Tafseer ul Qur’aan
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
Juz 2-Surah Al Baqarah-148
وَلِكُلٍّ وِّجْهَةٌ هُوَ مُوَلِّيْهَا فَاسْتَبِقُوا الْخَيْرٰتِ ۗ اَيْنَ مَا تَكُوْنُوْا يَأْتِ بِكُمُ اللّٰهُ جَمِيْعًا ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ
💡”For each [religious following] is a direction toward which it faces. So race to [all that is] good. Wherever you may be, Allah will bring you forth [for judgement] all together. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.”[1]
📍 [1] That is, the people of each religion have a direction towards which they face in worship. It is not the issue of facing towards a particular direction, because that is one of the laws that may change with time and circumstance, and it is subject to abrogation or to change from one direction to another. Rather what matters is obeying Allah and seeking to draw closer to Him. This is a sign of blessing and piety; if one does not acquire it, he will be a loser in this world and in the hereafter, but if he acquires it, he will be a winner in the true sense of the word. This is something that is agreed upon in all religions, and it is the purpose for which Allah created the universe and enjoined it upon them.
The command to hasten to do good deeds implies more than a command to do good deeds, for hastening to do good deeds implies doing them in the best possible manner, and racing to do that. The one who takes this initiative in this world will be the first to attain paradise in the hereafter, and those who are foremost in the race will be the highest in status.
Good deeds include all obligatory duties, such as prayer, fasting, zakah, Hajj, ‘umrah, jihad and helping others and yourself.
As one o f the greatest motivations for hastening to do good deeds is the reward that Allah has connected to such deeds, He says: (Wherever you are, Allah will bring you all together, for Allah has power over all things). He will bring you all together on the Day of Resurrection, by His might and power, then he will requite each individual for what he did:
(…So He will requite those who do evil for their deeds, and He will reward those who do good with the best reward.) (an-Najm 53: 31) This verse is quoted as evidence for doing all kinds of good deeds, such as offering prayer when the time for it begins; hastening to do what is required of fasting, Hajj, ‘umrah and praying zakah; offering sunnah acts of worship and so on. How comprehensive and beneficial this verse is!
اَلـلّٰـهُ أَعْلَمْ
اَلْحَمْدُ لِـلّٰـهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ
