Have trust in what Allah (swt) is able to do and depend on Him. And there is nothing more beloved to the shaitan than sadness of a believer. For this reason, be happy, optimistic and think good about Allah (swt). The most beloved thing to the shaytan is to make the believing slave sad by taking him off track. The Prophet (ﷺ) sought refuge in Allah (swt) from sadness (اللهم إني أعوذ بك من الهم والحزن). Sadness weakens the heart and diminishes determination and wanting to go forward. Ibn Qayyim said the word (الحزن) – (sadness) does not appear in the Quran only in the form of forbidding it ( ولا تهنو ولاتحزنوا) or in the form of negating it (فلاخوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون). And the reason for this is because there is no benefit for having sadness in the heart. The rules determined by God make it possible that you may score a victory or suffer a defeat, but the ultimate end after enduring the test and striving hard for God’s cause, will be in your favour. If you are truly believers, then you are superior. Therefore, you have to demonstrate the strength of your faith by not losing heart and you must not grieve. Your place on earth is superior, because God has promised you to inherit the earth, while they will sink into oblivion. Other people are unaware of this guidance, and have gone astray. Moreover, your role is superior, because you have been selected for a position of trust, to convey God’s guidance to all mankind.
It tells them: You have a superior way of life, because you follow a method established by God while the methods followed by other groups have been devised by His creatures.
This sūrah makes it plain to the believers that they are indeed superior and far more exalted than other people. Believers prostrate themselves only to God, while others prostrate before one, or more, of His creatures. They will gain the upper hand, because they have a superior faith.
Believers must not lose heart, nor should they allow grief to overtake them because of what may happen.
