The first group are those who are the successful ones in the sight of Allah Ta\u2018ala, and the second group are those who are unsuccessful in the sight of Allah Ta\u2018ala. These two groups are referred to in the aforementioned verses.<\/p>\n<p>The characteristics of the first group are that they (1) give charity in the cause of Allah Ta\u2018ala to gain His pleasure, (2) they fear Allah Ta\u2018ala at all times and refrain from violating the commands of Allah Ta\u2018ala in all facets of their lives, (3) and they believe in the best word and strive to fulfil whatever it guides them towards.<\/p>\n<p>Hazrat Ibnu Abbaas (radhiyallahu \u2018anhuma) and Dahhaak (rahimahullah) explain that the \u201cbest word\u201d refers to the Kalimah Tayyibah. Testifying to the Kalimah signifies imaan (true faith) which is the essence of all good deeds in Islam.<\/p>\n<p>From these three actions, bringing imaan has been mentioned last, even though it comes first in rank, as it is the basis for the acceptance for every action a person carries out. Probably, the reason for mentioning it last is to indicate that the first two should be carried out with imaan which relates to the heart. Whatever action a person carries out, it should conform to imaan.<\/p>\n<p>The second group is the unsuccessful servants. The characteristics of the second group are that they (1) are miserly with their wealth to such an extent that they even fail to discharge the zakaat and other monetary obligations, (2) they deem themselves independent and self-sufficient rather than obeying Allah Ta\u2018ala and fulfilling His commands, (3) and they reject the best word (i.e. they reject the Kalimah Tayyibah).<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" dir=\"RTL\" style=\"text-align: center; font-family: quran; font-size: 16pt;\">\u0641\u064e\u0633\u064e\u0646\u064f\u06cc\u064e\u0633\u0651\u0650\u0631\u064f\u06c1\u0657\u00a0 \u0644\u0650\u0644\u06e1\u06cc\u064f\u0633\u06e1\u0631\u0670\u06cc \u0615\ufd3f\u06f7\ufd3e<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>then We will make easy for him (to tread upon) the easy path (leading to Jannah).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The word \u201cyusra\u201d literally denotes \u201cease and comfort\u201d or \u201ca thing in which there is no difficulty\u201d, but in this verse, it refers to Jannah.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the meaning of this verse is that the one who treads on the path of guidance, We will make the path to Jannah easy for him.<\/p>\n<p>The word \u201cusra\u201d is the opposite of \u201cyusra\u201d and denotes \u201cextreme distress and difficulty\u201d, but in this verse, it refers to Jahannum (hellfire).<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the one who treads on the wrong path, We will make the path to Jahannum easy for him.<\/p>\n<p>These two verses, regarding the two categories of servants, signify that those who exert their efforts in the direction of Jannah or Jahannum, then Allah Ta\u2018ala will make it easy for them to perform such deeds that will lead them to the destination they are moving towards.<\/p>\n<p>This does not mean that Allah Ta\u2018ala is going to force them to do such actions, rather it means that such actions will become easy for them through their own choice.<\/p>\n<p>According to some Mufassireen, both these verses show that the nature of both groups of people will become such that they will feel comfortable doing such deeds which will lead to their destination in the Hereafter &#8211; either Jannah or Jahannum.<\/p>\n<p>In one Hadith, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) mentioned,<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" dir=\"RTL\" style=\"text-align: center; font-family: 'Traditional Arabic'; font-size: 16pt;\">\u0627\u0639\u0645\u0644\u0648\u0627 \u0641\u0643\u0644 \u0645\u064a\u0633\u0631 \u0644\u0645\u0627 \u062e\u0644\u0642 \u0644\u0647 \u0623\u0645\u0627 \u0645\u0646 \u0643\u0627\u0646 \u0645\u0646 \u0623\u0647\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0639\u0627\u062f\u0629 \u0641\u064a\u064a\u0633\u0631 \u0644\u0639\u0645\u0644 \u0623\u0647\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0639\u0627\u062f\u0629 \u0648\u0623\u0645\u0627 \u0645\u0646 \u0643\u0627\u0646 \u0645\u0646 \u0623\u0647\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0642\u0627\u0621 \u0641\u064a\u064a\u0633\u0631 \u0644\u0639\u0645\u0644 \u0623\u0647\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0642\u0627\u0648\u0629 \u062b\u0645 \u0642\u0631\u0623: \u0641\u0623\u0645\u0627 \u0645\u0646 \u0623\u0639\u0637\u0649 \u0648\u0627\u062a\u0642\u0649 \u0648\u0635\u062f\u0642 \u0628\u0627\u0644\u062d\u0633\u0646\u0649 (\u0635\u062d\u064a\u062d \u0627\u0644\u0628\u062e\u0627\u0631\u064a\u060c \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0642\u0645: 4949)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Perform deeds, for everyone will have the deeds of what he was created for (Paradise or Hell) made easy for him.
