[^7] In this verse...
[^7] In this verse, God uses 'a people' ( qawmun ) for a singular noun, Ghaurath or 'Amr b. Jihash. In another verse, ﴾Indeed Abraham was a nation ( ummatan ) obedient to Allah . ﴿ (Q: 16/120). He uses 'a nation' ( umma ) for a singular noun, Abraham. He also, uses a plural pronoun for a singular noun in aya mubahala (Q: 3/61), when He speaks of 'our' women; Fatima was the only woman present at mubahala .
He writes, “Giving alms during saying one's prayer renders it void and null.” God is Gracious ! He knows the Islamic laws and gives decrees what is right and what is wrong but God and His Apostle do not know it! He says, “leadership ( wilayat ) is not derived from guardian ( wali ), concerning this verse***,*** ﴾O you who have faith! Do not take those who take your religion in derision and play, from among those who were given the Book before you, and the infidels, as friends ( awliya ) .
﴿ (Q: 5/57).” It means friend, companion, spouse and boss. Here it is impossible that 'guardian' would mean 'leader'; for no believer thinks of making the Jews or Christians 'caliph', but it is probable to make them friends.[^8] Regarding the meaning of the word wali , a term may have different meanings in different occasions. For avoiding such a mistake, God has used the exclusive word ' only ' in this verse (Q: 5/55).
He says, your guardian is only Allah, His Apostle and …” If it meant companion, friend, spouse and boss, the use of the word ' only ' would be unnecessary. We may have many friends and companions other than Allah and His Apostle. In the next verse (Q: 5/57), awliya means friends, but they are two different verses with different concepts, however, if we accepted it as 'leader' or 'emir' we would not go beyond the expectations.
God orders, ﴾O you who have faith, obey Allah and obey the Apostle, and those who vested with authority among you, and if you dispute concerning anything, refer it to Allah and the Apostle, if you have faith in Allah and the Last Day.﴿ (Q: 4/59). ﴾And obey Allah and His Apostle, and do not dispute, or, you will lose heart and your power will be gone.﴿ (Q: 8/46). Unfortunately, we ignored God's ordinance and began to fight each other.
Due to weakeness of Mulsims, the Europeans could defeat them in Andalusia and uproot Islam in the Iberian Peninsula in Europe. The Jews occupied Palestine and now they govern the Farther Mosque ( Masjid al-Aqsa ) the first Muslim Qibla.
