Maeda 119-120 (End of Sorah)
119- ALLAH SAID: THIS IS A DAY WHEN THE TRUTHFUL WILL BENEFIT FROM TRUTHFULNESS, THEY WILL HAVE GARDENS WITH RIVERS FLOWING UNDERNEATH, LIVING THERE FOR ETERNITY, ALLAH WILL BE PLEASED WITH THEM, AND THEY WILL BE PLEASED WITH ALLAH, SUCH IS THE GREATEST SUCCESS.
120- TO ALLAH BELONGS THE KINGDOM OF THE HEAVENS AND EARTH AND THERE IS IN THEM, AND IS ABLE OVER EVERYTHING.
The truthful does not always benefit from being truthful in this life. A man might speak the truth before an unjust leader and for this he gets killed or imprisoned. Or an employee might be able to save his job if he lies, yet speaking the truth makes him loose his job.
One might suffer because of supporting a just cause or defending the oppressed or unjustly treated person or people.
Being true in faith, can be difficult sometimes as there are often many opponents and there are times when this is not pleasing to every one. People of the same faith might see the true in faith to be wrong or even not a true believer. Yet holding to one’s true faith, might be like holding a piece of fire, as Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said.
The only time and place when being truthful is certainly rewarding, is the Hereafter, and when the faithful faces judgement. Allah the Highest loves the truth and loves to hear it from His truthful slaves. Then, they will be rewarded for their truthfulness, and they will be rewarded for it by Allah the Most Generous. The reward is the Paradise, where those Allah is pleased with will abide forever.
Allah the Highest ends Sorat Al-Maeda with the reminder that All the Heavens and Earth and every thing in them are His, and that He is able over all things and to do all thing. He can and will deliver what is promised.
Sorat Al-Maeda is believed to be the last Sorah of the Quran to be sent down. Therefore it includes many of the Last Ayahs to be sent down. It was sent down in Medina; therefore it contains many rules and laws to regulate the Muslims lives, which was not possible when they were few and oppressed in Makah. We ask Allah the Highest to guide us with it and to let it be light in our graves and on the Day or Resurrection.
