    📖 Commentary / Tafsir of Surah Aal-e-Imran – Verse 68

    "Surely, the most worthy of people in relation to Ebrahim are those who followed him [145], including this Nabi (Muhammad) and those who believe. And Allah is the Guardian of the believers [146]."

    ✅ [145] True Followers of Ibrahim (AS)

    This verse declares that the true heirs of Ibrahim (AS) are:

    • His sincere followers before Islam, and

    • The Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his Ummah, who continue all the practices and beliefs of Ibrahim (AS).

    Key lessons:

    1. Obedience, not lineage, determines nearness to Prophets:

      • Being from a Prophet's progeny is not enough.

      • Kanaan, the son of Nuh (AS), was not counted among the righteous due to disbelief.

      • Therefore, Yahud and Nasara who deviate from Ibrahim’s true monotheism are not of his legacy.

    2. Islam revives the practices of Ibrahim (AS):

      • Rituals such as Hajj, sacrifice (Qurbani), circumcision, and keeping the beard stem from Ibrahim (AS).

      • These are not practiced in Christianity or Judaism in their current forms, hence only Muslims truly follow him.

    ✅ [146] Allah is the Guardian of the Believers

    From this, two insights arise:

    1. Divine blessings are connected with the righteous:

      • Allah’s mercy is often extended to others through their association with the pious.

    2. Believers are never truly forsaken:

      • Even if a Muslim sins, he still remains under Allah’s care due to his devotion to the Prophet ﷺ.

      • Allah is the Wali (Guardian) of the believers—they are never abandoned due to their attachment to His Beloved Prophet.
