150. 1. This subject has already been mentioned before; it is being repeated here because, taking advantage of the defeat at Uhud, some disbelievers or hypocrites were advising the Muslims to return to their ancestral religion. In such a situation, the Muslims were told that obedience to the disbelievers leads to destruction and loss. Success lies only in obedience to Allah, and there is no better helper than Him.
