Quran

Visible deeds are assessed/rewarded commensurate with the levels of faith in the hearts. Faith levels in the hearts vary, and no one knows the levels of faith in the hearts except Allah. Ibn Taimyah: 4/461.
Question: Draw two benefits from this verse.

Because Allah mentioned their hastening to do good and their being foremost in that regard, some people may think that what is required of them and others is something too difficult and hard, so, Allah says, (And We do not burden a soul more than what it can bear). Al-Saadi: 554.
Question: Hastening to do good may become burdensome. How does this verse deal with this issue?

(But you used to turn back on your heels), you went backwards. By following the Quran, they could have advanced, but by turning away from it, they went backwards and became the lowest of the low. Al-Saadi: 555.
Question: In this verse, there is an indication that making Sharia the law of the land is the best way for progress and development. Explain.

Qatadah said: "By Allah, if the people had pondered its meaning and understood it properly, they would have found in the Quran a deterrent to disobeying Allah but they only focused on the unspecific verses which are not entirely clear, and so they went astray." Ibn Kathir: 3/242.
Question: What is the benefit of urging them to ponder the Quran?

Ibn Abbas (k) said: "Did they not know Muhammad as a child and a grown-up, did they not know his lineage, honesty, trustworthiness, and his truthfulness to his covenants." This is a rebuke to the disbelievers for turning away after knowing his truthfulness and honesty. Al-Baghawi: 3/252.
Question: Studying the Prophetic biography, and learning about the Prophet's (ﷺ) qualities is important. Explain.

Aversion to the truth is attributed to most, but not all, of the polytheists. That is in fairness to some, among them with sensible minds who knew the falsehood of shirk, and were inclining to the truth, but they had to go along with the tyrants of their people in order to maintain their safety and livelihood. Ibn Ashur: 18/91.
Question: Aversion to the truth is attributed to most, but not all, of the polytheists. Why?

(Were the Truth to follow their desires), if the truth follows what people desire and lust for, the world order will be nullified, because people's desires are different and go against each other. In essence, the truth is to be followed, and people should adhere to it. Al-Qurtubi: 15/72.
Question: There are limits to freedom. What will happen if these limits are removed?
