Commentary
In this verse, Allah
Almighty has commanded that it is necessary for the mankind to face hardness,
calamities and difficulties for obtaining betterment and success. It isn’t
right to hope for success without bearing difficulties and hardships and
passing through the test. It has been declared in this verse that the greatest
goodness is the Paradise , and described that too much great blessing
cannot be acquired without arduous work. The Pathway of the goodness and the Paradise has been made so much
difficult that it might be known that “who has the demand and yearning for it?”
That individual will try his best; using his entire powers and strength which
Allah Almighty has bestowed to him for this purpose; who will have its real
quest. He will be ready to sacrifice his everything for this. Moreover, the
people, who will get their purposes passing through the difficult paths, they
will understand also its real value.
Allah Almighty has
proved by mentioning reference of the previous communities that the successors
have suffered hardships and difficulties always because enemies of Allah
Almighty and those who have enmity with the goodness have not left unfinished
to torture the Believers. They leave them after making helpless and poor, and
tyrannize them at such extent that the Prophet (peace be upon Him) and His
Believer Companions call, “O Allah! Now it is the end of the limit of their
torture, when Your help will come?”
Allah Almighty has promised with the Believers
that His help shall come surely but there is a fixed rule for this help, at
first, the people are tested, when they remain sticking with throughout patient
and steadfast, then finally, Allah Almighty gives them success and the enemy of
righteousness falls in the humility and is ruined.
