Verses 8-9Verses 4-7

      Following the argument which was about the general test of God, the non-believers are threatened here, not to think that God will not punish them after His respite:

      ``Or do those who do evil think that they can leave us behind? So bad is that which they judge.''

      If the non-believers think that they can frustrate Allah in His plans, they are indeed at fault; because many a time is when God fulfils his intention by the hand of those who do not believe in Him.

      Then the matter of God's visit has been put forth that: ``He who expect to visit Allah, let him know that, Allah's term is coming, and He is All-hearing, All-knowing.''

      This verse tells the believers that, if they really expect to visit Allah, they must be hardy and active in God's way, and cease not endeavour until they have reached their sacred object.

      Of course, the visit of God is not seeing him by the sense of sight. It is to reach an spiritual position, in which there is not any veil, curtain, or partition, between God and His servant. There in that position the servant will know that his Lord is the Manifest Truth.

      The quest of a true believer is God. He always will try to increase his knowledge and recognition of Allah by doing righteous deeds. The believer in all his movements is looking for God's pleasure because he is in love with God. He has no other object of hope, but to meet his beloved Lord in anyway that might be possible.

      The last verse (NO.7), is a complementary to the previous ones, which explains in brief how to strive in the way of God, and what a result may you get out of your strife; that is to say; whatever of good deeds we do, it will result in our own benefit, and God will gain or lose nothing in that, because He is essentially free from want. Therefore when we serve or worship Him, we confer no benefit on Him. We rather seek our own spiritual progress. So is the case when we do evil, the reaction of which will return back to injure our very soul.
