(The believers whose lives Allâh has purchased are) those who trun
to Allâh in repentance (from polytheism and hypocrisy, etc.), who worship
(Him), who praise (Him), who fast (or go out in Allâh's Cause), who bow down
(in prayer), who prostrate themselves (in prayer), who enjoin (on people)
Al-Ma'rûf (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all what Islâm has ordained) and forbid
(people) from Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism of all kinds and all that
Islâm has forbidden), and who observe the limits set by Allâh (do all that
Allâh has ordained and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which
Allâh has forbidden). And give glad tidings to the believers.[] (112) It is not (proper)
for the Prophet and those who believe to ask Allâh's Forgiveness for the
Mushrikûn (polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of
Allâh) even though they be of kin, after it has become clear to them that they
are the dwellers of the Fire (because they died in a state of disbelief). (113) And Ibrâhîm’s
(Abraham) invoking (of Allâh) for his father’s forgiveness was only because of
a promise he [Ibrâhîm (Abraham)] had made to him (his father). But when it
became clear to him [Ibrâhîm (Abraham)] that he (his father) is an enemy of
Allâh, he dissociated himself from him. Verily Ibrâhîm (Abraham) was Awwah (one
who invokes Allâh with humility, glorifies Him and remembers Him much) and was
forbearing. (Tafsir Al-Qurtubî)[]. (114) And Allâh will never lead a people astray
after He has guided them until He makes clear to them as to what they should
avoid. Verily, Allâh is the All-Knower of everything.[] (115) Verily, Allâh! Unto
Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, He gives life and He
causes death. And besides Allâh you have neither any Walî (protector or
guardian) nor any helper. (116) Allâh has forgiven the Prophet (SAW), the
Muhajirûn (Muslim emigrants who left their homes and came to Al-Madinah) and
the Ansar (Muslims of Al-Madinah) who followed him (Muhammad SAW) in the time
of distress (Tabûk expedition), after the hearts of a party of them had nearly
deviated (from the Right Path), but He accepted their repentance. Certainly, He
is unto them full of Kindness, Most Merciful (117)
