📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Qasas – Verse 5

"And We desired that We should be gracious [9] to those weakened and make them leaders [10] and should make them the inheritors of their country and wealth [11]."

✅ [9] Divine Mercy Upon the Oppressed

This verse reveals Allah’s divine will to show grace and mercy to the oppressed Bani Isra’il. Though they were subjugated and humiliated, Allah had planned their upliftment, showing that oppression never lasts forever under His wisdom.

✅ [10] From Weakness to Leadership

Allah intended to raise those who were weakened into leaders—giving them honor, strength, and authority after their period of trial. This transformation is a powerful message of hope for any oppressed community.

✅ [11] Inheriting Land and Wealth

The Bani Isra’il were not only freed but also became the inheritors of Firawn’s lands and riches. This highlights that true power and wealth belong to Allah, and He transfers it to whomever He wills, often as a reward for patience and faith.
