153. O you who
believe! Seek help through patience and prayers. God is with the steadfast. |
It was discussed in the previous lesson that God has granted a very high post to the Muslims. That is to say, they should remove the polytheism and worshiping of Idols from the world, convey the message of Unity (Oneness of God) in all parts of the world and perform the duty of leadership and guidance for the entire nations. It was necessary to support this responsibility that superior virtues and kind manners be grown into the Muslims.
Three of these qualities have been mentioned in the previous lesson, namely:
1. Worship God and obey His commandments wholeheartedly.
2. Spend the powers and strength at proper places/circumstances; granted by Him.
3. Esteem highly all blessings and favors of God and do not be ungrateful.
It has been commanded in today’s lesson that “Seek help of God in steadfastness and pray for success. Two ways have been narrated here to seek help of God:
- Seek help in steadfastness during difficulties and calamities.
- Offer prayers regularly.
During achieving the object, calamities and difficulties will come certainly. So, someone should not give up steadfastness for the real cause.
It is the reality of the thought and prayer that the spirit gets power by the remembrance of God. Such group or party does never fail; in which these two qualities exist.
Then, it is commanded: The people who will keep their footings on steadfastness during the forthcoming difficulties by following their cause, they will get particular help and coexistence of God. And it is clear that; which group or party is supported by God; that can never fail. We should produce these virtues in ourselves and become earnest for preaching and invitation.
