وَاذْكُرُوا إِذْ أَنْتُمْ قَلِيلٌ مُسْتَضْعَفُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ تَخَافُونَ أَنْ يَتَخَطَّفَكُمُ النَّاسُ فَآوَاكُمْ وَأَيَّدَكُمْ بِنَصْرِهِ وَرَزَقَكُمْ مِنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ﴿۲۶﴾ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَخُونُوا اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ وَتَخُونُوا أَمَانَاتِكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۲۷﴾ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا أَمْوَالُكُمْ وَأَوْلَادُكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ ﴿۲۸﴾ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ تَتَّقُوا اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ فُرْقَانًا وَيُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ ﴿۲۹﴾

﴾26﴿ And remember when you were few, weak in the land, fearing that people would snatch you away So He established you and strengthened you with His help and provided you with good things that you may be grateful
﴾27﴿ O you who believe, do not betray Allah and His Messenger, and do not betray one another's trusts, while you know
﴾28﴿ And know that your wealth and your children are a trial, and that with Allah is a great reward
﴾29﴿ O you who believe! If you fear Allah, He will grant you victory, remove from you your sins, and forgive you. And Allah is the Owner of great bounty

[26] In this verse as well, there is encouragement toward jihad, and it points out that when a person is granted these three blessings from Allah the Exalted, then jihad becomes obligatory upon him.
The first blessing is a place of residence, such as Madinah al-Munawwarah. The second is Allah's help through apparent means, like in the Battle of Badr. The third is lawful sustenance, such as the permissibility of war spoils.
In this verse, the intended meaning of gratitude is engaging in jihad.
(yatakhaṭṭafakumu al-nās) – "The people would snatch you away" – refers to the way a hawk scares off a bird’s chick or how an eagle lifts its prey in its claws.
[27] This is the fourth rule of jihad: it is not permissible for a warrior to commit any kind of betrayal.
Betrayal toward Allah the Exalted refers to decreasing or increasing His rulings. Betrayal toward the Messenger means going against his Sunnah.
The meaning of “trust” (amānah) includes all the duties that a servant is responsible for.
Betrayal is violating the truth through secret disloyalty or breaking promises, and this is a sign of hypocrisy, as mentioned by al-Raghib in Mufradāt.
[28] This explains the reason for the previous verse: betrayal often arises due to children or wealth, and that is considered a fitnah (trial).
So the meaning of fitnah here is either a test or something that leads to the committing of sins and acts of betrayal.
This trait is more commonly found in wealth than in children.
Similarly, it is mentioned in verse 9 of Surah Al-Munafiqun and in verse 15 of Surah At-Taghabun.
[29] This is the fifth rule of jihad. Its core message is that it is obligatory upon a warrior to practice taqwa (God-consciousness), as it serves as a protection from betrayal and tribulation (fitnah).
The meaning of taqwa is obeying the commands of Allah the Exalted, safeguarding oneself from His prohibitions, and avoiding doubtful matters.
In this verse, three benefits of taqwa are mentioned:
1. Attaining victory
2. Being distanced from evil and hardship
3. Forgiveness of sins
After this, the effects of taqwa are further explained. There are many interpretations regarding the meaning of furqān, and this word encompasses all of them—such as light in the heart through which one can distinguish truth from falsehood, victory, dominance, etc.
(sayyi'ātikum) refers to minor sins, undesirable traits, and hardships in three possible meanings.
(yaghfir lakum) includes the forgiveness of major sins.
(Dhū al-faḍl)—The Possessor of Grace—indicates that these three benefits are granted by the grace of Allah the Exalted, not solely by taqwa itself.
