Verses 12-14Verses 8-11

      Here in these verses some weak points of man are alluded to, which can lead him to the worst of the situations, corrupting his soul. They mock at the truth, and make fun of important matters that are serious and vital. When they hear the divine threats, and warnings of the prophets, they ridicule it for a little delay that has held their punishment back:ِ

      ``And if we delay the punishment from them for the time being they will say what keeps it back?''

      In other word, they say; if really there is such a thing as punishment, what has delayed it and who hinders it? In fact they mock at the threat, and in answer to their mockery God says:ِ

      ``The day when it will come to them there is nothing to turn it away from them; and their mockeries will encompass them.''

 

      Their second weak point is their low capacity for misfortune and happiness. When they are afflicted with a loss, they soon abandon to despair and fall to blasphemy. But when they are in affluence and opulence, they feel so sure that pride and vanity overcome them, and they take it as matter of course, or due to their merits, skills, and intellects!

      On the other hand the believers are always patient, be they in ill-fortune or good-fortune. In either cases they continue with their fair conducts and are thankful to God and expect to receive His Mercy and Grace again.

      We ought to realize that all the bounties are granted to Man through God's Mercy and Grace and not through his merits and quality of deserving. If not so; only a few have the necessary merits, and may deserve God's Grace or Mercy, which appears in the form of various bounties.

      The believers who have the power of continuing under pain and hardship without being overcome, are promised to have a two-fold results of their patience:ِ Their sins are forgiven, and they will also have great rewards for their deeds.
