55a. Allah hath
promised such of you as believe and do good work that He will surely make
them to succeed (the present rulers) in the earth even as He caused those who
were before them to succeed (others); and that He will surely establish for
them their religion which He hath approved for them, and will give them in
exchange safety after their fear.

Commentary
‘Istakh-lafa – (made them successors in Government,
granted them succession to authority), it is past tense from the word ‘istakhlaaf,
which has come out from khalaf. Khalaf means “to follow, to come
late”. ‘Istakhlaaf means “to appoint someone else at the place of
already appointed person”.
Layastakh-lifanna – {He will surely make (them) to
succeed (the present rulers)}.
It was commanded in the previous verse that the Messenger (grace
glory, blessings and peace be upon him) had no other charge than to convey the
Message plainly, which has been performed by him. Now it is your duty that you
should do your work. If you will follow the Sayings of the Messenger (grace
glory, blessings and peace be upon him), you will prosper and succeed in this
world and on the Day of Resurrection.
It has been mentioned clearly in this verse that what will be
provided to the obedient people of the Messenger (grace glory, blessings and peace
be upon him) in this world in future, so that short-sightedness of those, who
doubt in future of Islam, may be shown plainly. And it may be explained that if
you cannot know the circumstances of future by tokens, then lo! We describe you.
Listen! Allaah Almighty has promised strongly and finally with those people
who believe and do good works in accordance with the instructions of the
Messenger (grace glory, blessings and peace be upon him), that they will be granted
succession to authority upon the earth in future. And as different ancient
folks were made to succeed as rulers before them on the earth turn by turn,
like them; Allaah Almighty will make the Believers to succeed the
present rulers. And their religion, which is Allaah’s favorite religion,
will be established and strengthened. And they will be bestowed with the life
of peace and safety, in exchange of their present life of fear and dread.
This verse was revealed during that period when the Muslims had
been passing life full of different dangers. And the history is witness that this
prediction was fulfilled.
