Surah Al-Baqarah

Verse 48

2:48 Al-Baqarah

وَاتَّقُوا يَوْمًا لَا تَجْزِي نَفْسٌ عَنْ نَفْسٍ شَيْئًا وَلَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهَا شَفَاعَةٌ وَلَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهَا عَدْلٌ وَلَا هُمْ يُنْصَرُونَ

Surah Baqarah Verse 48

☘️Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala first addresses them with love then He threatens them. It is because a person works under condition. It is either out of love or fear. Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala first says, “…I preferred you over the worlds,” as if to say: You were My favorite child. He then threatens them.

☘️Know that a Day will come when no person will help another. Our parents, our spouse, our children and our friends, everyone will leave us. Then we will be standing alone before Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala answerable for our deeds.

☘️No intercession, ransom, or assistance will be accepted on the behalf of the unbelievers. No type of help or cooperation will be offered to them. The judgment on that Day will be up to Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala alone. And He is the Most Just.

☘️The word shay’ā (شيئًا – at all, or anything) was used to show neither a great amount, nor a small amount (will benefit). Rather, that which will benefit a person are the deeds they prepared, for the earth we live on now does not consecrate anyone.

🔮The fear of other people stops us from submitting before Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala in entire sincerity. We should remember that on that Day no person can help us. Therefore, fear only Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala and not the people.
