Commentary
It has been
mentioned in this verse, “Do you consider that you would reach there easily and
comfortably, where Allah Almighty wishes to cause to arrive the Muslims (at
most dignified places of the Paradise and higher grades)? In addition, Allah Almighty will not observe through
your test and trial, that how many of you are those who really strive and who
are steadfast? Keep it in your minds that only those people are caused to reach
the superior posts, who are ready to sacrifice their lives and bear every kind
of hardness and severity in the Path of Allah Almighty.
Those companions
(may Allah Almighty be pleased with them) who could not participate in the
Battle of Badr, they used to long for it that Allah Almighty should
produce another chance again, so that ‘we’ also may achieve the grade of
martyrdom in the Way of Allah Almighty. It has been commanded in this verse,
“The longing, which you had earlier in your breasts, that has appeared before
you. That is to say; you wished to strive with the fond of martyrdom in the Path
of Allah Almighty. At this time, treacherous powers are before you. How strange
is it if; instead of going ahead, now you want to withdraw? Moreover, you would
have to accomplish the desires of your hearts.
It has come in the
Sayings of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), “Do
not wish ever to fight the enemy. However, if the time has come and you have
been compelled to fight, then you should remain steadfast and strive the
crusade if the enemy has been challenging you.
It is evident from these verses that to acquire the
result of goodness, someone has to bear the difficulties in the Way of Allah
Almighty. Test and examination declares that, “who deserves the Paradise ? Who has the right to become
Its heir? In such a manner, the Muslims would have to face different kinds of
calamities and troubles to enter Paradise . Therefore, they should remain steadfast and patient.
