Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
The meaning is that when Islam came, the lives of its followers were spent in such a state of estrangement that people harbored hatred towards them,
and considered associating with them to be a disgrace for themselves,
and they would inflict harm upon them.
In exactly such a state of estrangement, in the final era of Islam, its followers will be found.
But glad tidings and congratulations are for those people who embraced Islam in this state of estrangement, and for those who will embrace it in its final era,
and who, bearing the harm from enemies, will continue to serve and propagate it with their lives and wealth.
