Translation of Verse 51-56

51. O believers! Take neither Jews nor Christians as guardians- they are guardians of each other. 252 Whoever does so will be counted as one of them. Surely Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

52. You see those with sickness in their hearts racing for their guardianship, saying ˹in justification˺, "We fear a turn of fortune will strike us." But perhaps Allah will bring about ˹your˺ victory or another favour by His command, and they will regret what they have hidden in their hearts.

53. ˹Only then,˺ the believers will ask ˹one another˺, "Are these the ones who swore solemn oaths by Allah that they were with you?" Their deeds have been in vain, so they have become losers.

54. O believers! Whoever among you abandons their faith, Allah will replace them with others who love Him and are loved by Him. They will be humble with the believers but firm towards the disbelievers, struggling in the Way of Allah; fearing no blame from anyone. This is the favour of Allah. He grants it to whoever He wills. And Allah is All- Bountiful, All-Knowing.

55. Your only guardians are Allah, His Messenger, and fellow believers-who establish prayer and pay alms-tax with humility.

56. Whoever allies themselves with Allah, His Messenger, and fellow believers, then it is certainly Allah's party that will prevail.


Commentary

252. Wali means guardian, caretaker, protector, provider, ally, etc. The Prophet ( ﷺ ) for example says, "A woman should not get married without a wali. "-that is a guardian such as her father to represent her in the marriage and make sure she receives her full rights. The verse forbids Muslims from allying with the Jews and Christians (or anyone else) conspiring to persecute Muslims. On the other hand, as long as non-Muslims are not at war with Muslims or persecuting them, the Quran (60:8) commands Muslims to be kind and gracious to them.
