157. Upon these
are blessings and mercy from their Lord. These are the guided ones. |
Sala-waatun – (blessings), this word is plural of salaat. Besides its meaning as prayer, it is used also in the meanings of blessings, making humbly requests (to God Almighty for something), worshipping, 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 You have favored; Not the path of those who earn Your anger nor of those who go astray).
In this verse, there is happy news for those individuals, who obey the Commands of God and act 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 due to greed, avarice and temptation and due to such calamities and troubles. So, the people who will not leave the cause of raising the name of God 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 and at last; we have to return unto Him. If during try and strive, it will harm us or our things; God 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 very great. They will be blessed particularly by God 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 must rise up in such situations of tests.
It has been described too: The steadfast in the tests and trials are on the straight path, and they will reach God successfully. https://youtu.be/k2dqKlBEdIY
