Verse 55Verses 51-54

      The above verses are complementary and contrary to the previous ones which dealt with the nonbelievers and hypocrites. The argument here is about the believers and their behaviour in their obedience:ِ

      ``The only word of the believers when they are called to Allah and to His Messenger to judge between them is that, they say:ِ ``We hear and we obey'' and they are the winners.''

      This, however is contrary to the creed of a nominal Muslim or a hypocrite, who will say openly and loudly:ِ ``We hear and obey'' but their hearts deny their tongues, and they do not obey in time.

      Contrary to them are the believers who eagerly wait for the prophet's order to hear and perform it perfectly.

      When the previous verses revealed some of the hypocrites who were anxious of their social position among Muslim, came to the prophet and swore by Allah their strongest oath, saying:ِ ``They would obey and follow the prophet's commands by all means; but in fact they were liars because they had not the light of faith and truth in their hearts.''

      Idle swear, when you believe not in the sworn, will have not the least value. Instead of boastings, supported by strong oath, you better have your mouth closed and open your hands. Instead of claiming we better be up and doing:ِ

      ``....Tell them don't swear. Reasonable obedience will do; because Allah is aware of whatever you do.''

      Of course, things are to be done by Man with his Free Will. No one forces us to obey God's order and religious commandments which have been explained to us by His apostles. The mission of the Messenger of God is only to convey and explain clearly whatever of Message he has received from our Lord. Therefore the responsibility for our conduct rests entirely upon ourselves, and we have to taste the reaction of our actions.
