61.10-11-12

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا هَلْ اَدُلُّكُمْ عَلٰى تِجَارَةٍ تُنْجِیْكُمْ مِّنْ عَذَابٍ اَلِیْمٍ(10) تُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ رَسُوْلِهٖ وَ تُجَاهِدُوْنَ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ بِاَمْوَالِكُمْ وَ اَنْفُسِكُمْؕ-ذٰلِكُمْ خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَۙ (11) یَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوْبَكُمْ وَ یُدْخِلْكُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ وَ مَسٰكِنَ طَیِّبَةً فِیْ جَنّٰتِ عَدْنٍؕ-ذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِیْمُۙ (12)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

O you who believe! Shall I guide you to a trade which will save you from painful punishment? [1] That you believe in Allah and His Messenger and you perform Jihad in the way of Allah with your wealth and your lives. This is better for you, if you know. [1] He will forgive your sins and make you enter Gardens beneath which rivers flow and pure abodes in everlasting gardens. This is supreme success.

Commentary

[1]

Believing in Allah Almighty and performing Jihad in His Way with one’s wealth and life has been dubbed as “trade” because it engenders the profit of Allah’s pleasure, Paradise, and salvation. May we become more focussed on this trade.

[2]

After faith, salah is second in hierarchy. However, here, Jihad has been mentioned after faith as there was a great need for jihad to take place at the time. Regarding the virtue of Jihad, a hadith states: “Allah has guaranteed that whoever sets out in His cause only due to belief in Him and His messengers will be sent back either with reward or spoils of war, or be made to enter Paradise.” (Ṣaḥīḥ Al-Bukhārī:32)
