111- THEY WILL NOT CAUSE YOU ANY HARM BUT CAUSE YOU ANNOYANCE, AND IF THEY FIGHT YOU, THEY WILL TURN THEIR BACKS TO YOU AND WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED.

112- SHAME AND HUMILIATION WILL BE THEIRS WHEREVER THEY ARE TO BE FOUND, EXCEPT WHEN THEY ARE IN A COVENANT FROM ALLAH OR COVENANT FROM PEOPLE, AND THEY INCUR ALLAH’S WROTH AND THEY WILL BE DESTITUTE.  THIS IS BECAUSE THEY USED TO DISBELIEVE IN ALLAH’S AYAHS, KILLING THE PROPHETS IN DEFIANCE OF WHAT IS RIGHT.  THIS BECAUSE THEY DISOBEYED AND TRANSGRESSED BEYOND THE BOUNDS.

When Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him and the Muslims migrated to Medina, there were three Jewish tribes living there.  Some of the Jews embraced Islam such as Abd Allah Ibn Salam, Assad Ibn Abid, and Thalabah Ibn Showbah.  The majority of the Jews however did not.  The Muslims of the Medina, and the newly coming migrants had many commercial dealings with the Jews, and both groups co-existed peacefully. 

The three Jewish tribes had considerable military power, and they lived within fortified walls.  They considered themselves one group against the Muslims.

In these Ayahs, Allah the Highest reassures the Muslims that the Jews will not be able to cause them any harm, but only annoyance.  Also that if they fight the Muslims they will turn their backs to them and run away, and they will not have any support from Allah the Highest.  This was exactly what happened with them in Medina and Khyber.

Although Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him made a treaty with the Jews in Medina for safe co-existence, peace and no aggression with each other, and that neither group will support enemies of the other.  Yet the Jews did not keep their treaties as usual.  After each tribe betrayed the Muslims, they fought, and the three tribes were defeated.  Many of them left Medina and went to live with the Jews in Khyber, another Jewish town in Arabia.  The Muslims fought them there and defeated them there too. 

Allah the Highest tells us that they incur His wrath for a number of reasons:

1-    They disbelieved in Allah’s last prophet and messenger prayer and peace upon him.

2-    They killed many of their own prophets.  They also tried to kill Jesus peace upon him.  They also tried on more than one occasion to kill Mohamed prayer and peace upon him. One time by throwing s big rock over his head, then trying to poison him with a poisoned meat, then plotting to kill him and all the Muslims by raising a very large army from a number of tribes.

3-    Their continuous disobedience of Allah the Highest and transgression over his limits.

Allah the Highest makes them always humiliated and lives in destitution, except for the times when they have covenant from Allah or protection from people.  This is exactly what is happening with the Jewish state at present.

Allah’s support to us is not unconditioned.  In order for Allah the Highest to support us and fulfill His covenant with us, we should fulfill our covenant with Him.  We should be His viceroys on earth and the best nation that was raised to mankind, and then we will deserve Allah’s support.  Otherwise, we will be left to face our enemies alone, without our main ally, Allah the Highest, which is what is happening to us now. 

The Muslim nation is currently suffering the consequences of our neglect of our faith and ignoring Allah’s command, hence, Allah the Highest abandons us.  When we moved towards Allah, Allah moves towards us.  We can see our ailment; know the treatment, but still look under our feet, and for the immediate worldly gains.  We have to change, for Allah the Highest to change His treatment of us.
