Indeed those who attained faith and migrated and exerted effort opposite adversity by their money and their own selves in Allah’s path and the ones who gave shelter and support, some of them are guardians of some. While those who attained faith but did not migrate you (plural) have no guardianship over them until they migrate, but if they seek your support in the religion then you have to help them except against a group with whom you have an oath. And Allah in what you do very seeing.
This Aya seems to give a very important ruling that applied to the muslim communities in the muslim state of Medina vs those who were living outside of it. The ruling is that the guardianship is applicable only to the muslims living within the boundaries of the state and that the Muslims of Medina are to leave the muslims outside of it or not under it’s jurisdiction autonomy in their affairs. This is what happened then when the bonds between the Muslims who migrated and the ones who received them because very strong as to include even inheriting each other for a while as a sign of the strength of the bond of Guardianship between each other and as a sign of communal unity.
This is a ruling that continued to apply to the Muslims over the centuries that Muslims not living within the boundaries of the Caliphate were autonomous and not subject to rules and regulations of the Caliphate. However, if they needed and asked for help whether in terms of religious rulings or support against religious oppression then the Muslim state should support them unless there is an oath with the state that those muslims are living under.
This message is very relevant to Muslims and non Muslims of today and that Muslims should not have divided allegiances wherever they live. And if they live under a non Muslim state, which is the case in the majority of the world, then they should not receive their instructions from any state that claims to be Islamic and if that state is actually authentic, then it should not interfere in their lives in any way possible unless to protect them in case they were threatened.
