[Tafseer] That is, never succeed in keeping your religion and in that case ye would never attain prosperity.. To become a renegade, They think that the world had not changed, and that the fierce persecution they knew. was still raging, under which a man had to pay by his life for his religious faith, if he could not conform to Pagan worship, to give up the Truth which you have won, simply on account of the fear of men, is the most despicable form of cowardice, and would rightly close the door of salvation if strict justice were to be done. But even then Allah's Mercy comes to the coward's aid so long as the door of repentance is open.
Hazrat Abdullah bin
Amr bin Al-Aas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "Successful is the one who enters the fold of Islam and is
provided with sustenance which is sufficient for his day's needs, and Allah
makes him content with what He has bestowed upon
him.''
[Muslim
Book 05, Chapter 40, Hadith #
2293].
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Kahf Ayat 20. "you will never be
successful" The real success of a man
will be measured by his being blessed with Divine mercy and forgiveness in the
Hereafter, and this is contingent on Islam alone. If he lacks the wealth of
Islam, all the worldly possessions will not ensure his success in the next
world. This Hadith tells us that richness is not to be defined in terms of a lot
of belongings, and that the real richness is gauged by the contentment of the
soul.
