Ayat
78. And strive hard in Allah's Cause as
you ought to strive (with sincerity and with all your efforts that His Name
should be superior). He has chosen you (to convey His Message of Islamic
Monotheism to mankind by inviting them to His religion, Islam), and has not laid
upon you in religion any hardship, it is the religion of your father Ibrahim
(Abraham) (Islamic Monotheism). It is He (Allah) Who has named you Muslims both
before and in this (the Qur'an), that the Messenger (Muhammad 
SAWW
[PBUH]) may be a witness over you and you be witnesses over mankind! So perform
AsSalam (Iqamat-as-Salat), give Zakat and hold fast to
Allah [i.e. have confidence in Allah, and depend upon Him in all your affairs]
He is your Maula (Patron, Lord, etc.), what an Excellent Maula
(Patron, Lord, etc.) and what an Excellent
Helper!
[Tafseer] And strive in His cause as ye
ought to strive, (with sincerity and under discipline). He has chosen you, and
has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the cult of your father
Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims, both before and in this
(Revelation); that the Messenger may be a witness for you, and ye be witnesses
for mankind! So establish regular Prayer, give regular Charity, and hold fast to
Allah. He is your Protector - the Best to protect and the Best to
help! As far as the striving is concerned with Jihad
in the narrow sense. But the words are perfectly general and apply to all true
and unselfish striving for spiritual good. The Jews were hampered by many
restrictions, and their religion was racial. Father Abraham is mentioned as
the great Ancestor of those among whom Islam was first preached (Jews,
Christians, and Arab Quraish). Before: see Abraham's prayer in Surah Baqarah Ayat 128. In
this revelation: in this very verse, as well
as in other places. As the Prophet is a guide and witnesses among us, so
Muslims ought to be witnesses amongst mankind. The best witness to Allah's Truth
are those who show its light in their lives.
Hazrat Ibn Masud
(May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said to me: "Recite the Qur'an to me". I said, "O Messenger of
Allah! Shall I recite the Qur'an to you, when it has been revealed to you?'' He
[SAWW](PBUH) replied, "I love to hear it recited by others". So I recited to him
a portion from Surat An-Nisa'. When I reached the Ayah: "How
(will it be) then, when We bring from each nation a witness and We bring you (O
Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH) as a witness against these people?". (4:41) He [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Enough for now". When I looked at him I saw his
eyes were shedding tears.
[Al-Bukhari Book
06, Chapter 60, Hadith #
106].
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Hajj Ayat 78."that the Messenger
(Muhammad SAWW [PBUH]) may be a witness over you and you be witnesses over
mankind" This Hadith tells us that besides the
recitation of the Noble Qur'an, a Muslim should also listen to it from others so
that he can contemplate further on it. It also makes one weep when one listens
to the Noble Qur'an.
