This verse contains some sort of glad-tidings and good news for the believers, as well as a threat and warning for the unbelievers: ``the kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs to God, Who has power over all things.'' So there is no reason for the believers to tread the by-passes and go zigzag to attain their goal of salvation and reach their progressive destination. By walking along their straight path of truth and using lawful and correct means they will prosper.
