 54b. ذَٰلِكَ فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ

55. إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ

ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَهُمْ رَٰكِعُونَ

56. وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ فَإِنَّ حِزْبَ ٱللَّهِ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ

And Allah is All-Embracing,   All-Knowing. 55.  Your guardian can be only Allah; and His Messenger and those who believe, who establish worship and pay the poor-due, and bow down (in prayer). 56.  And whoso taketh Allah and His Messenger and those who believe for guardian (will know that), then lo! the party of Allah, are they that shall be victorious.

Commentary

Raaki-‘uun – {the persons who bow down (in prayer)}, It is plural of Raaki’ and its origin is Rakuu’, which means to bow down, to prostrate, to request humbly.

Hiz-bAllaahi – (the party of Allah), the company, the division, the community or the class of those people, who are obedient servants of Allah Almighty.

Allah Almighty appoints the people for safety and support of His religion (Islam), to whom He will. They should be thankful to Allah Almighty, who say themselves “Muslim”, that He has selected them as the supporters of Islam. If they will be renegades from Islam, then it would be meant that they do not have manners to hold up Islam, and they are not able to be sanctioned as supporters and protectors of Islam. So Allah Almighty will bring some other people for the greatness and magnificence of Islam.

It is the Grace of Allah Almighty which He gives unto whom He will and gets the work of eminence of Islam from whom He will. His mercy and kindness is unlimited, and He is All-Knowing about the capabilities of everyone. Remember! Your real friend, and supporter can be only Allah Almighty; His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and those who believe, who establish worship and pay the poor-due, and bow down in prayer. These are the people, who are helpers and assistants of Allah Almighty. These are “the party of Allah Almighty. Bear in mind! This party of Allah Almighty and His helpers shall be victorious.
