The Holy Quran 3:52 — Surah Ali 'Imran

Arabic text

۞ فَلَمَّآ أَحَسَّ عِيسَىٰ مِنْهُمُ ٱلْكُفْرَ قَالَ مَنْ أَنصَارِىٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ قَالَ ٱلْحَوَارِيُّونَ نَحْنُ أَنصَارُ ٱللَّهِ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَٱشْهَدْ بِأَنَّا مُسْلِمُونَ

Translation

When Isa عليه الصلاة والسلام sensed kufr (the intention to cause enmity and harm) from them (the Jews), he said, "Who shall be my helpers towards (spreading the Deen of) Allaah?" The Disciples (first two, then others followed) replied, "We shall be the helpers (of the Deen of) Allaah. We believe in Allaah and you be the witness that we are indeed Muslims (subservient to Allaah)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, they will not accept my religion but will persist in enmity and in causing harm. that is, who will stand by me and help me in spreading the religion of Allah. helping Allah means precisely helping His religion, His law and His prophets, just as the Ansar (Helpers) of Madinah demonstrated by helping their Prophet ﷺ and the true religion.
