<strong>Al</strong>lah said,<br />

وَجَاهِدُواْ‏ فِي سَبِيلِهِ‏ لَعَل َّكُمْ‏ تُفْلِحُو ‏َن ﴿٣٥ ﴾<br />

and strive hard in His cause as much as you can. So that<br />

you may be successful.<br />

After <strong>Al</strong>lah commanded Muslims <strong>to</strong> avoid the<br />

prohibitions and <strong>to</strong> work <strong>to</strong>wards obedience, He<br />

commanded them <strong>to</strong> fight against their enemies,<br />

the disbelievers and idola<strong>to</strong>rs who have deviated<br />

from the straight path and abandoned the correct<br />

religion. <strong>Al</strong>lah encouraged the believers by<br />

reminding them <strong>of</strong> the unending success and<br />

great happiness that He prepared for them for the<br />

Day <strong>of</strong> Resurrection, which will never change or<br />

decrease for those who join Jihad in His cause.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y will remain in the l<strong>of</strong>ty rooms <strong>of</strong> Paradise<br />

that are safe and beautiful. Those who live in<br />

these dwellings will always be comfortable and<br />

will never be miserable, living, never dying, and<br />

their clothes will never grow thin, nor will their<br />

youth ever end.<br />

No Amount <strong>of</strong> Ransom Shall Be Accepted from the<br />

Disbelievers on the Day <strong>of</strong> the Judgment and <strong>The</strong>y Will Remain<br />

in the Fire<br />

<strong>Al</strong>lah then describes the painful <strong>to</strong>rment and punishment that<br />

He has prepared for His disbelieving enemies for the Day <strong>of</strong><br />

Resurrection.<br />

<strong>Al</strong>lah said,<br />

إِن َّ ال َّذِینَ‏ آَفَرُواْ‏ لَوْ‏ أَن َّ لَهُم م َّا فِي الأَرْضِ‏ جَمِيعًا وَمِثْلَهُ‏ مَعَهُ‏ لِيَفْتَدُواْ‏ بِهِ‏<br />

مِنْ‏ عَذَابِ‏ یَوْمِ‏ الْقِيَامَةِ‏ مَا تُقُب ِّلَ‏ مِنْهُمْ‏ وَلَهُمْ‏ عَذَابٌ‏ أَلِيمٌ‏<br />

﴾ ٣٦﴿<br />

Verily, those who disbelieve, if they had all that is in the<br />

earth, and as much again therewith <strong>to</strong> ransom<br />

themselves thereby from the <strong>to</strong>rment on the Day <strong>of</strong><br />

Resurrection, it would never be accepted <strong>of</strong> them. And<br />

theirs would be a painful <strong>to</strong>rment.<br />
