    📖 Commentary of Verse 61 – Surah Al-Ma’idah

    “And when they come to you [184], they say, ‘We believe.’ But they entered as disbelievers and left as disbelievers [185]. And Allah knows well what they are concealing [186].”

    ✅ [184] Reason for the Revelation

    This verse was revealed about a group of Jews who approached the Holy Prophet ﷺ outwardly expressing belief, while inwardly they remained disbelievers. Their declaration of faith was superficial and insincere.

    ✅ [185] The Ineffectiveness of False Company

    The verse teaches that an unfortunate person does not benefit from the company of the righteous if their heart is not sincere. Like a bucket full of impurity cannot purify water from a well, a hypocrite’s presence among believers does not transform their disbelief. Despite being in the company of the Prophet ﷺ, these people did not change inwardly.

    ✅ [186] Allah’s Knowledge of Hidden Intentions

    Allah knows all that is hidden in the hearts. The verse reassures the Prophet ﷺ that Allah is fully aware of the secret intentions and plans of his enemies, highlighting His protection and support.
