of it, so He does not punish for it, and He, the Exalted, is too generous to repeat the punishment in the Hereafter, as for those who do not sin, what befalls them in this world is to raise their ranks in the Hereafter ", well, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: the commentator specified this to the believers, and the reason for the specification is that he said: and the disbelievers are not worthy of forgiveness, and his statement: he said: a calamity and hardship, and it includes religious misfortunes and worldly misfortunes, and which is greater? Religious misfortunes, for they are greater than worldly misfortunes, so if it were that someone was afflicted with a relapse, may Allah protect us, it is more severe than the destruction of his family and wealth, for religious misfortunes are far greater than worldly misfortunes, since worldly misfortunes disappear and are forgotten, as some said: either you have the patience of the noble, or you are consoled like the beasts, it must disappear, religious misfortunes, may Allah protect us, are a loss in this world and the Hereafter, so if someone asks: what is the evidence that turning away is among the misfortunes? The evidence is the statement of Allah, Blessed and Exalted: so reflect that sins became the cause of their turning away, and turning away is a great misfortune, the important thing is that his statement: includes the misfortunes of this world, such as the loss of wealth, the death of loved ones, fear and poverty, and the like, the misfortunes of religion, such as sins and innovations, hatred of the truth, hatred of the people of truth, and the like, all of it is meaning He forgives much of what you have sinned, so He does not hold you accountable for it.
