SubhanAllah!

Isn’t this Ayah enough to differentiate between the Haqq and the Batil, between the Truth and the falsehood, between the Truthful and the Liars?

Allah didn’t say, “Believers are those”; rather, He says, “Believers are ONLY those”.

What do you understand from this?
If you mention some group of people as ONLY successful, ONLY truthful, ONLY passed, what does this mean about the others?
‘Others are not successful’, ‘others are not truthful’ and ‘others are not passed’ isn’t it?

Let’s see who those “ONLY” believers are.

1. Those who have no doubt

2. Those who strive/struggle/fight for Allah

3. With their WEALTH and their LIVES

4. and then FINALLY Allah also says they are the TRUTHFUL.

(Meanwhile, do the critical reasoning of this last part of the Ayah, “They are the TRUTHFUL”

What does it mean?
Simply, it means ‘Others are not truthful’ and if someone is not truthful, what is he?
LIAR!
Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Rajiun.

Now, let’s get back to the main body of the Ayah.

We have a CLEAR statement from Allah, Al-Haqq,
The Truthful, who are the “ONLY believers”
And who are the TRUTHFUL? (The opposite of which is who are the LIARS)

And then next, HE mentioned 3 criteria for them.

What does it mean?
Others who do not fall into the criteria are they not believers?
If you take the meaning literally, it would mean that the others are not believers.

But in another place in the Quran, Allah says that
“There are rewards for those who do Jihad and who do not do Jihad, but the ones who do Jihad have a high rank with Allah”
Because we have this Ayah, therefore, we cannot take the literal meaning of this Ayah that ‘whoever does not fall in the category they are not a believer’.
What we at least understand from this saying of ‘ONLY’ is how much Allah emphasises Jihad and regards those as only believers, and mentions them as TRUTHFUL.

SubhanAllah!
Do not those Ulema even feel a least tremble in their heart when they deny Jihad and term the Mujahideen as ‘Misguided’ or ‘Terrorist’ like the Kuffar do?
And then those who say “Jihad is of Nafs” and limit it there, also deny this Ayah, which clearly mentions Jihad by ‘WEALTH and LIVES’. If Jihad did emphasise NAFS only, then it wouldn’t require lives and wealth for it. It’s so simple to understand.

And Allah knows best.
May Allah guide those Ulema.
May Allah guide those Muslims who blindly follow these misguided Ulema.
Ameen.
