إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ
except those who have faith and do righteous deeds, and enjoin one another to [follow] the truth, and enjoin one another to patience.
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 103:3
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 103:3] "Those who believe" refers to every believer, but his or her status as believer is restricted to the degree of conviction of faith and submission to the will of Allah. Baqarah: 177; An-am: 163; Bara-at: 20 and 26 refer to the believers who manifest highest degree of conviction and submission whose possessions and lives Allah has purchased in exchange of His pleasure according to verse 111 of Bara-at and Baqarah: 207; and they are those who declare that the Holy Prophet has a greater claim over them than they have on their own selves as per verse 6 of Ahzab and whom Allah has thoroughly purified (Ahzab: 33). According to Minhajus Sadiqin the Holy Prophet referred to his Ahl ul Bayt as those mentioned in this verse. Refer to the commentary of Baqarah: 2; Ali Imran: 7 and 101 to 115; Yunus: 35; Rad: 7;Maryam: 41 to 50; Fatir: 32.
