Translation of the meanings Ayah: (20) Surah: At-Tawbah
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَهَاجَرُواْ وَجَٰهَدُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ بِأَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ وَأَنفُسِهِمۡ أَعۡظَمُ دَرَجَةً عِندَ ٱللَّهِۚ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡفَآئِزُونَ
(20) [2050]Verily those who have Believed, migrated and striven in the path of Allah with their money and their lives are greater in rank before Allah—these are the ˹true˺ winners[2051].
[2050] This passage spells out and accentuates the special privilege of the true Believers. The truly humble, devout Believers by far outweigh, in the Sight of Allah, the characteristically arrogant who think that their so-called privileges, of being historically the guardians of the Sanctified Mosque, make them better than anyone else (cf. al-Zajjāj, Maʿānī al-Qur’ān, Ibn ʿAṭiyyah). Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Messenger (ﷺ) said: “Do not utter profanity against my Companions, should any of you spend ˹charitably˺ the like of ˹Mount˺ Uḥud in gold, that would not come close to equalling a bucket ˹charitably spent˺ by any of them; not even half of that!” (al-Bukhārī: 3673, Muslim: 2540).
[2051] “The companions of the Fire and the companions of Paradise are not equal; the companions of Paradise who are the ˹true˺ winners” (59: 20).
[2051] “The companions of the Fire and the companions of Paradise are not equal; the companions of Paradise who are the ˹true˺ winners” (59: 20).
