And when he urged action, he clarified that it is only for the benefit of the doer. So that it does not occur to anyone what would cause the toil of this world and the misery of the Hereafter from believing in what is not befitting to His majesty, glorified and exalted is He. He said, adding to what he means by saying: 'Whoever gives his soul rest in this world, he has only harmed himself.' And 'Whoever strives' means: he exerts his effort as if he is racing another in good deeds. 'He is striving for himself' because the benefit of that is for him. He tires it to give it rest, and he makes it suffer to make it happy, and he kills it to give it life. He expressed it with 'soul' because it is the one that commands evil. And he has omitted what is claimed to be meant because the context is for striving. Then he justified this restriction with his saying: 'Indeed, Allah,' meaning: the Exalted above any blemish of deficiency, 'is Self-Sufficient.' He emphasized that the abundance of commands may lead the ignorant to assume the need, and that is the point of mentioning the greatest name. He clarified that His richness is absolute richness by his saying 'from Him.' 'From the worlds' so obedience does not benefit Him, nor does disobedience harm Him.
