Religious Commands are not difficult
Surah ‘An-Nisaaa’ (The Women) – Chapter
– 4)
BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In
the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
66. And if We
had decreed for them: Lay down your lives or go forth from your dwellings,
but few of them would have done it; and if they had done what they have been
admonished it would have been better for them, and more strengthening-
67. And then
We would have bestowed upon them from Our Presence an immense reward-
68. And We
would have guided them unto a Straight Path.

Commentary
KatabNaa - this word has
come out from Kataba which
means ‘to write’. When the word ‘alaa comes after the word KatabNaa, then its meanings
are changed as ‘to command’ someone. That is to say, ‘We ordered’.
Tasbiitaa – To strengthen, to
stable, to make firm, to establish or to prove.
In the previous verse, it was advised to every
mankind that they should act upon the commands of Messenger of Allah Almighty,
Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace
be upon him) because Messengers and Prophets (peace be upon them) are sent in
the world only for the purpose of obedience, and what they say, that is the Commandment
from Allah Almighty, not their own.
This verse states that obeying and
following the Prophet (peace be upon him); is not too much difficult because
Prophet of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)
instructs the people to perform very easy works, which are beneficial for them.
He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is Our (God’s) beloved
Messenger.
If We (Allah Almighty) desired to
command the Messenger for performing very difficult works, We could have. For
instance, if We had ordered them, “Lay down your lives (by choking or die
stabbing yourselves) or go forth from your dwellings (get out from your
houses), then they would never have been ready to obey such commands but only a
few of them would have done so. They should think that, We have neither
instructed them to leave their houses, lose their lives, nor put themselves
into the troubles and hardships as We did with the people before them, but prescribed
for them easy tasks in which less effort is required while the reward is more
than enough.
Then it is said that if they would
have performed these easy works happily, it would have been better for them.
Their hearts would have been strong and belief matured, We had put them in a
Straight Path, which lead them to the house of immortal comfort and pleasure.
But, they do not understand that if these easy tasks are done with good
intention and true heart, then its retaliation is a big reward, that; the human
being is saved from pain, sorrow and torment forever and reaches the house of
comfort and happiness.
