Surah Muhammad Tafseer

فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ

So would you perhaps, if you turned away,

meaning, from Jihad and you withdrew from it.

أَن تُفْسِدُوا فِي الاَْرْضِ وَتُقَطِّعُوا أَرْحَامَكُمْ

spread corruption on earth, and sever your ties of kinship.

which means, would you then go back to your old practices of the time of ignorance:shedding blood and severing kinship ties

Allah then says,

أُوْلَيِكَ الَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ فَأَصَمَّهُمْ وَأَعْمَى أَبْصَارَهُمْ
