Commentary
Sala-waatun – (blessings),
this word is plural of salaaat. Besides its meaning as prayer,
it is used also in the meanings of blessings, making humbly requests (to God
Almighty for something), worshiping, communing with God and mercy.
Muhtaduun – (the rightly guided
people), this word is for the guidance. It has been explained in the
first Surah, verse: 5, 6 & 7 (Show us the straight path, the
path of those whom Thou hast favored; Not (the path) of those who earn Thine
anger nor of those who go astray).
In this verse, there
is happy news for those individuals, who obeyed the Commands of God Almighty
and acted upon His Revelations.
It was described in
the previous verses that Muslims’ strength of faith, obedience, submission and
worship would be examined. They will be tested by putting them in difficulties
and troubles of various sorts. They would have fear of enemies’ enmity. They
will be tortured by the selfish on speaking the truth. They will bear the
pressure of the opposite, famine and dearth, starvation and poverty, loss of
life and property, deficiency in eatables and drinkable. They will have to
endure all these troubles.
The human being can
stray from justice coming in greed, avarice and temptation due to these
calamities and troubles. So, the people who will not leave the cause of raising
the name of God Almighty and His Religion, caring not for the enmities, but
will remain firm on it with perseverance, fortitude and steadiness. They will
be included in the steadfast. These types of persons will say: We and
everything of ours is only of God Almighty and at last; we have to return unto
Him. If during try and strive, it will harm us or our things; God Almighty is
the Sole Commander to bestow us better reward for it. We believe that He shall
give us remuneration for these matters.
It has been mentioned
in this verse that remuneration of the steadfast; like these persons is much
great. They will be blessed particularly by Allah Almighty in this world as
well as on the Day of Resurrection. God says: We shall continue Our Mercy upon
them. So they should not withdraw due to fear of the enemies of the Truth.
Moreover, they should rise in these situations of tests.
It
has been stated too that the steadfast in the tests and trials are on the
straight path, and they will reach God Almighty successfully.
