Exegesis of the Noble Verse: (And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty)

Question:
The questioner asks: What is the meaning of the verse (And worship your Lord until death comes to you)?

Answer:
The answer: It means: persist in the worship of your Lord until death comes to you. The work of the Muslim does not end except with death, and it has no limit that, once reached, causes one to cease from worship, as is the case with the Sufis who say that if you reach the stage of witnessing and knowledge of Allah, there is no need for work. This is misguidance, may Allah protect us from it. The Muslim continues in the worship of his Lord until death comes to him.
