Commentary: The verse refers to two classes of men believers who are described as obedient men endowed with knowledge and understanding; and disbelievers who are their opposites. 3445. Commentary: This verse warns believers that they will be made to pass through trials and tribulations and will have to leave even their hearths and homes for the sake of God. It is when they have successfully met the ordeal that they will find God's earth wide and spacious for them and will have their reward from God without measure. The reference in the verse seems to be to the Holy Prophet's Hijrah to Medina. It is in Medina that Islam found a congenial soil for expansion and consolidation and it is there that Muslims were given possession of God's spacious earth. 2746
