Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (To you is your religion and to me is my religion)]
Then He, the Exalted, said: [Al-Kafirun: 5] To you is the religion that you are upon and by which you profess faith, and to me is my religion. So I am disavowed of your religion, and you are disavowed of my religion.Some of the scholars of knowledge said: And this surah was revealed before jihad was made obligatory, because after jihad, a disbeliever is not permitted to remain on his religion except by paying the jizyah if he is from the People of the Book, and according to the stronger opinion: or from others.
But the correct view is that it does not contradict the command to fight in jihad,Until we say: that it has been abrogated. Rather, it remains in effect, and we must disavow the religion of the Jews, the Christians, and the polytheists at all times. For this reason, we permit the Jews and Christians to remain on their religion by paying the jizyah, while we worship Allah and they worship what they worship.
In any case: This surah contains disavowal and abandonment of the worship of other than Allah (Mighty and Majestic), whether in the object of worship or in the type of action. It contains sincerity to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and that we worship none but Allah alone, having no partner.
And here ends what was facilitated of the discourse on this surah and the surah al-Kawthar.
Then He, the Exalted, said:
For you is your religion, and for me is my religion."
