AYAH OF THE DAY WITH TAFSIR Jumada Al-Thani 9, 1434


أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ مِنْ هَمْزَهِ وَنَفْخِهِ وَنَفْثِهِ

سُوۡرَةُ المَائدة
قُلۡ يَـٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ لَسۡتُمۡ عَلَىٰ شَىۡءٍ حَتَّىٰ تُقِيمُواْ ٱلتَّوۡرَٮٰةَ وَٱلۡإِنجِيلَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ‌ۗ وَلَيَزِيدَنَّ كَثِيرً۬ا مِّنۡہُم مَّآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ طُغۡيَـٰنً۬ا وَكُفۡرً۬ا‌ۖ فَلَا تَأۡسَ عَلَى ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ (٦٨) إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَٱلصَّـٰبِـُٔونَ وَٱلنَّصَـٰرَىٰ مَنۡ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأَخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَـٰلِحً۬ا فَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ (٦٩)

I seek refuge with Allah, the Hearing, the Knowing, from the​

cursed Satan, from his coercion, lures to arrogance and poems​

​

Surah Al-Maeda
Say O People of the Scripture! Ye have naught (of guidance) till ye observe the Torah and the Gospel and that which was revealed unto you from your Lord. That which is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) from thy Lord is certain to increase the contumacy and disbelief of many of them. But grieve not for the disbelieving folk. (68) Lo! those who believe, and those who are Jews, and Sabaeans, and Christians - Whosoever believeth in Allah and the Last Day and doeth right - there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve. (69) 5:68-69
There is no Salvation Except through Faith in the Qur'an

Allah says:

قُلْ ... ​

say:
Allah says: O Muhammad, say,

... يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ لَسْتُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ ...​

O People of the Scripture! You have nothing...,
meaning no real religion,

... حَتَّىَ تُقِيمُواْ التَّوْرَاةَ وَالإِنجِيلَ وَمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ ...​

...till you act according to the Tawrah, the Injil, and what has (now) been sent down to you from your Lord (the Qur'an).''
until you adhere to and implement the Tawrah and the Injil. That is, until you believe in all the Books that you have that Allah revealed to the Prophets. These Books command following Muhammad and believing in his prophecy, all the while adhering to his Law.
Allah's statement,

... وَلَيَزِيدَنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنْهُم مَّا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ طُغْيَانًا وَكُفْرًا ...​

Verily, the revelation that has come to you from your Lord makes many of them increase in rebellion and disbelief.

... فَلاَ تَأْسَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ ﴿٦٨﴾​

So do not grieve for the people who disbelieve,
Do not be sad or taken aback by their disbelief.
Allah said next,

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ ... ​

Surely, those who believe,
referring to Muslims,

... وَالَّذِينَ هَادُواْ ...​

those who are the Jews,
who were entrusted with the Tawrah,

... وَالصَّابِؤُونَ ...​

and the Sabians...
a sect from the Christians and Magians who did not follow any particular religion, as Mujahid stated.

... وَالنَّصَارَى ...​

and the Christians,
As for the Christians, they are known and were entrusted with the Injil.

... مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ وعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ ﴿٦٩﴾​

whosoever believed in Allah and the Last Day, and worked righteousness, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
The meaning here is that if each of these groups believed in Allah and the Hereafter, which is the Day of Judgment and Reckoning, and performed good actions, which to be so, must conform to Muhammad's Law, after Muhammad was sent to all mankind and the Jinns. If any of these groups held these beliefs, then they shall have no fear of what will come or sadness regarding what they lost, nor will grief ever affect them.
We discussed a similar Ayah before in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:62).
