8:41
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
And if they turn their backs, then know that Allah is your Protector. What an excellent Protector and what an excellent Helper!
English - Five Volume Translation
And [a]if they turn their backs, then know that Allah is your Protector. What an excellent Protector and what an excellent Helper![1129]
3:151; 22:79; 47:12.
Commentary:
The words, if they turn their backs, mean, "if they turn their backs and refuse to accept the offer that was being made to them," i.e. if they return to hostilities. Thus God here promises to help Muslims if the enemy should again resort to war. Such promises (which always proved true) could only be given by the All-Powerful God, and they served as unmistakable evidence of the fact that the Quran was the Word of God and not the fabrication of man.
