Some people of the Scripture believe truly

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

وَإِنَّ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لَمَن يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَمَآأُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ خَٰشِعِينَ لِلَّهِ لَا يَشْتَرُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ 199

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱصْبِرُوا۟ وَصَابِرُوا۟ وَرَابِطُوا۟ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ 200

199.  And lo! of the People of the Scripture there are some who believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto you and that which was revealed unto them, humbling themselves before Allah; they purchase not a trifling gain at the price of the Revelations of Allah. Verily their reward is with their Lord. Lo! Allah is Swift to take account.                                       200.  O ye who believe! Endure outdo all others in endurance, be ready, and observe your duty to Allah, in order that ye may succeed.

199.  Wa  ‘inna  min  ‘Ahlil-Kitaabi  lamany-yu’-minu  Billaahi  wa  maaa  'unzila- ‘ilaykum  wa  maaa  ‘unzila  ‘ilayhim  khaashi-‘iina  Lillaahi,  laa  yash-taruuna  bi-‘Aayaa-Tillaahi  samanan-qaliilaa.  ‘Ulaaa-‘ika  lahum  ‘ajruhum  ‘inda  Rabbihim.  ‘InnAllaaha   Sarii-‘ul-hisaab.    200.  Yaaa-‘ayyu-hallaziina  ‘aamanusbiruu  wa  saabiruu  wa  raabituu:  wattaqUllaaha  la-‘al-lakum  tuflihuun.

Commentary

      

In these verses, such People of the Scripture have been described, who are sober and pious, who believe in Allah Almighty correctly, who have faith in Holy Qur’an, who used to prostrate before Allah Almighty with sincerity and humbly, who did neither hide the glad tidings and nor changed the Commands of Allah Almighty. Verily very much respectable reward for them is with their Lord Almighty. The Day of Account (regarding deeds of everybody – good or bad) is not at much distance but that is coming very soon. On that Day (of Resurrection) they will be remunerated fully.

A collective advice has been narrated for the Muslims at the end of this Surah (Chapter). That is to say; if you wish to succeed in the world and in the Hereafter, then you should adhere to the Obedience by enduring even during the harshness and the severity. Remain away from the evil deeds and sins; show your strength, perseverance and steadfastness against the enemies, keep protecting Islam, stand still and fight against the enemy and observe your duty to Allah all the times and in everything. If you did so, then it is sure that you got entire blessings and succeeded. Allah Almighty has admonished four advices and determined them the source of success at the end of this Surah (Chapter).

1.   ‘Asbiruu  - (Endure outdo all others in endurance, be patient) means that first rule of success is steadfastness.

                                

2.   Saabiruu - (be ready, instruct others for patience and be strong in fight) make other persons accustomed of the patience and determination too along with you.

3.   Raabituu - (continue in close contact and be united) mutual connections and strong relations are the stairs of success.

4.   ‘AttaqUllaaha – (observe your duty to Allah) God fearing and abstinence is fourth principle of success.
