(56) وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ اللّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ فَإِنَّ حِزْبَ اللّهِ هُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ
56. " And whoever takes for (his) guardian Allah and His Messenger and those who believe (should know that he is victorious, because) surely the party of Allah are Triumphant. "
Commentary:
This verse is a complement for the content of the previous verse. It2 emphasizes and pursues its meaning. It informs the Muslims that: those who accept the guardianship of Allah (s.w.t.) and the Messenger (p.b.u.h.) and the believing persons whom were referred to in the previous verse, will become victorious, because they will be involved in the party of Allah, and the party of Allah are indeed the victors.
The verse says:
" And whoever takes for (his) guardian Allah and His Messenger and those who believe (should know that he is victorious, because) surely the party of Allah are Triumphant. "
In this verse, there is another frame of reference upon guardianship, to which was referred in the previous verse. The application of the phrase /hizbullah / (the party of Allah) and its ' triumph ' relates to the Islamic government, not to a simple and ordinary friendship. This itself indicates that the term / wilayah / in the verse leads to the sense of guardianship, government, and governorship of Islam and the Muslims. The evidence is that in the meaning of ' the party of Allah ' there lies a kind of formation, organization and society for securing the common goals.
