The Quran

Preface

لا تَجِدُ قَومًا يُؤمِنونَ بِاللَّهِ وَاليَومِ الآخِرِ يُوادّونَ مَن حادَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسولَهُ وَلَو كانوا آباءَهُم أَو أَبناءَهُم أَو إِخوانَهُم أَو عَشيرَتَهُم ۚ أُولٰئِكَ كَتَبَ في قُلوبِهِمُ الإيمانَ وَأَيَّدَهُم بِروحٍ مِنهُ ۖ وَيُدخِلُهُم جَنّاتٍ تَجري مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهارُ خالِدينَ فيها ۚ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنهُم وَرَضوا عَنهُ ۚ أُولٰئِكَ حِزبُ اللَّهِ ۚ أَلا إِنَّ حِزبَ اللَّهِ هُمُ المُفلِحونَ

Yusuf Ali

Thou wilt not find any people who believe in God and the Last Day, loving those who resist God and His Messenger, even though they were their fathers or their sons,¹ or their brothers, or their kindred. For such He has written Faith² in their hearts, and strengthened them with a spirit{³ from Himself. And He will admit them to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, to dwell therein (for ever). God will be well pleased with them, and they with Him.⁴ They are the Party⁵ of God. Truly it is the Party of God that will achieve Felicity.

If anyone believes in God and His goodness and justice, and in the Hereafter, in which all true values will be restored he will never love evil or wrongdoing or rebellion against God, even if these things are found in his nearest kith and kin.
Faith in God is indelibly written on the tablets of their hearts and they can never be false to God.
Cf. 2:87 and 253, where it is said that God strengthened the Prophet Jesus with the Holy Spirit. Here we learn that all good and righteous men are strengthened by God with the Holy Spirit. If anything, the phrase used here is stronger, “a spirit from Himself'. Whenever anyone offers his heart in faith and purity to God, God accepts it, engraves that Faith on the seeker’s heart, and further fortifies him with the divine spirit, which we can no more define adequately than we can define in human language the nature and attributes of God.
Again we have the doctrine of God’s Good Pleasure as the highest goal of man, the spiriuial heaven which he achieves by a life of purity and faith. He not only attains God’s Good Pleasure as the crown of his felicity, but his own nature is so far transformed to the pattern of God’s original creation that his own good pleasure is in nothing but in God’s Good Pleasure. The mutual good pleasure shows the heights to which man can attain. (R).
This is in antithesis to the Party of the Evil One, mentioned in verse 19 above. That Party of Evil will perish, but while it has its run in the scheme of the present world, the Party of Truth and Reality may be Figuratively called the Party of God, even though all Creation is God’s in another sense.
