Verset: 39

وَأَن لَّيۡسَ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ

39. And that man shall have only what he himself strives for¹¹,

11. There is no doubt about the fact that man cannot make any progress without effort and hard work. For example, one who studies whole-heartedly becomes a scholar. Similarly, a farmer who ploughs the farm, sows seeds in it and waters them, is soon rewarded with crops. On the other hand, whoever is lazy and indolent and does not do any work, is faced with woes and worries. Indolence and irresponsibility results in poverty and grief, and Islam dislikes these traits very much. Islam regards hard work a duty. One who works is much better than one who does not work. Allah does not love those who sleep too much, and do not work. Laziness and idleness is the root of many evil things.

Verset: 40

وَأَنَّ سَعۡيَهُۥ سَوۡفَ يُرَىٰ

40. And that his strivings shall soon be seen -

Verset: 42

وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰ

42. And to your Lord (Allah) is the End (and the Return of all after their death).

Verset: 43

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَضۡحَكَ وَأَبۡكَىٰ

43. It is He (Allah) Who causes you laugh¹² or weep¹³.

12. The Qur’an is clear that there is a time for us to laugh, time to weep, a time to mourn and a time to play. Obviously, it is not appropriate to laugh during a somber event or a serious conversation; however, there are moments when laughter is welcomed and we should enjoy the blessing. Allah wants us to laugh, and He wants us to make other people laugh. That does not mean we should all become jesters or laugh at inappropriate times, but we can certainly aid one another in taking a more lighthearted approach to life.
13. If Allah’s servants did cry out to Him, He would forgive their sins and renew their spiritual strength and vitality. When our distinct cries of repentance and trust reach Allah, He hears them, forgives us, and renews our joy and hope in Him.

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَمَاتَ وَأَحۡيَا

Verset: 50

وَأَنَّهُۥٓ أَهۡلَكَ عَادًا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ

50. It is He (Allah) Who utterly destroyed the ‘Aad (people) of old.

Verset: 51

وَثَمُودَاْ فَمَآ أَبۡقَىٰ

51. And Thamud (people), so He spared none of them.
