[2] That is, the deeds of people and their outcomes, which are mutually contradictory and different. Among them, the deeds of one group are as follows:
1. He kept spending in the way of Allah.
2. He spent his entire life in fear of Allah and in obedience to Him.
3. He affirmed every good thing. By "good thing" is meant faith in the unseen, the signs of Allah, the oneness of Allah, affirmation of the Messenger, and the fulfillment of noble morals. In other words, in these three brief phrases, the entire summary of the Shariah has been presented: whoever does these things, Allah makes it easy for him to follow the commands of Shariah and to become deserving of entry into Paradise. He grants him the ability to do good deeds, to the extent that following the path of evil becomes difficult for him.
Here, a question arises: why has this very path been described by Allah Almighty in Surah Al-Balad, verse 11, as a steep and difficult path? The answer is that this path is, in fact, contrary to the desires of the self. Therefore, in the beginning, it truly seems burdensome and a difficult path to human nature. But when one sets out on this path with firm resolve, Allah Almighty makes this very path easy for him, and it even begins to seem easy to him. One aspect of this is that the doors of lawful sustenance and lawful earning are opened for him, and earning through unlawful means becomes extremely distasteful to him. This is the condition of one group.
