يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ امَنُواْ أَطِيعُواْ اللّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ
O you who believe! Obey Allah and His Messenger,
Allah commands His believing servants to obey Him and His Messenger and warns them against defying him and imitating the disbelievers who reject him.
Allah said,
وَلَا تَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ
and turn not away from him...,
neither refrain from obeying him or following his commands nor indulge in what he forbade,
وَأَنتُمْ تَسْمَعُونَ
while you are hearing.
after you gained knowledge of his Message,
وَلَا تَكُونُواْ كَالَّذِينَ قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ
