Continuation of the benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “So he turned to their gods and said, ‘Do you not eat? What is wrong with you that you do not speak? So he turned against them and struck them with his right hand.’”

And among the benefits of His saying is also the clarification of the strength of Ibrahim (peace be upon him).
And among its benefits is also that a person should be serious and resolute when he performs a task, doing it with strength, without hesitation or laziness. This is contrary to what some people do in their work, where you find them facing their tasks with weakness, hesitation, and laziness. In reality, a person is with himself as he has become accustomed; if he becomes accustomed to resolution and strength, and does not leave a task for a future time, he becomes resolute in his works and aware of them. However, if he is lazy and negligent, saying, “I will leave this thing for tomorrow,” the tasks will accumulate upon him, and he will eventually find himself unable to handle them. Is that not so? Because if he delays today’s work to tomorrow, two tasks will gather upon him: the past task and the present one. If he delays it again, three tasks will gather upon him, and so on, until he becomes exhausted and weary. For this reason, a person who has missed fasts in Ramadan is prohibited from delaying making them up until after the second Ramadan. Why? Because if he delays them to the second year, the debts will accumulate upon him, and he will consequently become unable to make up these missed fasts. The important point is that from His saying , it is derived that a person should face his tasks with strength and resolution so that he can complete them with ease.
