Believers Unhesitatingly Obey God and His Messenger
24:51 The only utterance of the believers, whenever invited to GOD and His messenger to judge in their affairs, is to say, “ We hear and we obey.” These are the winners.
24:52 Those who obey GOD and His messenger, and reverence GOD and observe Him, these are the triumphant ones.
24:53 They swear by GOD, solemnly, that if you commanded them to mobilize, they would mobilize. Say, “ Do not swear. Obedience is an obligation. GOD is fully Cognizant of everything you do.”
24:54 Say, “Obey GOD, and obey the messenger.” If they refuse, then he is responsible for his obligations, and you are responsible for your obligations. If you obey him, you will be guided. The sole duty of the messenger is to deliver (the message).
God Sends His Teachings to us Through His Messengers
28:50 If they fail to respond to you, then know that they follow only their own opinions. Who is farther astray than those who follow their own opinions, without guidance from GOD? GOD does not guide such wicked people.
