Transliteration:( Laqad kaana lakum feehim uswatunhasanatul liman kaana yarjul laaha wal yawmal aakhir; wa many yatawalla fa innal laaha huwal ghaniyyul hameed )
“Certainly, there is for you in them [23] a good model for him who has hope in Allah [24] and the Last Day. But, whoever turns [25] away, then indeed, Allah is Self-Sufficient, All Praised.”
Refers to Prophet Ibrahim (عليه السلام) and his faithful companions, who exemplified the true spirit of religious loyalty. They remained firm in distancing themselves from disbelief, even in the face of personal and societal challenges.
The role model of Prophet Ibrahim (عليه السلام) is intended for those who yearn for closeness to Allah and believe in the Hereafter. Their frequent supplications, such as “Rabbana” (Our Lord), highlight their humility and continuous reliance on Allah.
Those who ignore this prophetic example and prefer alliances with disbelievers deviate from divine guidance. Yet, Allah remains Al-Ghaniyy (Self-Sufficient) and Al-Hameed (Worthy of All Praise) — completely independent of human obedience.
The tafsir of Surah As-Saff verse 6 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Saff ayat 5 which provides the complete commentary from verse 5 through 6.
(60:6) Indeed there is a good example for you in them; a good example for anyone who looks forward to Allah and the Last Day.[9] As for him who turns away, Allah is All-Sufficient, Immensely Praiseworthy.[10]
9. Who is hopeful of Allah and the Last Day: Who expects that one Day he will have to present himself before Allah and is hopeful that Allah will treat him benevolently and help him attain to success in the Hereafter.
10. That is, Allah has no need of such believers, who profess to believe in His religion as well as maintain friendly relations with His enemies. He is Self Sufficient: His Godhead does not require that they should acknowledge Him as God. He is Self-Praiseworthy, i.e. His being praiseworthy is not dependent on the people’s praising and glorifying Him. If they affirm the faith, they do so not for any good of Allah, but for their own good. And they cannot gain anything from their affirmation of the faith until they break off all connections of love and friendship with the enemies of Allah as the Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) and his companions did.
