Transliteration:( Innaman najwaa minash shaitaani liyahzunal lazeena aamanoo wa laisa bidaaarrihim shai'an illaa bi-iznil laah; wa 'alal laahi falyatawakkalil mu'minoon )
39. This means those committees and counselling which are there for evil work, these committees are satanic and the counselling of the devil. Thus, those committees and counselling are for religious work and are faith inspiring. Before declaring any gathering to be lawful and unlawful, see what work they are doing. The gathering doing good work should be regarded as good and the one doing evil work should be called evil. Thus, the gathering of Meelad Shareef is one that inspires faith. In it, blessed discussions take place from where we have obtained faith.
40. That is a devil, or giving such counselling. This tells us that any work, which causes harm to the believer, is indeed evil, and the devil is party to it.
41. In it, the believers are being consoled that they should not become grieved by the counselling of these evil wretches because they will not be able to cause any harm to you. Whatever hardship that will come to you is from Allah Almighty, and in it there are thousands of wisdoms.
42. Trust is of two types: general trust and specific trust. To place trust in Allah Almighty without consideration for material things is a specific trust, while giving consideration for material things as well as placing trust in Allah Almighty is general trust.
The tafsir of Surah Mujadilah verse 10 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Mujadilah ayat 8 which provides the complete commentary from verse 8 through 10.
25. This has been said so that if a Muslim watches some other people whispering, which causes him the doubt that it is directed against him, he should not feel so offended as to start planning a counter-attack on the basis of mere suspicion, or begin to nourish grief, or malice, or undue concern in his heart. He should understand that no one can harm him except by Allah’s leave. This conviction would inspire him with such confidence that he would feel delivered of many a useless worry and imaginary danger and leaving the wicked to themselves would remain engaged in peacefully doing his duty. The believer who has trust in Allah is neither a faint-hearted person, whose peace of mind could be ruined by every doubt and suspicions nor so shallow and mean-minded as would lose his cool when confronted by the evildoers and start behaving in an unjust manner himself.
