(110) You[665] are indeed the best nation the world has seen[666]: you enjoin virtue, advise against what is unacceptable and Believe in Allah. Had the People of the Book Believed, it would have been better for them. Among them are ˹some˺ Believers, but most of them are Transgressors.
[665] The nation of Muhammad (ﷺ). [666] Ukhrijat lil-nās, lit. brought forth to mankind.
(111) They will not harm you except by hurting you ˹verbally˺ and if they fight you, they will take to their heels ˹in flight˺; then they would not be helped.[667]
[667] This fact is mentioned here in lieu of their transgression, and with which the previous aya ended. (al-Tawḥīḍī, Ibn ʿĀshūr)
(112) Stamped on them is indignity wherever they are found. They are only spared ˹this˺ by a rope from Allah and a rope from people[668]. They have incurred Allah’s Wrath, and degradation[669] was stamped on them; this is for their Denial in Allah’s Signs and killing the Prophets unjustifiably; this is for their rebelling and aggression[670].
[668] That is by means of a peace pact and/or defence alliance following the laws of God, or by the authority of people. [669] Whereas they might be spared from humiliation by others, indignity, which springs from within, being as it is engrained in the person’s consciousness, is not intermittent. [670] This fate was imposed on them by God, in part, in fulfilment of the Divine promise to Punish them severely, as found in 3:21.
(113) They are not ˹all˺ alike[671], there are among the People of the Book a legion, upright, reciting the Signs[672] of Allah throughout the night[673] and they prostrate ˹in Prayer˺[674].
[671] Reference is made here to those of the People of the Book who sincerely Believed in the Messengership of Muhammad (ﷺ), followed him and devoutly adhered to the dictates of his religion. (al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī, Ibn ʿĀshūr) [672] Qur’anic ayas. [673] Reciting the Qur’an at night is a sign of their devoutness. At night one’s heart becomes more sincere and undivided as one retreats to the deepest recesses of one’s own home veiled from the eyes of others. (al-Nawawī, al-Tibyān fī Ādāb Ḥamalat al-Qur’ān, p. 63) [674] That is, they perform Prayers. Although prostration is only part of Prayer, it is used synecdochally. It is singled out because it is that part of Prayer that most demonstrates devotion and humility. Indeed, it is a becoming symbol of devout submission, i.e. Islam.
(114) They Believe in Allah and the Last Day, enjoin virtue and advise against what is unacceptable and rush forth to do good—those are among the Righteous.
