An-Nur 24:55
The Light · Juz 18 · Page 357
وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنكُمۡ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَيَسۡتَخۡلِفَنَّهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَمَا ٱسۡتَخۡلَفَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمۡ دِينَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي ٱرۡتَضَىٰ لَهُمۡ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ خَوۡفِهِمۡ أَمۡنٗاۚ يَعۡبُدُونَنِي لَا يُشۡرِكُونَ بِي شَيۡـٔٗاۚ وَمَن كَفَرَ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡفَٰسِقُونَ ٥٥
Allāh has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them and that He will surely establish for them [therein] their religion which He has preferred for them and that He will surely substitute for them, after their fear, security, [for] they worship Me, not associating anything with Me. But whoever disbelieves1 after that - then those are the defiantly disobedient.

Commentary on 24:55
قوله: {لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ} : فيه وجهان، أحدُهما: هو جوابُ قسمِ مضمرٍ أي: أُقْسِم لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهم ويكونُ مفعولُ الوعدِ محذوفاً تقديرُه: وَعَدَهم الاستخلافَ لدلالةِ قوله: {لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ} عليه. والثاني: أَنْ يجريَ «وعد» مَجْرى القسمِ لتحقُّقِه، فلذلك أُجيب بما يُجاب به القَسَمُ.
قوله: {كَمَا استخلف} أي: استخلافاً كاستخلافهم. والعامَّةُ على بناء «اسْتَخْلَفَ» للفاعل. وأبو بكر بناه للمفعول. فالموصولُ منصوبٌ على الأول، ومرفوعٌ على الثاني.
قوله: {وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُمْ} قرأ ابن كثير وأبو بكرٍ «ولَيُبْدِلَنَّهم» بسكونِ الباءِ وتخفيفِ الدال مِنْ «أَبْدَلَ» . وقد تقدَّم توجيهُها في الكهف في قولِه: {أَن يُبْدِلَهُمَا رَبُّهُمَا} [الكهف: 81] .
قوله: {يَعْبُدُونَنِي} فيه سبعةُ أوجهٍ، أحدُها: أنه مستأنفٌ أي: جوابٌ لسؤالٍ مقدَّر كأنه قيل: ما بالُهم يُسْتَخْلَفون ويُؤَمَّنون؟ فقيل: يَعْبُدونني. الثاني: أنه خبرُ مبتدأ مضمرٍ أي: هم يعبدونني. والجملةُ أيضاً استئنافيةٌ تقتضي المدحَ. الثالث: أنه حالٌ مِنْ مفعولِ «وَعَدَ اللهُ» . الرابع: أنه حالٌ مِنْ مفعولُ « لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ» . الخامس: أن يكونَ حالاً مِنْ فاعلِه. السادس: أَنْ يكونَ حالاً مِنْ مفعولِ «لَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُمْ» . السابع: أَنْ يكونَ حالاً مِنْ فاعلِه.
قوله: {لاَ يُشْرِكُونَ} يجوزُ أَنْ يكونَ مستأنفاً، وأن يكونَ حالاً مِنْ فاعلِ «يَعْبُدُونَنِي» أي: يَعْبُدونني مُوَحِّدين، وأن يكونَ بدلاً من الجملةِ التي قبلَه الواقعةِ حالاً وقد تَقَدَّم ما فيها.

24:54
قُلۡ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَۖ فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيۡهِ مَا حُمِّلَ وَعَلَيۡكُم مَّا حُمِّلۡتُمۡۖ وَإِن تُطِيعُوهُ تَهۡتَدُواْۚ وَمَا عَلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ إِلَّا ٱلۡبَلَٰغُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ ٥٤
Say, "Obey Allāh and obey the Messenger; but if you turn away - then upon him is only that [duty] with which he has been charged, and upon you is that with which you have been charged. And if you obey him, you will be [rightly] guided. And there is not upon the Messenger except the [responsibility for] clear notification."
24:55
وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنكُمۡ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَيَسۡتَخۡلِفَنَّهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَمَا ٱسۡتَخۡلَفَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمۡ دِينَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي ٱرۡتَضَىٰ لَهُمۡ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ خَوۡفِهِمۡ أَمۡنٗاۚ يَعۡبُدُونَنِي لَا يُشۡرِكُونَ بِي شَيۡـٔٗاۚ وَمَن كَفَرَ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡفَٰسِقُونَ ٥٥

24:56
وَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُواْ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ ٥٦
And establish prayer and give zakāh and obey the Messenger - that you may receive mercy.
24:57
لَا تَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مُعۡجِزِينَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَلَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ ٥٧
Never think that the disbelievers are causing failure [to Allāh] upon the earth. Their refuge will be the Fire - and how wretched the destination.
24:58
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لِيَسۡتَـٔۡذِنكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُكُمۡ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَمۡ يَبۡلُغُواْ ٱلۡحُلُمَ مِنكُمۡ ثَلَٰثَ مَرَّٰتٖۚ مِّن قَبۡلِ صَلَوٰةِ ٱلۡفَجۡرِ وَحِينَ تَضَعُونَ ثِيَابَكُم مِّنَ ٱلظَّهِيرَةِ وَمِنۢ بَعۡدِ صَلَوٰةِ ٱلۡعِشَآءِۚ ثَلَٰثُ عَوۡرَٰتٖ لَّكُمۡۚ لَيۡسَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَلَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ جُنَاحُۢ بَعۡدَهُنَّۚ طَوَّٰفُونَ عَلَيۡكُم بَعۡضُكُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٞ ٥٨
O you who have believed, let those whom your right hands possess and those who have not [yet] reached puberty among you ask permission of you [before entering] at three times: before the dawn prayer and when you put aside your clothing [for rest] at noon and after the night prayer. [These are] three times of privacy1 for you. There is no blame upon you nor upon them beyond these [periods], for they continually circulate among you - some of you, among others. Thus does Allāh make clear to you the verses [i.e., His ordinances]; and Allāh is Knowing and Wise.
