Commentary

 

La-Nuhyi-yanna – (verily We shall quicken), actually this word is Yuhyii; derived from ‘ihyaa-‘un, which means “to quicken, to give life”. This word has come out from hayaat, which means “life”.

 

It has been commanded in these verses that the people who have patience in the world and do not fall in worldly enjoyments, plays and amusements like blind insane people, they will be paid a recompense of their good works. And the remuneration of restraining themselves; from stupid wishes of the world; will be great.

 

Then it is commanded: We have established a rule that the person, whether that is male or female, will do good works after having belief, We shall bestow them a chaste life and give them a recompense in proportion to the best of what they used to do.

 

In this verse, there is a good and great glad tidings of future reward of virtues that their present life (of the world) will be satisfactory and of peace. And those who will do good works to please God Almighty, they will be paid full recompense also in the Hereafter.
