The Cattle · Meccan · Juz 7 · Page 138

ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوٓا۟ إِيمَـٰنَهُم بِظُلْمٍ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱلْأَمْنُ وَهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ ﴿82﴾
It is those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh and worship none but Him Alone) and confuse not their belief with Zulm (wrong i.e. by worshipping others besides Allâh), for them (only) there is security and they are the guided.
ٱلَّذِينَ alladhīna Those who
ءَامَنُوا۟ āmanū believed
وَلَمْ walam and (did) not
يَلْبِسُوٓا۟ yalbisū mix
إِيمَـٰنَهُم īmānahum their belief
بِظُلْمٍ biẓul'min with wrong
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ulāika those
لَهُمُ lahumu for them
ٱلْأَمْنُ l-amnu (is) the security
وَهُم wahum and they
مُّهْتَدُونَ muh'tadūna (are) rightly guided

82. 1. In this verse, "zulm" means shirk, as is clear from the translation. In the hadith, it is mentioned that when this verse was revealed, the companions understood "zulm" in its general sense (shortcomings and mistakes, sins and excesses, etc.), which made them worried, and they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Who among us has not committed zulm?" He ﷺ said, "This zulm does not mean what you think; rather, it means shirk, just as Luqman (peace be upon him) said to his son (اِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيْمٌ) 31. Luqman:13) Indeed, shirk is a great zulm (Sahih Bukhari)."
