perform and for the acts which Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has forbidden to perform so that it can become obvious as to what extent we have acted upon the commandments. Besides this we should imagine the torment of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and the disgrace of the Day of Judgement keeping in mind that today we are busy committing sins day and night by hiding ourselves from people, but if tomorrow on the Judgement Day my sins get disclosed, so how terribly we will feel ashamed. If we recite the Holy Quran with such careful consideration, so اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ the state of sorrow will be developed and perhaps tears may fall from our eyes and our heart may become restless for the concern about the Hereafter.

عطا کر مجھے ایسی رِقّت خدایا

کروں روتے روتے تلاوت خدایا

Dear Islamic brothers! Acting upon the manner of our pious predecessors we should also recite the Holy Quran more and more. We should also try to act upon the commandments mentioned in it. In verse 29 of Surah Al-Faatir,   part 22, referring to the excellence of those who recite the Holy Quran, offer Salah following His commandment, pay Zakah on time and give Sadaqah Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has stated:

اِنَّ  الَّذِیۡنَ  یَتۡلُوۡنَ  کِتٰبَ اللّٰہِ  وَ اَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوۃَ  وَ اَنۡفَقُوۡا  مِمَّا رَزَقۡنٰہُمۡ  سِرًّا  وَّ عَلَانِیَۃً  یَّرۡجُوۡ نَ    تِجَا رَۃً    لَّنۡ    تَبُوۡرَ   ﴿ۙ۲۹﴾

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Indeed those who read the Book of Allah, and keep the prayer established, and spend from what We have bestowed upon them in secret and publicly, are hopeful of a trade in which there is never a loss. (Part 22, Surah Al-Faatir, verse 29)

Regarding this blessed verse in Tafseer Baghawi, it has been mentioned that ‘تِجَارَةً’ means the reward for which Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has promised. Surely, it has no loss, that is, its reward will neither be invalid nor be destroyed.
