11. O ye who believe! Remember Allah’s Favour unto you,
how a people were minded to stretch out their hands against you but He
withheld their hands from you; and keep your duty to Allah. And in Allah let
believers put their trust.

Commentary
Hamma –
(intended, were minded), it is from hammun, which means “to plan,
to intend, to form a design against, to wish”.
Yabsutuuu – (they
stretch), this word is from basata, which means “to
spread, to stretch, to raise, to encourage”.
‘Aydii –
(hands), it is plural of yadun, as per Arabic language,
it means “hand”. The aim from ‘stretching out their hands’ is “troubling you,
fighting against you, attacking upon you”.
Kaffa –
(withheld), it is from kaffun, which means “to
restrain from, to keep or hold back”. It aims that Allah Almighty
did not let them trouble you and they could not attack upon you.
Before this lesson, the
Believers were directed that they should deal justly and play fairly, and were
commanded, “Whenever you overcome even upon your old enemies and they surrender
and embrace Islam, then you should forget their enmity. After embracing Islam,
while they have become your brothers, anyway you should not give up justice and
equity with them due to ancient enmity, but you should do such justice with
them in all matters as you do among yourselves. It is the teachings of
humanity, which is being delivered to the Muslims. Messenger of Allah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) caused to know the Muslims by
acting upon it Himself that, enmity of any person cannot prevent the Muslims
from doing justice with the enemy. No doubt that it is not easy to do good with
the bad, and such work can be done only, if someone has virtues of much higher
level. Therefore, such matter has been discussed in this verse, due to which,
it will become easy to do justice with the enemies. This formula has been told
in it that when the enemy is overpowered, then it should be thought that if Allah Almighty
had given him victory upon us, then how would we be beaten black and blue? It
is the great favor of Allah Almighty that He
did not hand over us to the enemies. We should be thankful to Him in such a
manner that we should do acts of kindness with the enemy according to the
command of Allah Almighty after defeating him and do
justice. If any temptation encloses your heart that the people will get the
upper hand upon you due to forgiving the enemy and they will consider it your
weakness, then forget this reflection. Because that God, Who saved you earlier
from their hands, He will save you again in future too. Therefore, Allah Almighty
has emphasized the Muslims, “Do not fear people, but fear Me and remember that
actual weapon of the Believers is, “They should trust only in Allah Almighty
in every affair”.
