This is the last verse of the long chapter of ALLI-IMRAN (THE HOUSE OF IMRAN), and it consists of a comprehensive instruction in four articles as follows:

      1) At the beginning, the believers are addressed that they ought to be patient against hardship, misfortune and caprices.

      2) In the second article, the instruction given by Qurän, is to be steadfast and resistive against the enemies.

      3) The third instruction to Muslims is to be on-call and stand-by; paying permanent attention to the borders of Islamic countries and territories. This is to avoid being surprised or attacked unaware. They have to pay attention and beware of the attacks of Satan and his hosts.

      4) And the last and fourth instruction, is like an umbrella that will cover the other three, and that is to guard themselves against evil deeds and become pious and godly. The result of observing the above instruction is `FALÄH', translated here to prosperity, but in a wider sense it may mean success in mundane and earthly affairs, as well as spiritual progress, and salvation.
