وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أُعِدَّتْ لِلْكَٰفِرِينَ 131. وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ 132. وَسَارِعُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ مَغْفِرَةٍمِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ أُعِدَّتْ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ 133. |

131. And guard yourselves against the Fire that is prepared for the disbelievers. 132. And obey God and the Messenger, that you may obtain mercy. 133. And race towards forgiveness from your Lord, and a Garden
as wide as the heavens and the earth, prepared for the righteous. |
Punishment for the usurer has been described after forbidding from devouring the usury that his last abode would be Fire of the Hell, which is in fact for the disbelievers. It revealed that a usurer would also be produced in the Court of God as a sinner like a disbeliever. Therefore, Muslims should escape from the curse of usury/interest, and pass their lives as those who fear God.
Then it has been commanded: Obey God and His Last Messenger, Muhammad (ﷺ). This obedience becomes cause of mercy upon them. To execute the command of Prophet (ﷺ) is just like obeying the Order of God, because it is the Command of Allah Almighty that you would have to obey perfectly the commands of the Messenger (ﷺ). Some Muslims disobeyed the instructions of the Messenger (ﷺ) in the Battle of ‘Uhud, which endangered their victory. Therefore, it has been admonished, “Do neither fall short and nor commit any error as such in future. If you will obey God and His Messenger (ﷺ) then you will find mercy of God. By doing so, the doors of success and betterment will be opened for you”.
It is being commanded in the
third verse of this lesson, “Vie one with another for forgiveness from your
Lord. (Labor too hard towards the good deeds and fine manners, for which God and His Messenger (ﷺ) has commanded to you. If you
will pass your lives in God-fearing and control of the passions then after
death from this mortal world, your last abode will be Paradise, which is
as wide as are the heavens and the earth, prepared for those who ward off
(evil). The human being cannot think vaster than the space of heavens and the
earth collectively. Therefore, width of Paradise has been illustrated
by a simile of the space of heavens and the earth.
The difference in the result of a
usurer and obedient mankind of God
has been revealed that one of them is disgraced in the world as well as he will
be fuel of hell-fire on the Day of Resurrection. The other person, who is
obedient, passes his life with honor and he will be entitled to live in the
beautiful gardens of Paradise on the Doomsday.
