The Holy Quran 5:11 — Surah Al-Ma'idah

Arabic text

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱذْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ هَمَّ قَوْمٌ أَن يَبْسُطُوٓا۟ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْدِيَهُمْ فَكَفَّ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَنكُمْ ۖ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ

Translation

O you who have Imaan! Remember the favour of Allaah to you when a nation (the Quraysh of Makkah and many other enemies) resolved to stretch their hands against (lay their hands on) you (to fight you) but He withheld their hands from you (so that they were unable to cause you any harm). Fear Allaah (ensuring that your external and internal relationships with Allaah are flawless)! Only in Allaah should the Mu'mineen trust (Only to Him do they owe their loyalty).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Allah’s favour to the believers: after reminding of general favours, [Allah] reminds of certain special favours. That is, how hard the Quraysh of Makkah and their henchmen struggled to harm the radiant Prophet ﷺ and to wipe out Islam, yet the grace and mercy of Almighty Allah did not let a single one of their schemes succeed.
