The Literal Meaning of ﴿كَدْحا﴾:
﴿كَدْحاً﴾ ﴿كَدَحَ﴾ means to work very hard at something; to do something while enduring hardships; to keep working at something with difficulty. The situation is such that a desire arises in a person's heart, and he sets out to fulfill it. Before that desire is even fully realized, another desire or desires arise in his heart. Then, after fulfilling the first desire, he girds himself to fulfill the next one, and in this way, his entire life passes by. It makes no difference whether the person having these desires is a worldly individual whose every desire revolves around attaining worldly benefits, or whether he is a religious and obedient servant of Allah who does everything for the attainment of benefits in the Hereafter. In terms of working hard, enduring hardships, and continuing to strive, the method of both is the same until death overtakes him and he automatically reaches the presence of Allah. Now, if someone keeps thinking that all his striving is limited only to the life of this world, this mistaken notion will not actually make any difference to reality, and he will only come to rest when he reaches his Lord.
