Or deemed ye that ye would be left (in peace) when Allah yet knoweth not
those of you who strive, choosing for familiar none save Allah and His
Messenger and the Believers? And Allah is Aware of what ye do.

Commentary
Waliijatan – (the
familiar), grammatically it is an adjective from the word walaja,
origin of which is wuluujun. Wuluujun means “to enter”. Waliijatun means
“such close friend who interferes in internal and private matters. There is a
word bataanatun of the same meaning, which was discussed
in Surah ‘Aali-‘Imraan. This word can be used for single as well as
for the plural.
It has been known from the
previous verses that in the Peace Treaty of Hudaybiah, it was last
attempt to teach the idolaters of Makkah regarding living
together, despite having difference of Beliefs. They opposed the Treaty and it
became known that their haughtiness and obstinacy will not let them live together
with anyone else.
After that, due to breaking the
terms of treaty, the Muslims attacked over the idolaters of Makkah and
it was conquered. Then it was commanded: It is learned from the experience that
these wicked idolaters have devised strongly that they would never live with
you together. Therefore you should separate your organization and remove them
out from the Arab, so that they may know the result of fighting own people. And
then you should adopt such behavior that the world should admit you as flag-holders
of goodness and peace, and those who are mischievous and rebellious; they
should tremble with fear by hearing your name.
The Muslims have been caused to
understand in this verse that the world is a place of striving. No individual
or group can thrive here without trying and striving. That will find fruit of
his attempt who will strive. Do you think that by sitting idle; you can set the
path of development? God Almighty has prescribed this rule in the world that
every group and individual will be examined by its deeds and actions.
The patience is a good thing
itself, but that does not provide any ground for improvement, that is a source
and respite for thinking, understanding and establishing a way. Impatient
person makes haste at the time of calamity and sometimes is killed. Whereas,
that individual, who has patience, thinks before performing that “what should I
do to remove this disaster?” And he succeeds in his mission. You will not be
left free, but your effort, sympathy and amity will be examined by setting you
alight in the practical field.
