Commentary
So be patient. Indeed, the promise of Allah is true. This means that the support of the messengers is guaranteed by Allah, and the guarantee of Allah does not fail. He cited Moses and what He granted him of the means of guidance and support against Pharaoh and his soldiers, and the preservation of the effects of His guidance among the Children of Israel. Allah will support you just as He supported them, and He will make you prevail over all religion. He will extend the dominion of your nation to the east and the west of the earth. So be patient with what your people are causing you of bitterness, for the outcome is yours. What I have promised you regarding your support and the elevation of your word is true. Engage in piety and make up for your shortcomings with seeking forgiveness. Continue in the worship of your Lord and in praising Him in the evenings and the mornings. It was said that these are the prayers of 'Asr and Fajr.
