Transliteration:( Wa kazaalika ja'alnaa likulli Nabiyyin 'aduwwan minal mujrimeen; wa kafaa bi Rabbika haadiyanw wa naseeraa )
58. By this is meant that the infidels at all times had been enemies of the Prophets. Thus you should not become narrow-minded because of their enmity.
He always gains more publicity whose enemies are more. Hazrat Moosa (On whom be peace) was created in opposition to the Pharoah, Hazrat Ebrahim (On whom be peace) in opposition to Namrod,Â
The Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم in opposition to Abu Jahl so that obedience to the Prophet can be seen.
59. It is He who will help you. It should be remembered the help of those dear to Allah Almighty is indeed the help of the Divine.Â
These sages are the reflections of the help of Allah Almighty. Thus, this verse does not necessarily prove that one cannot take the help of a servant of Allah Almighty. Says Allah Almighty: "And help each other in righteousness and piety" (S5:V2).

The tafsir of Surah Furqan verse 31 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Furqan ayat 30 which provides the complete commentary from verse 30 through 31.
42. That is, it is not a new thing that the disbelievers have become your enemies, for it has always been so with all the former Prophets and Messengers. See also (Surah Al-Anaam, Ayat 112-113). This is inevitable because it is Our Law that the criminals will always oppose the truth. You should, therefore, pursue your mission with full confidence and determination without expecting any immediate results.
43. Guidance does not only imply bestowing of the knowledge of the truth, but it also means giving the right guidance at the right time to guide the Islamic movement on the right lines and to defeat the strategy and scheme of the enemies of Islam. Help means all kinds of moral, spiritual and material help to the followers of the truth in their conflict against falsehood. Thus, Allah is All Sufficient for the righteous people and they need no other support provided they have full faith in Allah and fight falsehood with all their energies and strength.
This meant to encourage the Prophet (peace be upon him), otherwise the previous assertion would have been very discouraging without this. It meant to say: Even if the unbelievers have become your enemies, you should continue your mission, for We shall guide you in every stage and situation and help you against them. We shall defeat all the schemes of your enemies and help you in every way in your conflict with falsehood. We shall provide you with material means also, but you should trust in Us and exert your utmost against falsehood.
