Commentary

And when the answer was as I mentioned, he followed it with an explanation and said, calling with a tool suitable for distance, because the one being called is among the closest of the ranks, beginning with the righteous, for the last of the deficiency which this is an explanation for is the entrance of joy upon them: ﴿O mankind﴾ [that is -] the ones who are aware of themselves, forgetting their Lord. And when most people deny the resurrection, he emphasized and said: ﴿Indeed, you are laboring﴾ meaning striving and working with effort for yourself, whether good (p-339) or evil, and most of it affects with scratches, blemishes, corruption, and scattering, ending ﴿to your Lord﴾ who created you and raised you by working with what He wants, in meaning and with death in sensation. And he indicated to the striving of everyone in what he is in, and He created for him by affirming with the source, and he said: ﴿Labor﴾ meaning great ﴿and you will meet Him﴾ meaning your meeting with your Lord is a following of your labor. And it becomes clear to you that you were on your way to Him like the one striving for his meeting, striving like one who races another in that. And all of that is a representation of the penetration of His will and the fulfillment of His decrees due to the ending to Him. And its reality meets its recompense, and it becomes clear to you from the greatness of His matter [what -] is revealed to the one who meets with whom he encounters due to the meeting. And this is a matter you are striving in with utmost striving, for whoever has night and day as his mounts will undoubtedly reach the end of his journey, whether he wants to or not. So the mention of this in this manner is an encouragement to strive in doing good in action, for whoever is certain that he must present himself to the King will expend his effort in working with what he is praised for when he meets Him.
