231226 - Obey God and the messenger

[4:58]

God orders you to

• deliver anything you have been entrusted with to its owners.

AND

if you judge between the people,

THEN

• you shall judge with justice.

It is always the best that God prescribes for you. God is Hearer, Seer.

[4:59]

O you who believe,

• obey God and

• obey the messenger and

  • those in command among you.

But

if you dispute in any matter,

THEN

• you shall refer it to God and His messenger

  • if you believe in Allah and the Last Day.

That is better and more suitable for knowing.

[4:60]

Did you not note?

• those who claimed they believed
• in what was sent down to you and
• what was sent before you?

They wanted to seek judgment using evil,

while they were ordered to reject it.

It is the devil who wants to lead them far astray.

[4:61]

And

IF they are told:

• "Come to what God has sent down and
• to the messenger,"

you see the hypocrites turning away from you strongly.
