The Command for Taqwa, Emigration and to worship Him alone with all Sincerity

Allah commands His believing servants to remain steadfast in their obedience and have Taqwa of Him.

قُلْ يعِبَادِ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ اتَّقُواْ رَبَّكُمْ لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُواْ فِى هَـذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةٌ

(Say: "O My servants who believe, have Taqwa of your Lord. Good is for those who do good in this world...") means, the one who does good deeds in this world, will have a good (reward) in this world and in the Hereafter.

وَأَرْضُ اللَّهِ وَاسِعَةٌ

(and Allah's earth is spacious!) Mujahid said, "So emigrate through it and strive hard and keep away from idols."

إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصَّـبِرُونَ أَجْرَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

(Only those who are patient shall receive their reward in full, without reckoning.) Al-`Awza`i said, "Their reward will not be weighed or measured; they will be given an immense reward." As-Suddi said:

إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصَّـبِرُونَ أَجْرَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

(Only those who are patient shall receive their reward in full, without reckoning.) means, "In Paradise."

قُلْ إِنِّى أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ مُخْلِصاً لَّهُ الدِّينَ

(Say: "Verily, I am commanded to worship Allah, making religion sincerely for Him...") means, `I am commanded to worship Allah alone in all sincerity, with no partner or associate.'

وَأُمِرْتُ لاًّنْ أَكُونَ أَوَّلَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

(And I am commanded (this) in order that I may be the first of the Muslims.)

О Мухаммад! Обратись теперь к самым лучшим из Моих рабов - правоверным мусульманам - и передай им самое прекрасное из повелений. Прикажи им страшиться Всемогущего Аллаха и напомни им о причине, которая обязывает их страшиться Аллаха. Это - господство и добродетель Всевышнего. Именно Его многочисленные благодеяния обязывают правоверных, а также всех остальных людей, страшиться своего Господа. А величайшим из этих благодеяний является правая вера, которую Аллах помещает в сердцах своих избранных рабов. О правоверные, страшитесь Аллаха! Этот призыв похож на распространенные обращения: «О щедрый человек, подай милостыню! О храбрый воин, сражайся!» Затем Аллах сообщил о вознаграждении, которое ожидает верующих на земле. Он одаряет своих праведных рабов щедрым уделом, дарует им покой и умиротворение и раскрывает их сердца для всего самого лучшего. Всевышний также сказал: «Верующих мужчин и женщин, которые поступали праведно, Мы непременно одарим прекрасной жизнью» (16:97). У некоторых людей может возникнуть вопрос, почему слова Всевышнего о том, что праведникам, которые вершили в этом мире добро, уготовано славное вознаграждение, носят общий характер, тогда как хорошо известно, что существуют страны, в которых мусульмане подвергаются гонениям и преследованиям. Для того чтобы ответить на этот вопрос, Всевышний Аллах сказал: «О мусульмане! Земля Аллаха обширна, и если вам мешают поклоняться Аллаху надлежащим образом в одной стране, то переселяйтесь в другую страну, дабы вы могли поклоняться вашему Господу и выполнять предписания вашей религии». Тем самым Господь ниспослал мусульманам великую благую весть о счастливой жизни не только в Последней жизни, но и на земле. Именно поэтому посланник Аллаха, да благословит его Аллах и приветствует, сказал: «Часть моих последователей всегда будет придерживаться истины и одерживать верх над своими противниками. Им не причинят вреда те, которые будут отказывать им в помощи или противиться им. Это будет продолжаться вплоть до наступления Судного дня». Этот хадис имеет много общего с обсуждаемым нами аятом. Земля велика и обширна, и если мусульмане не имеют возможности поклоняться Господу в одном уголке земли, то они могут переселиться в другой. Это предписание религии имеет силу в любой стране и в любую эпоху. Угнетенный мусульманин всегда имеет возможность переселиться к своим братьям, которые готовы принять его и помочь ему исповедовать истинную веру. Воистину, терпеливые праведники получат воздаяние полностью без всякого счета. Речь идет о правоверных, которые терпеливо переносят порой тяжелое и болезненное предопределение Аллаха, терпеливо избегают грехов и терпеливо выполняют повеления своего Господа. Именно им обещано неисчислимое вознаграждение, у которого не будет конца краю, и все это свидетельствует о том, какую пользу приносит терпение человеку и какое важное место оно занимает перед Аллахом.

Maʿārif al-Qur'ān

Mufti Shafi Usmani, English

In verse 10, it was said: وَأَرْ‌ضُ اللَّـهِ وَاسِعَةٌ (and the earth of Allah is wide).In the sentence previous to this, Good deeds had been enjoined. This might prompt someone to come up with the excuse, 'The city or country in which I live, or the social milieu I am stuck with around me stops me from doing good deeds.' This sentence carries an answer to this excuse - 'if you find adherence to Islamic legal injunctions difficult while living in some particular country, city or social setup, then, leave it. The earth of Allah is wide enough. Go and live at a place and in a surrounding that is conducive to remaining obedient to Divine commandments.' This persuades one to migrate from a place living in which one cannot dutifully follow and observe what has been enjoined by his religion. Some rules relating to hijrah (emigration) have already appeared in the commentary on Surah An-Nisa' (Ma’ ariful-Qur’ an, Volume II, Index p. 659, see under Hijrah).

In the last sentence of verse 10, it was said: إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصَّابِرُ‌ونَ أَجْرَ‌هُم بِغَيْرِ‌ حِسَابٍ (Certainly those who observe patience will be given their reward in full without measure.) The expression: بِغَيْرِ‌ حِسَابٍ (bighayri-hisab: without measure) means that the reward of those who endure ordeals will not be given to them under some pre-determined calculations or measures, instead, it will be sans-calculation, sans-reckoning, in a spirit of generosity at its most sublime as mentioned in a Hadith narration that follows. Some others have interpreted this expression in the sense of request, or claim, that is, in this worldly life, should someone have some right due on someone, he has to initiate the claim for it. But, with Allah, those who observe patience will be given their reward without any request or claim.

Qatadah reports from Sayyidna Anas ؓ that the Holy Prophet ﷺ said, 'On the Day of Judgment, a Scale of Justice will be set in place. When people who had given Sadaqah (charity) come forward, whatever they had given will be weighed, and they will be given their full reward against it. Similarly, the acts of worship such as Salah and Hajj will be weighed, and its reward would be duly given to those who had performed these. And when come those who had stood patient against trials and tribulations, for them, there will be no measure and weight, instead, their return and reward will be rolled down towards them without calculation, measure or reckoning - because, Allah Ta ala has said: إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصَّابِرُ‌ونَ أَجْرَ‌هُم بِغَيْرِ‌ حِسَابٍ (Certainly those who observe patience will be given their reward in full without measure. - 39:10). So much so that people who had lived their life of the mortal world in perfect peace and comfort would wish, 'alas! Had our bodies been shredded with scissors during our life in the mortal world, we too would have earned a similar return for our endurance and patience against trials.'

Imam Malik (رح) has taken: صَابرین (as-sabirun) in this verse to mean people who endure hardships and remain patient over sorrows of the mortal life. Some elders have said that it means people who hold their self in check against acts of disobedience and sin. Qurtubi says, 'when the word: صَابِر (sabir: patient) is uttered unaccompanied by some other word, it invariably means a person who observes patience against hardships caused during the process of making one's desiring self abstain from sins. And when the word: صَبر (sabir) is used for a person who remains patient against distress, it is coupled with some other words: صَابِرت علی کَذَا (one who is patient against such and such distress). وَاللہ سبحانہ و تعالیٰ اَعلَم Allah knows best.
