Assuredly ye will be tried in your property and in your persons, and
ye will hear much wrong from those who were given the Scripture before you,
and from the idolaters. But if ye persevere and ward off (evil), surely it is
a work of strong
determinations.

Commentary
The Muslims have
been addressed in this verse that, “As you have sacrificed earlier your
property and your lives, and you were being tried, likewise you will be tried
in both things in future too and you would have to sacrifice in each respect.
Your life may be exposed to imminent danger at any time and you would have to
risk it, you are wounded, you suffer imprisonment, Diseases and sickness attack
you, your properties are destroyed and your close relatives slip away. You
would have to bear different kinds of troubles and difficulties. You would have
to hear many wrong and vexing talks from the People of the Scripture and the
Idolaters. Remember that it is very necessary to have patience and God-fearing
for passing through these entire tests. If you will stand face to face these
severities with steadfastness and sobriety, then really it will be a work of
strong determinations.
It is found through
a Saying of the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace
be upon him) that this verse was revealed before the commencement of the Battle of Badr.
The order regarding war for self-defense and slaying was revealed afterwards.
However, if there is either battle or peace, it is compulsory in all conditions
to adopt patience and God-fearing.
Another Saying of the Messenger of Allah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) teaches us that this world is a
paradise for the Infidels and prison for the Believers. Its reason is that
Allah Almighty puts the Muslims in different trials to teach them for the life
of abstinence and piety. The Muslims fear God Almighty, run away from evil deeds
and run towards the Goodness. On the contrary, telling a lie, backbiting,
lending and borrowing money at interest, trying to acquire gain in each matter
and earning through black marketing seems (apparently) very easy to the
Infidels and Hypocrites. Moreover, for the lawful earning, a true person has to
pass through very difficult paths. The deniers of the truth oppose and
hurt the good-natured people. But a person who is of good deeds, challenges all
troubles and difficulties with patience and steadfastness. And he deserves the Paradise after bearing different trials
from Allah Almighty. In short, actual secret of success in intricacies and
calamities is hidden in two principles, which are Patience, steadfastness and
God-fearing. The person who will produce these characteristics into himself,
surely he will succeed.
