Ayah 38
Surah At-Tawba
O you who have believed, what is [the matter] with you that, when you are told to go forth in the cause of Allah, you adhere heavily to the earth? Are you satisfied with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But what is the enjoyment of worldly life compared to the Hereafter except a [very] little.﴿38﴾
Translation
O you who have believed, what is [the matter] with you that, when you are told to go forth in the cause of Allah, you adhere heavily to the earth? Are you satisfied with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But what is the enjoyment of worldly life compared to the Hereafter except a [very] little.
Simplified Tafsir
يا أيها الذين صدَّقوا الله ورسوله وعملوا بشرعه، ما بالكم إذا قيل لكم: اخرجوا إلى الجهاد في سبيل الله لقتال أعدائكم تكاسلتم ولزمتم مساكنكم؟ هل آثرتم حظوظكم الدنيوية على نعيم الآخرة؟ فما تستمتعون به في الدنيا قليل زائل، أما نعيم الآخرة الذي أعده الله للمؤمنين المجاهدين فكثير دائم.
