أَم
حَسِبتُم أَن تَدخُلُوا الجَنَّةَ وَلَمّا يَأتِكُم مَثَلُ الَّذينَ خَلَوا مِن
قَبلِكُم ۖ مَسَّتهُمُ البَأساءُ وَالضَّرّاءُ وَزُلزِلوا حَتّىٰ يَقولَ
الرَّسولُ وَالَّذينَ آمَنوا مَعَهُ مَتىٰ نَصرُ اللَّهِ ۗ أَلا إِنَّ نَصرَ
اللَّهِ قَريبٌ214. |

214. Or do you expect to enter Paradise before the
example of those who came before you had reached you? Adversity and hardship
had afflicted them, and they were so shaken up, that the Messenger and those
who believed with him said, “When is God’s victory?” Indeed, God’s victory is
near. |
In this verse, God has commanded that it is necessary for the mankind to face hardness, calamities and difficulties for obtaining betterment and success. It isn’t right to hope for success without bearing difficulties and hardships and passing through the test. It has been declared in this verse that the greatest blessing is the Paradise, and described that so much great blessing cannot be acquired without arduous work. The Pathway of the goodness and the Paradise has been made so much difficult that it might be known that “who has the demand and yearning for it?” That individual will try his best; using his entire powers and strength which God has bestowed to him for this purpose; who will have its real quest. He will get ready to sacrifice his everything for this object. Moreover, the people, who will get their purposes by passing through the difficult paths, they will understand also its real value.
God has proved by mentioning reference of the ancient communities that the successors have suffered hardships and difficulties always because enemies of God and those who have enmity with the goodness; have not left unfinished to torture the Believers. They leave them after making helpless and poor, and tyrannize them at such extent that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and His Believing Companions call, “O God! Now it is the end of the limit of their torture, when Your help will come?”
God has promised with the Believers that His help shall come surely but there is a fixed rule for this help, at first, the people are tested, when they remain sticking with throughout patient and steadfast, then finally, God gives them success and the enemy of righteousness falls in the humility and is ruined..jpg)
