لَا
يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ : Do not let hatred / no offense
قوله
تعالى:" يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا قَوَّامِينَ لِلَّـهِ
شُهَدَاءَ بِالْقِسْطِ ۖوَلَا
يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَآنُ قَوْمٍ عَلَىٰ أَلَّا
تَعْدِلُوا ۚاعْدِلُوا
هُوَ أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ ۖوَاتَّقُوا
اللَّـهَ ۚإِنَّ
اللَّـهَ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ"
(سورة المائدة:٨)
TAFSIR IBN KATHIR:
In this verse, Allah reminded his servant to always give fair
judgement and be just. And not to let enmity or hatred towards a group of
people to be the boundary that limits the fair treatment that those people
deserve. Allah proceeded the verse by emphasizing the importance of being just,
and mentioned that the act of justice towards others is nearer to Taqwa. Allah
reminded his servants to have Taqwa, as Allah is Well Acquainted with what we
do.
Therefore, the lesson from this verse is that, no matter who we are
dealing with, either with Muslims or non- Muslims, we should be fair and give
the same treatment to all. Just because a person does not have the same faith
as we do, that does not mean that we should degrade him or insult him. Rather,
we must have a good relationship with him regardless of our differences of
opinion. Allah commands us to do so in order to show good manners as Muslims,
and to establish a stronger bond between Muslims and non- Muslims.
TAFSIR ATH-THABARI:
Based on the opinion of Abu Ja’far, he
interprets the verse " يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا
كُونُوا قَوَّامِينَ لِلَّـهِ شُهَدَاءَ بِالْقِسْطِ ۖوَلَا
يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَآنُ قَوْمٍ عَلَىٰ أَلَّا تَعْدِلُوا ۚ (O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allah and be just
witnesses and let not the enmity and hatred of others make you avoid justice)
with the meaning that to set the righteousness and truth for the cause of Allah
and to be a justice witness to everyone whether they are our friends or enemy.
This part of the verse stresses the importance of practicing justice to
everyone that we encounter with especially on the matter of being a witness for
them. The words وَلَا
يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ which mean “do not make your hatred” shows how human should not get
themselves influenced with their bad feeling in acting towards others. This
verse is said to be revealed to the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him during
the time when the Jews (Jews of Khaibar) wanted to kill him.
TAFSIR FI ZILAL
AL-QURAN
According to Syed Qutb, Muslims should be justice towards the
people of other religion and deal with them without affected to love or hatred.
It is justice based on the duty of remaining steadfast in devotion
to God alone. No influences are ever allowed to tilt the balance of justice,
especially when believers are mindful that God watches over them and knows what
lies at the bottom of their hearts.
Allah also reminds the believers too not allowing hatred towards
those who was preventing them to enter Mecca influence their action to be
injustice and aggression against those people. Verily, this is indeed a
self-restrain and a high tolerance and by this they were elevated by the Divine
system.
Syed Qutb also mentioned the two stages in dealing with the
unbelievers, the first stage requiring them not to launch aggression. The
second stage is to maintain the justice despite of hatred and hostility feelings
they felt. The first stage illustrates the passive attitude that require them
to self-restrain while the second stage guide them to have a proactive attitude
ensuring justice to people who are hostile to the believers and detested by
them.
(لا يجرمنكم)
Thus, the term La Yajrimannakum brings meaning “Never allow
your hatred” which meant to the prohibition of being injustice influenced by
hatred and hostile.
No human being can attain this standard unless he deals in such a
matter directly with God. This is the result that comes about when people are
steadfast in their devotion to God, addressing their feelings purely to Him,
fearing none but Him, and realizing that He knows their innermost thoughts. No
earthly consideration can lift human beings to such a high standard and keep
them there. It is a standard achievable only through absolute dedication to
God.
قوله
تعالى:" وَيَقَوْمِ لَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شِقَاقِي أَن يُصِيبَكُم
مِّثْلُ مَا أَصَابَ قَوْمَ نُوحٍ أَوْ قَوْمَ هُودٍ أَوْ قَوْمَ صَالِحٍ ۚ
وَمَا قَوْمُ لُوطٍ مِّنكُم بِبَعِيد "
(سورة هود:٨٩)
TAFSIR IBN KATHIR:
This verse mentioned the story of Prophet Shu’aib and his people.
His people were non- believers and were against Prophet Shu’aib. Prophet Shu’aib
warned his people that just because of their enmity and hatred towards Prophet
Shu’aib, they should not let themselves to continue their ignorance and
disbelief which leads them towards being misguided. Or else, their fate shall
be repeated as what have overcame the people of Nuh, Hud Salih, and Lut.
A two-way relationship is important where both parties, Muslims and
non- Muslims, should not hold a grudge against each other. Instead, both should
tolerate and compromise with each other in certain situations in order to build
up a good relationship. Since the Muslims were commanded by Allah to do good
towards non- Muslims, that does not mean that the non- Muslims should ignore
this command. The lesson from the above verse is that, non- Muslims too should
have effort to establish a good bond with the Muslims, regardless of their
differences of faith.
TAFSIR ATH-THABARI:
This verse talks about the advice given to the Prophet Syu’aib to
his people. According to the Tafsir at-Thabari, Prophet Syu’aib was advising
his people saying that do not let the hostility between them and the prophet
due to the teaching that he brought making the people refuse to accept the
truth and remain with the wrong practice of their late generations that will
lead to the punishment from Allah. He wanted his people to take lessons from
the past people and not commit the same mistakes. The term وَلَا
يَجْرِمَنَّكُم is
being defined with several meaning as some scholar refers it to the meaning of
“do not let the clash” while some said it is “do not let the argument or
anger”. Overall, this part of the verse saying about how people should let
themselves be influence with their emotional feeling in dealing with the
others. Every people must think of the consequences of every action that they
did so that there is no regret in the end.
TAFSIR FI ZILAL AL-QURAN
This verse portrays the effort of Prophet Syuaib in reminding his
people the truth. He reminded them about the doom befell on the people of
Prophet Nuh, Hud, Soleh and Lut. This may open their hardened hearts in a way
which rational, cool and well-argued reminders may not influence their hearts.
(لا يجرمنكم)
The term La yajrimannakum means ‘let not your disagreement’
which portrays Prophet Syuib words to his people. He tells them that they must not let their opposition to him harden
their attitude of blind rejection. He says to them plainly that he fears that
they may bring upon themselves a doom which is not unlike that which befell
earlier communities. He reminds them especially of the people of Lot who lived
close by and who had recently been destroyed.
