[Surat Al-Baqarah (The Cow) – C.2-V.5]



Photo: ‎“Those are upon [right] guidance from their Lord, and it is those who are the successful.” [Surat Al-Baqarah (The Cow) – C.2-V.5]
أُولَٰئِكَ عَلَىٰ هُدًى مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ ۖ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ

THE INTERPRETATION OF 'ULA'IKA 'ALA HUDAN MIN RABBI-HIM’: 

Those who believe in the Unseen are the believers among the Arabs. Those who believe in what has been sent down to you are the believers among the people of scripture. Then He combined the two groups and said: these are under guidance from their Lord, these are the ones who prosper.

Allama Ibn Zarir Tabari: We are of the opinion that this is the best Interpretation because Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) described the two groups as praiseworthy, then He praised them again and He would not have praised one of the two groups exclusively, since they were equal in their attributes which deserved praise. Similarly, it is not admissible, in His justice, that they be equal as far as the reward they deserved for their actions was concerned, and that He reward one of them exclusively and not the other, and deprive the other of the reward for their actions. The same applies to the course of praising them for actions, for praise is one part of the reward.
Those are under guidance from their Lord: They proceed according to a light from their Lord, a proof, with rectitude and correctness, and with Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) directing them and granting them success.

THE INTERPRETATION OF ‘WA-ULA'IKA HUMU 'L-MUFLIHUNA’:

Those are the ones who are granted success, who attain what gain and reward they seek from Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) through their actions and their belief in Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), His Books, and His Messengers, who achieve eternal life in the Gardens, and deliverance from the punishment which Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) has prepared for His enemies.

Prosperity must be taken as referring to all the kinds of bounty. The right use of one kind leads to an increase in that and other kinds, and that is prosperity.
