Commentary 

We have discussed in the previous lesson that God Almighty has taught us about the Straight and clear Path, which after choosing; we can make the condition of the world better and strong. We can annihilate the anti-human things like poverty, adversity, starving, restlessness and despair. We can finish the poverty of the poor. If it is performed according to His Commands, then, the time of strikes, riot and rebellion, quarrels and disputes will remain no more. Everyone will be able to get employment according to his spirit and capability after working hard. Business and industry will be developing elegantly.

Commandments of God Almighty are before us. Delay is only from our side; that we should start the work with full consideration. There are many other benefits in addition to the worldly advantages, which are called “the advantages of the Hereafter”. Understanding them depends on consideration. However, obeying these orders by the mankind in a clear form needs special attention of every individual and he should know its advantages with care. Until now; the benefits of these commands, which have been revealed, have been proved with experience, and surely it is helpful for consideration.

Which orders have been revealed by God Almighty for our betterment and guidance, “Though those are for the purpose that we should not draw our attention upon them? Should we behave them like unlawful negligence and carelessness? Should we mock at them? Not at all; the Orders of Allah Almighty are Guarantor of human welfare and well-being, bring prosperity and comfort in the world, will become cause of reward and victory on the Day of Resurrection, the human beings will fall in the well of darkness if they remained ignorant from them. And he will get Light who will adopt them.

How the life should be passed in the world? How the provision should be arranged for the Hereafter? This entire has been mentioned in these Orders. The person can enjoy the real human life only after understanding and acting upon them. God Almighty invites us again and again to consider thoughtfully in His Word (Holy Qur’aan), and claims that due to acting upon His commands your Doomsday will be good as well as your this world will also be rectified.
