An-Nur 24:55

Word by word

وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمَا ٱسْتَخْلَفَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى ٱرْتَضَىٰ لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْنًا ۚ يَعْبُدُونَنِى لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِى شَيْـًٔا ۚ وَمَن كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْفَـٰسِقُونَ

Allāh has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them and that He will surely establish for them [therein] their religion which He has preferred for them and that He will surely substitute for them, after their fear, security, [for] they worship Me, not associating anything with Me. But whoever disbelieves after that - then those are the defiantly disobedient.

وعد الله بالنصر الذين آمنوا منكم وعملوا الأعمال الصالحة، بأن يورثهم أرض المشركين، ويجعلهم خلفاء فيها، مثلما فعل مع أسلافهم من المؤمنين بالله ورسله، وأن يجعل دينهم الذي ارتضاه لهم -وهو الإسلام- دينًا عزيزًا مكينًا، وأن يبدل حالهم من الخوف إلى الأمن، إذا عبدوا الله وحده، واستقاموا على طاعته، ولم يشركوا معه شيئًا، ومن كفر بعد ذلك الاستخلاف والأمن والتمكين والسلطنة التامة، وجحد نِعَم الله، فأولئك هم الخارجون عن طاعة الله.
