجام می‌دهند و نه علم و آگاهی لازم را - که اسلام کسب آن را از لحظةٌ تولد تا لحظة مرگ بر همه لازم شمرده است - دارند.
