Then a portion of the Children of Israel believed and a portion disbelieved: but We gave power
to those who believed against their enemies and they became the ones that prevailed.

5446 If we seek Allah's help, we must first help Allah's Cause, i.e., dedicate ourselves to Him entirely and without reserve.
This was also the teaching of Jesus, as mentioned in this verse. (61.14)
62:9 - O ye who believe! when the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday (the Day of Assembly)
hasten earnestly to the Remembrance of Allah and leave off business (and traffic): that is best
for you if ye but knew! 546154625463
63:9 - O ye who believe! let not your riches or your children divert you from the remembrance of
Allah. If any act thus the loss is their own. 5476
5476 Riches and human resources of all kinds are but fleeting sources of enjoyment. They should not turn away the good
man from his devotion to Allah. "Remembrance of Allah" includes every act of service and goodness, every kind
thought and kind deed, for this is the service and sacrifice which Allah requires of us. If we fail in this, the loss is our
own, not any one else's: for it stunts our own spiritual growth. (63.9)
64:8 - Believe therefore in Allah and His Apostle and in the Light which We have sent down. And
Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do. 5488
5488 "The Light which We have sent down": i.e., the light of Revelation, the fight of conscience, the light of reason, and
every kind of true light by which we may know Allah and His Will. If we play false with any such lights, it is fully known
to Allah. (64.8)
64:14 - O ye who believe! truly among your wives and your children are (some that are) enemies to
yourselves:
5494 In some cases the demands of families, i.e., wife and children may conflict with a man's moral and spiritual convictions
and duties. In such cases he must guard against the abandonment of his convictions, duties, and ideals to their
requests or desires. But he must not treat them harshly. He must make reasonable provision for them, and if they
persist in opposing his clear duties and convictions, he must forgive them and not expose them to shame or ridicule,
while at the same time holding on to his clear duty. Such cases occurred when godly men undertook exile from their
native city of Makkah to follow the Faith in Madinah. In some cases their families murmured, but all came right in the
end. (64.14)
65:10 - Allah has prepared for them a severe Punishment (in the Hereafter). Therefore fear Allah O
ye men of understanding who have believed! for Allah hath indeed sent down to you a
Message 55235524
5523 See last note. (65.10)
5524 There is no excuse for us to go astray, seeing that Allah in His infinite Mercy has explained to us His Message by His
many Signs around us and clearly by means of the human Teachers and Messengers whom He has sent for our
instruction: see next verse. (65.10)
65:11 - An Apostle who rehearses to you the Signs of Allah containing clear explanations that he
may lead forth those who believe and do righteous deeds from the depths of Darkness into
Light. And those who believe in Allah and work righteousness He will admit to Gardens
beneath which rivers flow to dwell therein forever: Allah has indeed granted for them a most
excellent provision. 5525
5525 Cf. xxiv. 40: the unbelievers' state is "like the depths of darkness in a vast deep ocean, overwhelmed with
billow topped by billow, topped by dark clouds; depths of darkness, one above another." Cf. ii. 257; "Allah is the
Protector of those who have Faith: from the depths of darkness He will lead them forth into light." (65.11)
66:6 - O ye who believe! save yourselves and your families from a Fire
66:8 - O ye who believe! turn to Allah with sincere repentance: in the hope that your Lord will
remove from you your ills
77:50 - Then what Message after that will they believe in? 5888
5888 "That" may refer to verse 48: they were given plain and clear Guidance, and they refused to accept it: after that what
kind of Message will they accept? The Guidance referred to is obviously that of Islam or the Qur-an. (77.50)
84:20 - What then is the matter with them that they believe not? 6048
6048 Considering man's high destiny, and the fact that this life is but a stage or a sojourn for him, it might be expected that
he would cagerly embrace every opportunity of welcoming Allah's Revelation and ascending by Faith to heights of
spiritual wisdom. There is something wrong with his will if he does not do so. Notice the transition from the second
