Reflection — Ibn Kathir

Do not look at the Enjoyment of the Wealthy, be patient in the worship of Allah

Allah, the Exalted, says to His Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, "Do not look at what these people of luxury and their likes and peers have of nice comforts. For verily, it is only short-lived splendor and a feeble bounty, which We are using to test them with. And very few of My servants are truly thankful." Mujahid said,

أَزْوَجاً مِّنْهُمْ

Reflection — Maarif ul Quran

فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَصْحَابُ الصِّرَ‌اطِ السَّوِيِّ وَمَنِ اهْتَدَىٰ (Then you will know who are people of the straight path and who has guidance - 20:135.) It means that though everybody is free to claim merit for his own ways and his own actions, these claims are of no value, because the correct way is that only which finds favour with Allah, and on the Day of Resurrection everybody will be made aware as to who followed the path of error and who took the road to salvation.

اللہُمَّ اھدنا لما اختلف فیہ الی الحَقَ باذنکَ ولاحَول ولا قُوَأۃَ الَّابِک ولا ملجأ مِنکَ الَّا اِلَیک
