Commentary
This reality has been
disclosed in this verse of the Holy Qur’an that the Natural
Religion i.e. Islam is very easy and simple. Islam does not desire severe
hardships, arduous labors or impracticable worships. Moreover, much capacity
and countless facilities have been kept in Islam. Weak and pressed people have
been conceded. There is none such command in the Divine Law of Islam in which
consideration regarding circumstances, age, health, season and other
compulsions and difficulties of the human being would not have been kept
before.
It was commanded in
the previous verse that whosoever of you exists during the month of Ramadan,
should fast. Perhaps it might be considered by some individuals that the entire
people have come under this command and there is no concession for the
excusable persons. So now this command has been repeated that those individuals
who are ailing or in journey, they can keep fasting during any other month
instead of the month of Ramadan and can obtain pleasure of God
Almighty.
It has been known also
by us from this verse that although, apparently the commands of Divine are felt
some more arduous and difficult but in fact, those are for success, promotion
and easiness of the Straight Path, because God Almighty has no enmity with us
that He would have commanded us difficult. But He is our Creator, Worshiped and
the Most Beneficent. He keeps regard in every condition for easiness and
facility. His every command is for our advisability of life and prosperity.
The
Commands, to which we suppose difficult, in fact, those are easy too. We
consider them difficult due to our own laziness and comfort. Really we have
never heard till today that whether any individual has died due to the fasts of
Ramadan or somebody has become sick? In spite of this, we have observed that
the individuals have recovered from illness due to fasting, and then what will
let you say about the spiritual power?
