قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

تفرقه؛ آفت امت‌های خداپرست

محتوای این آیه» یک حکم عمومی و همگانی در بارةٌ تمام افراد تفرقه‌انداز است که با ایجاد انواع بدعت‌ها میان بندگان خداء بذر نفاق و اختلاف می‌پاشند؛ اعم از آنها که در امت‌های پیشین بودند یا کسانی که در این امت‌اند. اگر مشاهده می‌کنیم که در روایات اهل بیت(ع) و همچنین اهل تسنن نقل شده است که این آیه اشاره به گمراهان و تفرقه‌اندازان و بدعت‌گذاران این امت استء از قبیل بیان مصداق است؛ زیرا اگر این مصداق‌ها بیان نمی‌شدء ممکن بود عده‌ای تصور کنند که منظور از آَنْ منحصراً دیگران هستند و خود را تبرئه کنند. در روایتی از امام باقر(ع) که در ذیل این آیه نقل شده» می‌خوانیم: این آیه اشاره به کسانی است که از امیرالمژمنین جدا شدند و به دسته‌های مختلف تقسیم گردیدند.» روایاتی از پیامبر اسلام(ص) که پراکندگی این امت را پیش‌بینی کرده نیز این حقیقت را تأیید می‌کند.

  • وَلَا يَصُدُّنَّكَ عَنْ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ بَعْدَ إِذْ أُنزِلَتْ إِلَيْكَ وَٱدْعُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ

    And never let them avert you from the verses of Allah after they have been revealed to you. And invite [people] to your Lord. And never be of those who associate others with Allah.

  • أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَٰٓؤُا۟ شَرَعُوا۟ لَهُم مِّنَ ٱلدِّينِ مَا لَمْ يَأْذَنۢ بِهِ ٱللَّهُ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةُ ٱلْفَصْلِ لَقُضِىَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

    Or have they other deities who have ordained for them a religion to which Allah has not consented? But if not for the decisive word, it would have been concluded between them. And…

  • فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ ٱلْقَيِّمِ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِىَ يَوْمٌ لَّا مَرَدَّ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصَّدَّعُونَ

    So direct your face toward the correct religion before a Day comes from Allah of which there is no repelling. That Day, they will be divided.

  • مُّذَبْذَبِينَ بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ لَآ إِلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَلَآ إِلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُۥ سَبِيلًا

    Wavering between them, [belonging] neither to the believers nor to the disbelievers. And whoever Allah leaves astray - never will you find for him a way.

  • وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ نَسُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فَأَنسَىٰهُمْ أَنفُسَهُمْ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْفَٰسِقُونَ

    And be not like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget themselves. Those are the defiantly disobedient.

  • إِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْإِسْلَٰمُ وَمَا ٱخْتَلَفَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْعِلْمُ بَغْيًۢا بَيْنَهُمْ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ
