The enemies of Allaah have circulated a vindication for their creed and their leadership by charging the believers with a number of accusations, lying to Allaah, Jalla Wa 'Ulaa, to themselves, and to the people. And this is one of the paths to repelling people from the Path of Allaah. And Allaah has exposed these claims and disclosed their state to the believers so that they may be upon insight and light from their Lord and so the embers of faith are not extinguished in their hearts, and so they do not abandon this legislation
[out of] shame of it, or out of shyness of manifesting and proclaiming it.
And from these accusations:
1} We will be accused of seeking posts [of power] and the rule.
Allaah Ta'ala said:
They said: ''Have you come to us to turn us away from that [Faith] we found our fathers following, and that you two may have greatness in the land? [1]
2} We will be accused of curropting the earth and bringing a new religion.
Fir'awn said: ''Leave me to kill Musa, and let him call his Lord [to stop me from killing him]! I fear that he may change your religion, or that he may cause mischief to appear in the land!'' [2]
3} We will be accused that following us will result in poverty and the crippling of the sources of economic revenue - like cuting off travel, and paralyzing and [the role of] the hotels.
And they said: ''If we follow the guidance with you, we would be snatched away from our land. [3]
The chiefs of those who disobeyed among his people said [to their people]: ''If you follow Shu'ayb, be sure then you will be the losers! '' [4]
4} Their accusation that we force our opinion on people with might and with dominance, and not by the path of the majority
Allaah Ta'ala said,
Then Fir'awn sent callers to {all} the cities [5]
And the goal of all of these is to repel people from the Religion of Allaah and from Guidance, Allaah Ta'ala said,
They Wish that you reject Faith, as they have rejected {faith}, and thus that you all become equal {like one another} [6]
Never will the Jews nor Christians be pleased with you {O Muhammed} until you follow their religion [7]
And those who disbelieved said to their Messengers, ''Surely, we shall drive you out of our land, or you shall return to our religion'' [8]
''For if they come to know of you, they will stone you [to death or abuse and harm you] or turn you back to their religion, and in that case you will never be successful.'' [9]
So beware, My Muslim brother, and be cautious of them, lest they be a Fitnah for you, and hold fast to the rope of Allaah to which none who hold fast go astray - you will be from the successful ones. And seek assistance from Allaah, and do not weaken, for if you approach and deliever, then before you is [either] the everlasting gardens...
In a seat of truth {paradise}, near the Omnipotent King [10]
...or Victory from Allaah and establishment.
And also [He will give you] another {blessing} which you love, help from Allaah {against you enemies} and a near victory. And give glad tidings {O Muhammed} to the believers [11]
And seek death [through Jihad], and you will be bestowed life [i.e eternal life in Paradise].
And all Praise is due to Allaah, Lord of the worlds.
