88. What aileth you that ye are become two parties
regarding the hypocrites, when Allah cast them back (to disbelief) because of
what they earned? Seek ye to guide him whom Allah hath sent astray? And he
whom Allah sendeth astray, for him thou (O Muhammad) canst not find a way.
89a. They long that ye should disbelieve even as they
disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends
from them till they forsake their homes in the Way of Allah;

Commentary
Munaafi-qiina - it is plural of Munaafi-q which means hypocrites, which are being discussed since many
lessons back. They are called hypocrites, whose outward appearance and inward
qualities are not uniform, whose outward behavior is only for showing. In the
beginning of Islam, these people were of two kinds.
- Those
persons, who used to say themselves Muslims, but actually they were
infidels by hearts.
- The
people, who were infidels, but they wished to keep association, union and
friendly relationship with the Muslims.
Now
the discussion about the second kind of group begins.
In
the beginning of Islam, some people had not embraced Islam, but they used to
tie friendship and love with the Muslims. They desired that whenever Muslims
fight against the infidels, they should leave them considering their friends,
and their wealth and lives might be remained safe. When it was known that their
aim is only to save themselves from any kind of loss and to hurt the Muslims,
then the Muslims became two parties. One of them used to say, “we should give
up meeting the fiends of their own intentions cordially”. The other party used
to say, “What do they mar us? May be some of them become Muslims in imitation”.
It
has been declared in this verse that it was useless to meet the selfish people
cordially. Their deeds are too much bad that Allah Almighty
has kept them deprived of such blessing like Islam and returned them towards
infidelity. Nobody can guide them towards the Straight Path, to whom Allah
Almighty sends astray due to punishment of their wicked deeds. Actually, they
wish to bring you also back to infidelity. But you have embraced Islam and even
left your birth-place. Therefore, as long as they also do not leave their
native land and do not get ready to sacrifice their wealth and property, wives
and children, rest and comfort (even everything), you should never make them
friends.
