Commentary
And when this station is suitable for intercession; and for every station he stands in; and every station needs success in its undertaking; and separation from it; he followed it by urging (p-496) the continuity of vigilance; and feeling of need; by saying - presenting the entrance because it is the most important -: ﴿And say, My Lord﴾; that is: O You who brought me into existence; the One who manages my affairs; the Benefactor to me; ﴿Admit me﴾; in every station You wish to admit me into; physical; and spiritual; worldly; and otherworldly; ﴿A truthful entrance﴾; the one who enters it deserves to be told: You are truthful in your words; and your actions; for indeed, these two aspects will not be esteemed by Allah; ﴿And bring me out﴾; from everything You bring me out of; ﴿A truthful exit﴾.
And when truth in matters may not be compared to victory; He said (the Exalted): ﴿And make for me﴾; that is: specifically; ﴿from You﴾; that is: with You; from the miracles that are the strangest of the strange; ﴿A proof﴾; that is: an argument; and honor; ﴿A helper﴾; and in it is an indication of migration; and that it should be in the manner that time has revealed of the greatness; which no one has with it from "two hands".
