هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّIt is He Who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth.`Guidance' refers to the true narrations, beneficial faith and true religion that the Messenger came with.`religion of truth' refers to the righteous, legal deeds that bring about benefit in this life and the Hereafter.لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَto make it (Islam) superior over all religions, even though the idolators hate (it). It is recorded in the Sahih that the Messenger of Allah said,إِنَّ اللهَ زَوَى لِي الاَْرْضَ مَشَارِقَهَا وَمَغَارِبَهَا وَسَيَبْلُغُ مُلْكُ أُمَّتِي مَا زُوِيَ لِييِمنْهَاAllah made the eastern and western parts of the earth draw near for me (to see), and the rule of my Ummah will extend as far as I saw.Imam Ahmad recorded from Tamim Ad-Dari that he said,"I heard the Messenger of Allah saying,لَيَبْلُغَنَّ هَذَا الاَْمْرُ مَا بَلَغَ اللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ وَلَا يَتْرُكُ اللهُ بَيْتَ مَدَرٍ وَلَا وَبَرٍ إِلاَّ أَدْخَلَهُ هَذَا الدِّينَ يُعِزُّ عَزِيزًا وَيُذِلُّ ذَلِيلً عِزًّا يُعِزُّ اللهُ بِهِ الاِْسْلَمَ وَذُلاًّ يُذِلُّ اللهُ بِهِ الْكُفْرThis matter (Islam) will keep spreading as far as the night and day reach, until Allah will not leave a house made of mud or hair, but will make this religion enter it, while bringing might to a mighty person (a Muslim) and humiliation to a disgraced person (who rejects Islam). Might with which Allah elevates Islam (and its people) and disgrace with which Allah humiliates disbelief (and its people).Tamim Ad-Dari (who was a Christian before Islam) used to say,"I have come to know the meaning of this Hadith in my own people. Those who became Muslims among them acquired goodness, honor and might. Disgrace, humiliation and Jizyah befell those who remained disbelievers."
