سُوْرَةُ الْاَنْعَامِ
Surah Al-An'aam (6) — Ayah 82
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوٓا۟ إِيمَـٰنَهُم بِظُلْمٍ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱلْأَمْنُ وَهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ ﴿82﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
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.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
82. Those who believe [85] and do not mix their faith with injustice (shirk), it is they who will have security, and they are rightly guided.

The Meaning of Zulm is Shirk:
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud ؓ says that when this verse was revealed, it was very burdensome for the Companions (because they understood zulm in its general meaning, i.e., sin or injustice) and they said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "Who among us has never committed zulm?" The Prophet ﷺ informed them that here the word zulm is used in its specific meaning, i.e., shirk, as it is mentioned in Surah Luqman that Luqman advised his son, "O my son, never commit shirk, for shirk is the greatest zulm." [بخاري۔ كتاب التفسير، نيز كتاب الايمان باب ظلم دون ظلم نيز كتاب الانبياء۔ باب قول الله تعالىٰ : __QUR_0__ ]
Refutation of the Rejecters of Hadith and the People of the Quran:
From this hadith, it is understood that although the language of the noble Companions ؓ was Arabic and the Quran was also revealed in Arabic, sometimes they faced difficulty in understanding the correct meaning of a verse. And this is the meaning of ﴿وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَيُزَكِّيْهِمْ﴾. However, there are some people among the Muslims who, disregarding the hadith of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, try to determine the meaning of the Quran solely with the help of the dictionary; they should consider the outcome of their belief. There are two opinions regarding this verse: one is that this sentence is also the statement of Sayyiduna Ibrahim ؑ and is part of his discussion with his people, because in the previous verse, peace and security are also mentioned, and in this verse as well. And this peace and security is only for those who avoid shirk. The second opinion is that this is the statement of Allah Ta'ala Himself, which, as a reality, has been mentioned here in the midst of the story of Sayyiduna Ibrahim ؑ.
