      One may say; obtaining the said characteristics and distinct qualifications, is not an easy task, and only certain men can reach to such spiritual stage of life.

      The answer to this is found in the above verse (NO.62)

      ``We charge no one with a duty except in extent of his ability ....''

      To subject people to a duty according to their capacity, is considered as a principle, in all Islamic commandments and injunctions that should be observed. This is because Allah will never charge a soul with any duty more than it can bear; or beyond the capacity of doing it. He does not want uneasiness by religion for His servants. He also keeps a true record of everything, and every act, in a special Book that He keeps.

      Of course, such realities can be effective, and are applicable to those who have a wakeful conscience and an uncontaminated soul. It may not do for those whose hearts have submerged in ignorance, so much so that doubt will not leave them throughout their life.

      Therefore, the unbelievers live in doubt, and reject the truth until they are pulled up for punishment, or death overtakes them. They then will ask for return and repentance, but too late now:ِ

      ``Until when Allah seizes in punishment, those of them who live in abundance and high level of welfare. Then they will begin to cry loudly and mournfully for help; and of course without any use for being too late.''

 

      The reason for such an evil fate of them, is that God's signs and verses were repeatedly rehearsed to them, but they paid no heed, and turned their faces with pride. They arrogantly rejected the Message of their Lord, and indeed deserved such dreadful destiny.

 

      In the ending of the passage, they are said to have been ``SÄMER'' which is from the root word, ``SAMAR'' and generally means, night talks, or moon light.

      A favourite amusement of the Arabs in Pagan Era, was their idle talks, and rehearsal of romantic poetries along the nights. Examples of such love lirics were hanged down from the ceiling of KAABEH, seven numbers of which are famous. It is also narrated that the Arab idolaters gathered together around KAABEH under the moon light, and talked against our prophet Mohammad (SA).
