Statements about the Al-Zoha surah

4) And certainly your Hereafter will be better, for you, than this present life.

This verse denotes that this life is not useless since it is the way toward reaching a happy and pleasant life in the Hereafter and this is what Quran calls “Khair”. The God’s graces and benefactions in the next world for those having done well in this life are, however, much greater than what they are given in this short life.

6) Did he not find you an orphan and did he not give you shelter?

God’s benefactions are available to those who feel need to God’s protection and show feeling in various aspects of their lives. This might be considered as the more in-depth meaning of being “orphan”. Regarding this meaning, the prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) is said to have attracted God’s protection because of him being orphan not only due to his loss of parents but also as a deep internal feeling to the God protection. On the other hand, this feeling, itself, is a favor from God given to the prophet following his carefulness over his purity and so are us and the other human beings.
