Commentary
It was stated in the
previous verse about the people, who acquired higher post of steadfastness,
that is to say; they fought in the way of God Almighty and were put to death as
martyrs in the path of Truth. Now in this verse, it has been described that the
Muslims will suffer these types of trials and tests during their lives which
will be more troublesome than the death to maintain its stability. Any
individual should never show weakness and cowardice during these kinds of
situations. Moreover, they should take strength from the steadfastness and
continue to obey the commands of God Almighty happily with His assent.
These tests will
appear in the different forms, for example; fear of the enemy, danger of
banishment, confinement and imprisonment on speaking the truth, season of
dearth or famine, shortage of the basic necessities of life, wealth and
property, deficiency in livelihood and employment, killing of nearest
relatives, friends and supporters in the path of God Almighty, looking
mortality, ruin and expiration of own relatives during the war against enemies
of Allah Almighty and His Messenger (glory, grace, blessings and peace be
upon Him), shortage of fruits, other eatable and drinkable things etc.
The
people will be tested through all these difficulties, calamities, and troubles
from time to time, their perseverance, steadiness and steadfastness will be
observed. It is not so much easy to include one between the steadfast. So it is
warned here that a lot of troubles like these may be faced during try for doing
supplication and prestige of God Almighty, but it is the demand of
steadfastness that instead of being afflicted and broken-hearted, we should
remain zealous and earnest in inclination of our cause. Conception to achieve
it; we should remain firm with full strength and keep it up with the tireless
hardworking.
