Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Holy Quran Text. Translation & Commentary(the Example Commentary in Brief)(volume Four) Those Who Vie For Doing Good Deeds VERSE NO.55ِ61 Some people rely on wealth and children as a means of achieving prosperity and happiness, but they are wrong. These can also become a cause of negligence, and a means of God's tests and trials. Rank, wealth, children, and power are all attractive and to some extent useful, but not always and in all cases.

Each of these, may have its own problems and difficulties and may cause Man to forget his God, and even his duties. If so, they may result in painful punishments in this world, and damnation in the life to come. After negating the conceptions of the unbelievers about wealth, power, and children, reference is made to the party of believers who vie with one another in doing good.

``Those who are in awe for the fear of their Lord, And those who believe in the signs of their Lord; And those who do not associate anything with their Lord.'' The above class of god fearing men are so described that, their heart is full of anxiety and fear of the reverence for Allah, lest their charity be not acceptable by their Lord when they return to Him.

They are fearful of the sure encounter with Allah, and yet they are also full of hope that they will have God's Grace and Mercy:ِ ``And those who give of what they are given, and their hearts are anxious that they are returning to their Lord.'' وَلاَ نُكَلِّفُ نَفْساً إِلاَّ وُسْعَهَا وَلَدَيْنَا كِتَابٌ يَنطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ وَهُمْ لاَ يُظْلَمُونَ(( 62 )) [ 296 ] 62- AND WE CHARGE NO ONE WITH A DUTY EXCEPT IN EXTENT OF HIS ABILITY, AND THERE IS A BOOK WITH US THAT SAYS THE TRUTH, AND THEY ARE NOT OPPRESSED.

بَلْ قُلُوبُهُمْ فِى غَمْرَة مِّنْ هَذَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْمَالٌ مِّنْ دُونِ ذَلِكَ هُمْ لَهَا عَامِلُونَ(( 63 )) 63- BUT THEIR HEARTS ARE UNAWARE OF THIS (RECORD AND JUDGEMENT) AND THEY HAVE DEEDS OTHER THAN THAT WHICH THEY ARE DOING. حَتَّى إِذَا أَخَذْنَا مُتْرَفِيهِمْ بِالْعَذَابِ إِذَا هُمْ يَجْأَرُونَ(( 64 )) 64- UNTIL, WHEN WE SEIZED IN PUNISHMENT THOSE OF THEM WHO LIVED IN ABUNDANCE, THEN THEY BEGAN TO HOWL.

(CRY FOR HELP) لاَ تَجْأَرُوا الْيَوْمَ إِنَّكُمْ مِّنَّا لاَ تُنصَرُونَ(( 65 )) 65- (IT WILL BE SAID TO THEM) DO NOT HOWL TO-DAY, THAT YOU WILL NOT BE HELPED BY US.
