The verse warns of those who envy and aim to turn believers from their path. Dr. Zaher Baadarani compares this to modern defeatists trying to shake the Syrian revolution’s resolve.

The verse warns against those—whether non-Muslims or misguided Muslims—who drive others away from faith through envy, injustice, or bad example.

Fulfilling covenants is a divine command. Breaking them is betrayal. The revolution opposed a treacherous regime, yet some opposition did the same.

Wrongdoers are the most eager for life, wishing to live a thousand years. But long life won't save them from punishment. Life span is in God’s hands, and He sees all they do.

The verse shows that wrongdoers avoid wishing for death due to their sins—like injustice, shirk, and consuming others’ rights—fearing God's judgment.

God forbade exile. The Prophet faced forced displacement, but divine justice promised return. The Syrian displaced share this path, with hope in justice and eventual victory.

God forbade bloodshed and condemned killing. Deliberate murder leads to Hell. In Syria, those who supported the regime and harmed innocents violated divine covenants.

Whoever believed, stood for justice, and supported the oppressed with sincere intent is among the companions of Paradise. Those who backed injustice face God’s eternal punishment.

Whoever supported the Syrian regime bears the sin; and those persisting in loyalty and service are fully enveloped by their transgression and bound for the Fire, as the verse warns.
