Al-Anbiyaa (The Prophets)

106. “Verily in this is a (great) message for a people (who) worship.”

We were acquainted by the previous verse that the heritage and the government of the righteous ones on the earth will, in fact, actualize with two conditions. One of them is the pure servitude before Allah, which was referred to with the word ‘My servants’; and the second condition of it is earning the eligibility of being ‘righteous’.

The abovementioned verse again implicitly emphasizes on the fact that the servants must receive this message that they must both become pure in servitude, and elevate themselves from the stage of general and common ‘worshipping’ to the stage of especial submission (My servant), and try to create eligibility in them.

The verse says:

“Verily in this is a (great) message for a people (who) worship.”

Amir-ul-Mu’mineen Ali (as) says:

“(Fear) Allah (and) keep Allah in view in the matter of the Qur’an. No one should excel you in acting upon it.”1

Therefore, the good servants of Allah should receive the message of Allah before any other persons.
