Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 3 Ali 'Imran, Ayat 195-195
فَاسۡتَجَابَ لَهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ اَنِّىۡ لَاۤ اُضِيۡعُ عَمَلَ عَامِلٍ مِّنۡكُمۡ مِّنۡ ذَكَرٍ اَوۡ اُنۡثٰىۚ بَعۡضُكُمۡ مِّنۡۢ بَعۡضٍۚ فَالَّذِيۡنَ هَاجَرُوۡا وَاُخۡرِجُوۡا مِنۡ دِيَارِهِمۡ وَاُوۡذُوۡا فِىۡ سَبِيۡلِىۡ وَقٰتَلُوۡا وَقُتِلُوۡا لَاُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنۡهُمۡ سَيِّاٰتِهِمۡ وَلَاُدۡخِلَنَّهُمۡ جَنّٰتٍ تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُۚ ثَوَابًا مِّنۡ عِنۡدِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ عِنۡدَهٗ حُسۡنُ الثَّوَابِ
﴿3:195﴾
(3:195) Their Lord answered the Prayer thus: "I will not suffer the work
of any of you, whether male or female, to go to waste; each of you is from the
other.139 Those who emigrated and were driven out from their homesteads
and were persecuted in My cause, and who fought and were slain, indeed I shall
wipe out their evil deeds from them and shall certainly admit them to the gardens
beneath which rivers flow." This is their reward with their Lord; and with Allah
lies the best reward.140
Notes
139. All humans are equal in the sight of God. God does not have separate
criteria for judging the male and the female, the master and the slave, the
high and the low.
140. It is reported that some non-Muslims came to the Prophet and said that
Moses had produced his staff and had been endowed with the miracle of the shining
hand see( Qur'an 7: 108; 20: 22), and that Jesus restored sight to the blind
and cured the lepers see (Qur'an 31 49). Other Prophets had also been granted
miracles. What miracles, they enquired, could the Prophet perform? In response
the Prophet recited all the verses from (verse 190 )to the end of this surah,
adding that that was what he had brought.
