Explanatory Note

It is the pleasure that fills the believer’s heart and soul, animates everything in his life, and radiates to all around him. What a reward, and what grace! He will be satisfied with his religion, his Lord and his destiny. He will be content with whatever befalls him of comfort or discomfort, and whether he is poor or wealthy. He will be free of anxiety and hard feelings. He does not worry about his burden being too heavy or his goal being too far. This satisfaction is in itself a reward, great beyond description. Only the person who sacrifices himself and his wealth for it and who seeks to purify himself and to win God’s pleasure deserves this reward. It is God alone who can pour such a reward into those hearts which submit to Him with all sincerity and pure devotion.

7. Period of Revelation

[ edit ]

Its subject matter so closely resembles that of Surah 91: ash-Shams (The Sun) that each Surah seems to be an explanation of the other. It is one and the same thing, which has been explained in Surah 91: ash-Shams in one way and in this Surah in another. This indicates that both these Surahs were sent down in about the same period.
