Commentary
Your relatives will not benefit you, nor will your children, those whom you support the disbelievers for their sake and draw near to them in defense of them. Then it is said, 'On the Day of Resurrection, He will separate between you and your relatives and your children, on the Day when a man will flee from his brother...' The verse. So what is wrong with you that you reject the right of Allah in consideration of the right of those who will flee from you tomorrow?
Their opinion in supporting the disbelievers is wrong, both in regard to the state of those whom they supported initially, and then in regard to the state of those who necessitated that support secondly. They should realize that what they have undertaken, from any perspective you examine it, is found to be false.
It has been recited: 'He will separate' and 'He separates,' in the passive form. And 'He will separate' and 'He separates,' in the active form, which is Allah, the Exalted and Majestic. And 'We separate' and 'We separate,' with the pronoun.
