Surah An-Nisa (4:109)

هٰۤاَنۡتُمۡ هٰٓؤُلَۤاءِ جَادَلۡـتُمۡ عَنۡهُمۡ فِى الۡحَيٰوةِ الدُّنۡيَا فَمَنۡ يُّجَادِلُ اللّٰهَ عَنۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِ اَمۡ مَّنۡ يَّكُوۡنُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَكِيۡلًا‏ ۝

Haantum haola-i jadaltumAAanhum fee alhayati addunya famanyujadilu Allaha AAanhum yawma alqiyamati amman yakoonu AAalayhim wakeela

Here you are - those who argue on their behalf in this worldly life - but who will argue with Allāh for them on the Day of Resurrection, or who will then be their representative?

Tadabbur (Reflection)

Theme of the Ayat

The Finality of Judgment: Leaving the ultimate defense to God.

The Insight

The believers are asked, if they argue for the wrongdoers in this world, who will argue for them before God on Judgment Day?. **Do not become an advocate for corruption.** Do not waste your energy defending the indefensible. Focus on your own salvation and that of the clearly righteous.
