Surah Az-Zumar 39:12

The Command for Taqwa, Emigration and to worship Him alone with all Sincerity

Allah commands His believing servants to remain steadfast in their obedience and have Taqwa of Him.

(Say: "O My servants who believe, have Taqwa of your Lord. Good is for those who do good in this world...") means, the one who does good deeds in this world, will have a good (reward) in this world and in the Hereafter.

(and Allah's earth is spacious!) Mujahid said, "So emigrate through it and strive hard and keep away from idols."

(Only those who are patient shall receive their reward in full, without reckoning.) Al-`Awza`i said, "Their reward will not be weighed or measured; they will be given an immense reward." As-Suddi said:

(Only those who are patient shall receive their reward in full, without reckoning.) means, "In Paradise."

(Say: "Verily, I am commanded to worship Allah, making religion sincerely for Him...") means, `I am commanded to worship Allah alone in all sincerity, with no partner or associate.'

(And I am commanded (this) in order that I may be the first of the Muslims.)

Rasulullah juga diperintahkan menjadi orang yang pertama kali berserah diri kepada Allah. Dengan demikian, Rasulullah menjadi suri teladan yang harus dicontoh seluruh perbuatannya dan dijauhi apa yang dilarangnya. Dia menjadi teladan dalam hal memurnikan tauhid, memurnikan ibadah, dan membersihkan diri dari tingkah laku dan perbuatan orang-orang musyrik Mekah.

Berserah diri yang dimaksud dalam ayat ini ialah tunduk pada seluruh ketentuan Allah, baik yang berhubungan dengan perintah-perintah syara' atau pun tunduk dan patuh terhadap ketentuan Allah yang berhubungan dengan sunnah kauniyah.
