[53] Now that believing man comes forward openly. Pharaoh had said that he was telling them only what he saw as the path of goodness according to his own insight. In response to Pharaoh’s statement, that believing man said that the path of goodness is not what you say—that Moses should be killed—but if you seek the path of goodness, then listen to me. I will show you the path of goodness, and that path is that this world is only for a few days; whether it passes in comfort and ease, it is of no consequence, and if it passes in hardship and difficulty, it will still pass. The real concern should be for the life of the Hereafter, which is eternal and everlasting. This world is only a place of trial. Even in this, Allah Almighty has kept many concessions for His obedient servants. For example, if someone does a bad deed, he will be recompensed only to that extent, but if someone does a good deed, he will be given a much greater reward. Therefore, consider this short life of the world as an opportunity and, by doing as many good deeds as possible, become deserving of a great reward.
