📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Isra’ – Verse 74

"And if We had not kept you firm, it was near that you would have inclined towards them a little."

✅ [162] Divine Protection from Inclination

This verse affirms that even a slight inclination toward the disbelievers’ demands never occurred—and would not have occurred, solely due to Allah’s special protection.

  • The wording "if We had not kept you firm" points to the Divine safeguarding of the Prophet ﷺ.

  • It implies that without such Divine firmness, even the noblest human being might have approached error slightly, but the Prophet ﷺ was preserved completely.
