* Note 002:219.  This verse lays down the following four qualifications that anyone can easily have.

  1. Those who have believed and embraced the Faith and
  2. Migrated by fleeing from their native lands, and
  3. Strove to do good and fight in the causes of Allah, and
  4. Looked forward to the Mercy of Allah.

 

Anyone who combines all four characteristics is assured to find Allah the most Forgiving and most Merciful.

 

And theme of the verse is illustrated by the famous Hadeeth.    The wife Hudzrut Ayesha r.a enumerated some virtues of her husband the Holy Prophet s.a.w and then asked him: “Surely Allah will admit you into the paradise.”   The answer was, “Only by His Grace.”

 

This could be one reason why (1) Moslems (2) migrants (3) doing good (4) look towards the Almighty God forgiving all their human fragilities and shortcomings.
