Ayat
8. Those who are faithfully true
to their Amanat (all the duties which Allah has ordained, honesty, moral
responsibility and trusts etc.) and to their covenants;
Ayat 9. And those who strictly guard their (five compulsory
congregational) Salawât (prayers) (at their fixed stated hours).
Ayat 10. These are indeed the inheritors.
Ayat 11. Who shall inherit the Firdaus (Paradise). They shall
dwell therein forever.
[Tafseer] Those who faithfully observe their trusts and their
covenants; Trusts may be express or implied. Express trusts are those where
property is entrusted or duties are assigned by some one to some other whom he
trusts, to carry out either immediately or in specified contingencies, such as
death. Implied trusts arise out of power, or position, or opportunity;
e.g., a king holds his kingdom on trust from Allah for his subjects: the Afghan
official phrase for their kingdom used to be Dawlat-i-Khuda-dad (' God-given
kingdom'). The subject of covenants, express and implied, Covenants create
obligations, and express and implied trusts and covenants taken together cover
the whole field of obligations. And who (strictly) guard their prayers;- In verse 2 we were
directed to the spirit of humility and earnestness in our prayers. Here we are
told how necessary the habit of regular prayer is to our spiritual well-being
and development, as it brings us closer to Allah, and thus sums up the light of
the seven jewels of our Faith, viz.: (1) humility, (2) avoidance of vanity, (3)
charity, (4) purity, (5) fidelity to trusts, and (6) to covenants, and (7)
an earnest desire to get closer to Allah. These will be the heirs, Cf. 21:105, where it is said that
the righteous will inherit the earth. In the first verse of this Surah, the
final success or victory is referred to. Truth will prevail even on this earth,
but it may not be for any individual men of righteousness to see it: it may be
in the time of their heirs and successors. But in the life to
come, there is no doubt that every man will see the fruit of his life here, and
the righteous will inherit heaven, in the sense that they will attain it after
their death here. Who will inherit Paradise: they will dwell therein
(forever).
Hazrat Ibn Masud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A
man kissed a woman. So he came to the Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) and informed him about it. Then Allah revealed this
Ayah: "And perform the Salat, between the two ends of the day and in some hours
of the night. Verily, the good deeds efface the evil deeds (i.e., minor sins).''
(11:114) The man asked the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) whether this applies to him
only. The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "It applies to all of my Ummah.''
[Muslim Book # 04, Chapter 85, Hadith #
1376].
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Muminun Ayat 09."strictly guard
their (five compulsory congregational) Salawât
(prayers)" "Between the ends of the day'' means Fajr and Maghrib
prayers. Some people think it refers to `Isha' prayer while some think it means
the Maghrib and `Isha' prayers. "In some hours of the night'' means the Tahajjud
prayers. This Ayah of the Qur'an has been quoted here to stress that Salat is an
act of great virtue and an expiation of sins, but only for minor sins because
the major sins will not be pardoned without sincere repentance.
