Good News of Allah's Defence for the Believers

Here Allah tells us that He defends His servants who put their trust in Him and turn to Him in repentance; He protects them from the the worst of evil people and the plots of the sinners; He protects them, guards them and supports them, as He tells us elsewhere:

أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِكَافٍ عَبْدَهُ

(Is not Allah sufficient for His servant) 39:36

وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَـلِغُ أَمْرِهِ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدْراً

(And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allah will accomplish his purpose. Indeed Allah has set a measure for all things) 65:3.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ كُلَّ خَوَّانٍ كَفُورٍ

(Verily, Allah likes not any treacherous ingrate) means, He does not like any of His servants who bear these characteristics, i.e., treachery in covenants and promises whereby a person does not do what he says, and ingratitude is to deny the blessings, whereby one does not acknowledge or appreciate them.

Это откровение содержит повествование, обещание и благую весть для верующих. Аллах обещал оберегать их от всего скверного и неприятного. Благодаря своей вере они защищены от зла, которое могут причинить неверующие, от зла и наущений дьяволов, а также от зла своих собственных душ и своих злодеяний. А когда на их долю готовы выпасть трудности и несчастья, которые они не смогут вынести, Аллах уменьшает их страдания до минимума. Такая защита и честь оказывается каждому правоверному в зависимости от силы его веры. Аллах не любит тех, кто предает оказанное ему доверие, не выполняет свои обязанности перед Ним и обманывает людей, которые доверяются ему. Он не любит неблагодарных рабов, которые отвечают на Его благодеяния неверием и ослушанием. Более того, Он ненавидит таких людей, и каждый из них непременно получит воздаяние за свое предательство и неверие. Из всего сказанного следует, что Аллах любит тех, кто верен своим обещаниям, выполняет свои обязанности и благодарит своего Покровителя.

Commentary

The previous verses contain an account of how the infidels of Makkah prevented the Holy Prophet ﷺ and his companions from entering the Haram and the Holy Mosque to perform ` Umrah when, having put on ihram, they had reached as far as Hudaibiyah, a place not far from Makkah. In this verse Allah Ta’ ala consoled the Muslims with the promise that He would deprive the infidels of their power to harm them anymore.

This incident took place in the year 6 A.H. and thereafter the power and the morale of the infidels suffered continuous decline until in the year 8 A.H. the Muslims conquered Makkah. The following verses describe this event in detail.
