Commentary on 3:101
ولَمّا حَذَّرَهم مِنهم عَظَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ طاعَتَهم بِالإنْكارِ؛ والتَّعْجِيبِ مِن ذَلِكَ؛ مَعَ ما هم عَلَيْهِ؛ بَعْدَ اتِّباعِ الرَّسُولِ ﷺ؛ مِنَ الأحْوالِ الشَّرِيفَةِ؛ فَقالَ - عاطِفًا عَلى ما تَقْدِيرُهُ: ”فَكَيْفَ تُطِيعُونَهم وأنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَداوَتَهُمْ؟“ -: ﴿وكَيْفَ تَكْفُرُونَ﴾؛ أيْ: يَقَعُ مِنكم ذَلِكَ في وقْتٍ مِنَ الأوْقاتِ؛ عَلى حالٍ مِنَ الأحْوالِ؛ ﴿وأنْتُمْ تُتْلى﴾؛ أيْ: تُواصَلُ بِالقِراءَةِ؛ ﴿عَلَيْكم آياتُ اللَّهِ﴾؛ أيْ: عَلاماتُ المَلِكِ الأعْظَمِ؛ البَيِّناتِ؛ ﴿وفِيكم رَسُولُهُ﴾؛ الهادِي مِنَ الضَّلالَةِ؛ المُنْقِذُ مِنَ الجَهالَةِ؛ فَتَكُونُونَ قَدْ جَمَعْتُمْ إلى مُوافَقَةِ العَدُوِّ؛ مُخالَفَةَ الوَلِيِّ؛ وأنْتُمْ بِعَيْنِهِ؛ وفِيكم أمِينُهُ؛ ﴿ومَن﴾؛ أيْ: ”والحالُ أنَّهُ مَن“؛ ﴿يَعْتَصِمْ﴾؛ أيْ: ”يُجْهِدْ نَفْسَهُ في رَبْطِ أُمُورِهِ“؛ ﴿بِاللَّهِ﴾؛ المُحِيطِ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا؛ وقُدْرَةً؛ في جَمِيعِ أحْوالِهِ؛ كائِنًا مَن كانَ؛ ولَمّا (p-١٥)كانَ مَن قَصَرَ نَفْسَهُ عَلى مَن لَهُ الكَمالُ كُلُّهُ مُتَوَقِّعًا لِلْفَلاحِ؛ عَبَّرَ بِأداةِ التَّوَقُّعِ مَقْرُونَةً؛ بِفاءِ السَّبَبِ؛ فَقالَ:﴿فَقَدْ هُدِيَ﴾؛ وعَبَّرَ بِالمَجْهُولِ عَلى طَرِيقَةِ كَلامِ القادِرِينَ؛ ﴿إلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ﴾

3:102
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِۦ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنتُم مُّسۡلِمُونَ ١٠٢
O you who have believed, fear Allāh as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him].
3:103
وَٱعۡتَصِمُواْ بِحَبۡلِ ٱللَّهِ جَمِيعٗا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُواْۚ وَٱذۡكُرُواْ نِعۡمَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ إِذۡ كُنتُمۡ أَعۡدَآءٗ فَأَلَّفَ بَيۡنَ قُلُوبِكُمۡ فَأَصۡبَحۡتُم بِنِعۡمَتِهِۦٓ إِخۡوَٰنٗا وَكُنتُمۡ عَلَىٰ شَفَا حُفۡرَةٖ مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ فَأَنقَذَكُم مِّنۡهَاۗ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُونَ ١٠٣
And hold firmly to the rope1 of Allāh all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allāh upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allāh make clear to you His verses that you may be guided.

3:104
وَلۡتَكُن مِّنكُمۡ أُمَّةٞ يَدۡعُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡخَيۡرِ وَيَأۡمُرُونَ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ وَيَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ ٱلۡمُنكَرِۚ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ ١٠٤
And let there be [arising] from you a nation inviting to [all that is] good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong,1 and those will be the successful.

3:105
وَلَا تَكُونُواْ كَٱلَّذِينَ تَفَرَّقُواْ وَٱخۡتَلَفُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتُۚ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٞ ١٠٥
And do not be like the ones who became divided and differed after the clear proofs had come to them. And those will have a great punishment
3:106
يَوۡمَ تَبۡيَضُّ وُجُوهٞ وَتَسۡوَدُّ وُجُوهٞۚ فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡوَدَّتۡ وُجُوهُهُمۡ أَكَفَرۡتُم بَعۡدَ إِيمَٰنِكُمۡ فَذُوقُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَكۡفُرُونَ ١٠٦
On the Day [some] faces will turn white and [some] faces will turn black. As for those whose faces turn black, [to them it will be said], "Did you disbelieve [i.e., reject faith] after your belief? Then taste the punishment for what you used to reject."
3:107
وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ٱبۡيَضَّتۡ وُجُوهُهُمۡ فَفِي رَحۡمَةِ ٱللَّهِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ ١٠٧
But as for those whose faces turn white, [they will be] within the mercy of Allāh. They will abide therein eternally.
3:108
تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱللَّهِ نَتۡلُوهَا عَلَيۡكَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۗ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ ظُلۡمٗا لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ١٠٨
These are the verses of Allāh. We recite them to you, [O Muḥammad], in truth; and Allāh wants no injustice to the worlds [i.e., His creatures].
