وَمِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ
أُمَّةٌ يَهْدُونَ بِٱلْحَقِّ
وَبِهِۦ يَعْدِلُونَ
And of those
whom We have
created, there is
a community who
guides (others)
with the truth,
and establishes
justice therewith.
Allah said,
وَمِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ
And of those whom We have created
in reference to some nations,
أُمَّةٍ
a community
that stands in truth, in words and action,
يَهْدُونَ بِالْحَقِّ
who guides (others) with the truth
they proclaim it and call to it,
وَبِهِ يَعْدِلُونَ
and establishes justice therewith
adhere to it themselves and judge by it. It was reported that this Ayat refers to the Ummah of Muhammad . In the Two Sahihs, it is recorded that Mu`awiyah bin Abi Sufyan said that the Messenger of Allah said,
لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ
مِنْ أُمَّتِي ظَاهِرِينَ
عَلَى الْحَقِّ لَا
يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ
وَلَا مَنْ خَالَفَهُمْ
حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَة
There will always be a group of my Ummah who are apparent on the Truth, unabated by those who fail or oppose them, until the (Last) Hour commences.
In another narration, the Messenger said,
حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللهِ
وَهُمْ عَلَى ذَلِك
Until Allah’s command (the Last Hour) comes while they are still like this
and in yet another narration,
وَهُمْ بِالشَّام
And they will dwell in Ash-Sham (Greater Syria)
