Ayat 111. And when I (Allah) put in the hearts of Al-Hawarieen (the disciples) [of 'Iesa PBUH (Jesus)] to believe in Me and My Messenger, they said: "We believe. And bear witness that we are Muslims."
Tafseer of Surah Al Ma'idah Ayat 111. "And behold! I inspired the disciples to have faith in Me and Mine Messenger. they said, ´We have faith, and do thou bear witness that we bow to Allah as Muslims´". "Thou" refers to Jesus, who is being addressed by his Disciples. Cf. 3:52 . Before or after Muhammad's [SAWW](PBUH) life on this earth, all who bowed to Allah's Will were Muslims, and their religion is Islam, Cf. 3:52.
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or is oppressed". A man enquired: "O Messenger of Allah! I help him when he is oppressed, but how can I help him when he is an oppressor?'' He [SAWW](PBUH) said, "You can keep him from committing oppression. That will be your help to him". [Al-Bukhari Volume 3, Book 43, Hadith Number 624].
Lesson : This Hadith contains a very comprehensive injunction to eliminate disturbance and tyranny in the Muslim society. It not only ordains helping the oppressed but also encourages people endowed with moral courage to stop the oppressor's oppression. Doing so requires great courage and boldness, but Muslims would be able to do full justice to their duty of wishing well to their fellow Muslims when they develop the moral courage to stop the oppressor from tyranny, or at least protest against it verbally.
