Commentary on this passage

Verse 1

1.The message for righteous people and kingdom is given in Zaboor and before that same was in Taurat etc. so that righteous people are assured that their princely states will not be destroyed in the world and the possession of the finality of the world will be in their hands and the system of nature and the law of Allah would be introduced and be issued in the domination of Allah and their desires would be fulfilled in this way and they will obtain the rewards for their efforts. Without these, the purpose of creation cannot be completed and the whole universe will remain incomplete. World is not created only for creating, unrest and dispute. Its creation is for establishing the law of Allah and there is no possibility of hesitation and raising of doubt in His supreme authority. If the disbelievers, dishonest and the sinful can be the rulers of the world and can rule over the world then can the virtuous people of Allah not become the successors and why can they not rule? The disbelievers have always been under the misconception that there is nobody capable to rule the world except them. But thank God, now this fact is slowly being clarified that ideas of disbelievers are fit for agitation and nothing else and only the righteous can govern. The sinful persons can upset the system of universe but not run with any degree of success.

2.According to Mulla Sadruddin Shirazi, the Resurrection Day was called momentous since the whole world is running towards it and this is a strange thing that people should know that each of their steps is moving towards the Resurrection Day and they cannot go forth a single step but are unknowingly gathering pace towards it. This is a strange philosophy of life that one who is born is running towards his death and each living being has turned its face towards Resurrection Day. The whole system of construction is moving towards ultimate destruction and then too man remains ignorant and uncaring of his death and entirely unmindful of the chastisement of the Hereafter.
