وَلَا تَقُولُواْ لِمَن يُقۡتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ أَمۡوَٰتُۢۚ بَلۡ أَحۡيَآءٞ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تَشۡعُرُونَ (154)
And do not say of those who are killed in the cause of God that they are dead, but that they are alive, but you do not perceive (154)
When the Blessed and Exalted mentioned the command to seek the help of patience in all circumstances, He mentioned an example of what patience is used for, which is jihad in its cause, and it is the best of physical acts of obedience, and it is most difficult for souls, because of its hardship in itself, and because it leads to killing and lack of life, which is what those who desire this world desire to obtain life and its necessities, He strives for it, and repels what opposes it. It is known that the beloved is not left by the wise except for a beloved higher and greater than him.
Tell the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
The souls of the martyrs are in the hollows of green birds that visit the rivers of Paradise, eat of its fruits, and take refuge in lamps hanging from the throne, and in this verse, the greatest urge to fight in the way of God, and to persevere in it. If the servants felt the reward for those killed in the cause of God, no one would be left behind.
A look at the verse
The verse came to correct concepts about death and life, so whoever believes in the Hereafter, the idea of accepting death will be easy for him, and whoever does not, he will not accept the idea of death, and whoever kills a martyr in a battle between right and wrong, or dies by drowning, fire, earthquake, or disease in the stomach while intending to martyr, he dies as a martyr, He is alive and provides sustenance just like a living person, even if he dies on his bed.
وَلَنَبۡلُوَنَّكُم بِشَيۡءٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡخَوۡفِ وَٱلۡجُوعِ وَنَقۡصٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَمۡوَٰلِ وَٱلۡأَنفُسِ وَٱلثَّمَرَٰتِۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ (155)
We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth, and by the souls and the fruits, but give glad tidings to the patient (155)
The Almighty has told that He must afflict His servants with adversity, to distinguish the truthful from the liar, and the desperate from the patient, and this is His sunnah, the Most High, with His servants, and no ordeal occurred with it, because mixing occurred, which is corruption, and God's wisdom requires distinguishing good people from evil people.
A look at the verse
We will test you (the mother) at the beginning of the word for emphasis, and the calamity comes for two main reasons:
1 - so that words are not hollow and worthless
As the Almighty said: ((Do people think that they will be left to say “We believe” while they are not put to trial) (the verse) (as the verse spoke of the general public and not of the believers, Is everyone afflicted by this? And someone says, “I embrace myself to the religion, and immediately after that I was afflicted with this injustice, and this is exactly what happens when you learn the loyalty of those in front of you, (husband/wife - partner at work or subordinate at work...etc) When you do not deal with him well for some worldly reason, or even that you have a problem and you know that he is the one who will tolerate you the most, and you see if he still loves you - appreciates you - treats you as the first, or will it change you? This is exactly what is happening with us. Every religious raising has an raising in adversity, and you will never be able to escape from calamity even if you disbelieve. All you have to do is read the rest of the verse of Surat Al-Ankabut and you will understand.
2 - To mature, yes to mature, for you are not still a child yet, you are brought up with grace, so if you are given you are thankful, otherwise you disbelieve in the blessing (God) this is foolish childhood.
Here the verse enumerated all kinds of terrible afflictions that no one likes
- Fear: of diseases - of the death of loved ones - of fear someday, you and I are afraid of death (the unknown).
- Hunger: perhaps a qualitative hunger (some types of nutrients that benefit your body because of the lack of money that you have or because of a disease that afflicted you, so you are deprived of starving some types which was supposed to tempt you and give you wellness) - or the hunger that we all know is like the famines that are sweeping the world right and left now, may God protect them and us with His grace.
poverty: Have you ever experienced poverty? Was it a qualitative poverty or conventional poverty? Specific poverty as well (poverty between your eyes: It may be that you do not wear international brands or your inability to buy as you used to, or otherwise) Who among us has not been touched by this poverty one day?
The soul: the death of loved ones, even if it is your own death - may God bless you with health and wellness. The death of loved ones breaks the back, or you lose your loved one by moving away from him because of travel, imprisonment, or other reasons for life, Is there anyone who has enjoyed this exact thing throughout his life? Almighty says (and sons are exist ) (Surat Al-Muddaththir 13, to enjoy your children and enjoy their presence and happiness. Not all people fall under this blessing. Millions around the world lack this blessing even if they are unbelievers in God.
And the fruits: look at climate change and what has happened in terms of non-nutritious nutrition, so you eat to regain your energy, and then you get tired more, and you feel lethargic instead of active, look at the qualitative loss of fruits, your inability to buy some fruits because of their high price, just look around you.
And give glad tidings to the patient
It is good news, my brother, and the word good news in itself makes you happy, so what do you think about what comes after it, and remember the Almighty says in the hadith Qudsi (Whoever is satisfied with my fate, I give him as my glory) O Allah, we ask You for the reward of the patient, which in itself is great. The Almighty says (Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without reckoning), do you give someone a bushel of food to strengthen it? Do you reckon with him not to take one more than the other? Did you give someone and give them and give them without reckoning? It is impossible, God - the Almighty - does that for those who are patient until they mature, and until they settle in our souls that we do not belong here (life), but to what is after death He created us for, Here is the school in which we do the duties, and all of it is tired and miserable, even if it is interspersed with some blessings that ease, such as playing with friends, and we end up bearing the result and always being happy or, God forbid, permanent sadness, you, your patience, and your relationship with this verse are part of your life. You must know that every bitterness will pass after it teaches you a lesson that you will not forget to correct mistakes.
final gesture in the verse
Do not ask God for patience except after the occurrence of some calamity - may God forgive you - otherwise ask Him for wellness always and forever in religion, this world and the Hereafter
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَآ أَصَٰبَتۡهُم مُّصِيبَةٞ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّآ إِلَيۡهِ رَٰجِعُونَ (156)
Those who, when a calamity befalls them, say, "We belong to God, and to Him we shall return" (156)
Abu Jaafar said: The Almighty means his remembrance: And give glad tidings, O Muhammad, to those who are patient, who know that all their blessings are from Me, so they acknowledge My servitude, and unite Me with Lordship, and believe in the resurrection and return to Me, so they submit to My judgment, and hope for My reward.For the patient, they are the ones who won the great good tidings, and the huge grant
Then he described them by saying: “those who, when a calamity befalls them,” is everything that hurts the heart, or the body, or both, of the aforementioned.
They said, “We belong to God,” that is, we are owned by God, governed under His command and disposal, so we have nothing of ourselves and our money.
If we are afflicted with something from it, then the Most Merciful of the Merciful has disposed of His Mamluks and their wealth
A look at the verse
1- The word calamity came basically from injury, such as if an archer shoots an arrow with his sharpness hitting the target or not, and who shoots with calamity (God Almighty) and the Almighty says - in more than one place (And you did not throw when you threw, but God threw) that is, if you threw this calamity
2 - Now the calamity has occurred: May God protect you from it. Know that the best and best sayings and in the first three days of the calamity are (We belong to God and to Him we shall return) Why? Because you return yourself, what is around you, your strength, and everything that is left of you to God - the Almighty - and you know that your destiny is you, not your things and your loved ones, to God the Most High - so you will be rewarded instead of fear and there is no reward with it
3- Get your tongue used to saying it if you miss the morning bus, or a slight sting of fire, so that when a great calamity comes - may God forgive you - your tongue will release it and not be heavy on it.
4 - Do not forget to say after that (Oh God, reward me for my calamity and give me something better than it in exchange for it), the one who succeeds you and replaces you with it is Allah, and His giving to the patient and the hopeful is great, and the greatness of the reward is with the greatness of the calamity.
أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ صَلَوَٰتٞ مِّن رَّبِّهِمۡ وَرَحۡمَةٞۖ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُهۡتَدُونَ (157)
On them are blessings from their Lord and mercy, and those who are guided (157)
On the authority of Ali bin Abi Talha, on the authority of Ibn Abbas
In his saying: “Those who, when a calamity befalls them, say, “We belong to God, and to Him we shall return.” Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy, and those are the ones who are rightly guided, He said, “Tell God that if the believer submits the matter to God, and turns back and recovers at the time of calamity, three good qualities will be written for him: for a prayer from God, mercy, and achieving the path of guidance, He made his consciousness better, and made him a righteous successor who would be pleased with him
A look at the verse
Those: To whom do you return? Upon the patient ones who hope for the calamity with God - The Almighty - on the ones who specifically ask for prayers from their Lord (imagine that God is praying for you and wth himself) what is the meaning of this? (facilitation for obedience, distance from disobedience, reward and reward) + mercy, perhaps you felt God’s mercy on you at the time of calamity (calmness in your heart and stabilization in your organs)
And you do not know where it came from, it is from your saying (We belong to God and to Him we shall return sincerely from the heart) Oh God, reward me for my calamity and give me something better than it.
The verses of calamity and patience over it have ended, and one thing remains:
People when calamities differ from one another, and among them are:
1- He who is patient for God: As we said, he is higher, and he is the highest degree.
2- Among them are those who lash out: so that no one will gloat over them, which is a high status as well, but not like the first degree.
3 - And among them are those who panic and are not satisfied with the survival of God, and with the calamity they have anxiety, deprivation and misery - God forbid -

۞إِنَّ ٱلصَّفَا وَٱلۡمَرۡوَةَ مِن شَعَآئِرِ ٱللَّهِۖ فَمَنۡ حَجَّ ٱلۡبَيۡتَ أَوِ ٱعۡتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡهِ أَن يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَاۚ وَمَن تَطَوَّعَ خَيۡرٗا فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِيمٌ (158)
۞Indeed, Al-Safa and Al-Marwa are among the rituals of Allah, so whoever performs the pilgrimage to the house or performs the Umrah, there is no sin on him if he circumambulates them, and whoever voluntarily volunteers for good, then indeed, Allah is Thankful, Knowing (158)
{Indeed, Safaa and Marwa are among the rituals of Allah}
His faithful slaves that striving between them is one of the rituals of Hajj that he enacted for them, and his friend Ibrahim, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, commanded it, s he asked him to show him the rituals of Hajj. And that, even if its director is the director of the news, then what is meant by it is the command, because God, the Most High, mentioned him, commanded his Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, by following the religion of Abraham, peace be upon him, so he said to him: {Then We revealed to you that I follow the faith of Abraham, Hanif}
This meant that the people of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
When he performed the Umrah of the case, the fear of people who used to circumambulate them in the pre-Islamic period of ignorance because of two idols that they wore on them out of respect for them, so they said: How do we circumambulate them when we know that veneration of idols and all that was worshiped besides God is shirk ( assoiated with God ) In our circumambulation of these two stones, one of them is because the circumambulation of them in the pre-Islamic period was only for the two idols that were on them, God has brought Islam today, and there is no way to glorify anything with God in the sense of worshiping Him.
Ibn Zayd said about his saying: {And whoever volunteers for good, then Allah is Thankful, All-Knowing}
Whoever volunteered for good, then perform 'Umrah, for God is Thankful, All-Knowing. He said: Hajj is obligatory, and Umrah is voluntary. Umrah is not obligatory for anyone.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَكۡتُمُونَ مَآ أَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَٱلۡهُدَىٰ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا بَيَّنَّٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يَلۡعَنُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَيَلۡعَنُهُمُ ٱللَّٰعِنُونَ (159)
Those who conceal what We have sent down of the proofs and the guidance, After what He made clear to people in the Books, those are cursed by God, and cursed by those who curse (159) This verse, though it was revealed in the People of the Book
And what they concealed about the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and his attributes, for its ruling is general for everyone who is characterized by concealing what God has sent down “the proofs” that indicate the truth and the manifestations of it “and the guidance.”
It was narrated on the authority of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, that he said
Whoever is asked about knowledge he knows and conceals it, will be bridle on the Day of Resurrection with a bridle of fire.
"cursors"
Some of them said: By that, he meant the animals of the earth and its vermin.
About Mujahid
And the cursers curse them.” The beasts: camels, cows, and sheep, so curse the disobedient children of Adam if the earth becomes barren.
Some of them said
Those who curse are among the angels of God and among the believers.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ تَابُواْ وَأَصۡلَحُواْ وَبَيَّنُواْ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَتُوبُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَأَنَا ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ (160)
Except those who repented and made amends and clarified, so to those I repent to hem, and I am the Forgiving, the Merciful (160)
Ibn Zaid said
: “Except for those who repent and make amends and explain.” He said, explain what is in God’s book to the believers, and what they asked them about from the command of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him. And this is all in the Jews.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَمَاتُواْ وَهُمۡ كُفَّارٌ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ لَعۡنَةُ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَجۡمَعِينَ (161)
Those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers those are the curse of God be upon them and the angels and all the people (161)
to some of the prophets
God meant by saying: “and all people”, the people of faith in Him and His Messenger in particular, to the exclusion of all human beings.
Others said
Rather, that on the Day of Resurrection, the unbeliever will stand at the heads of witnesses, and all people will curse him.
The infidel will be arrested on the Day of Resurrection and God will curse him, then the angels will curse him, then all people will curse him.
Rather, their chastisement is permanent, severe, continuous, “nor will they be waited,” meaning: they are given respite, because the time of respite - which is the world - has passed, and there is no excuse left for them to apologize.
وَإِلَٰهُكُمۡ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞۖ لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ (163
And your God is one god, there is no god but He, the Gracious, the Merciful (163) By His mercy, His servants knew Himself
With his attributes and his loyalty, and he explained to them all that they need from the interests of their religion and their world, by sending messengers, and sending down books.
so if he knows that what is bestowed upon the servants is from God, and that none of the creatures benefits anyone - he knows that God is deserving of all types of worship, and that He is the only one with love, fear, hope, glorification, trust, and other types of obedience.
