Commentary
a. Non-Muslim residents of an Islamic state are called Mu'âhid, meaning protected, because the state is responsible for their rights and their lives.
[1] One whom there is a covenant with.
b. They get their rights with the orders of Allâh and His Messenger ﷺ. c. 'Will not smell the fragrance of Paradise' means that the offender will be away from Paradise. In the Hereafter there are only two places, Paradise and Hell. This is a warning that the offenders will enter Hell.
