Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:119

Only Truth will be of Benefit on the Day of Resurrection

Allah answers His servant and Messenger `Isa, son of Maryam, after he disowns the disbelieving Christians who lied about Allah and His Messenger, and when `Isa refers their end to the will of his Lord,

(This is a Day on which the truthful will profit from their truth.) Ad-Dahhak said that Ibn `Abbas commented, "This is the Day when Tawhid will benefit those who believed in it."

(Theirs are Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise) -- they shall abide therein forever.) and they will never be removed from it,

(Allah is pleased with them and they with Him.)

(But the greatest bliss is the good pleasure of Allah.) 9:72 We will mention the Hadiths about this Ayah 9:72 later on. Allah's statement,

(That is the great success.) means, this is the great success, other than which there is no greater success. Allah said in another Ayat,

(For the like of this let the workers work.) 37:61, and,

(And for this let (all) those strive who want to strive.) 83:26 Allah's statement,

(To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is therein, and He is able to do all things.) means, He created everything, owns everything, controls the affairs of everything and is able to do all things. Therefore, everything and everyone are in His domain and under His power and will. There is none like Him, nor is there rival, ancestor, son, or wife for Him, nor a lord or god besides Him. Ibn Wahb said that he heard Huyay bin `Abdullah saying that Abu `Abdur-Rahman Al-Habli said that `Abdullah bin `Amr said, "The last revealed Surah was Surat Al-Ma'idah."

Dalam ayat ini, Allah menjelaskan bahwa pada hari Kiamat, orang yang senantiasa berbuat tetap dalam tauhid, akan memperoleh manfaat dari kebenaran iman mereka dan dari kejujuran perbuatan dan perkataan mereka. Kemanfaatan yang mereka peroleh itu ialah: pertama kenikmatan surga, kenikmatan yang banyak memberi kepuasan jasmaniah, dan kedua kenikmatan rida Ilahi, kenikmatan yang memberikan ketenteraman dan kepuasan rohani. Segala amal perbuatan mereka diterima Allah sebagai ibadah dan Allah memberi anugerah dan keridaan kepada mereka. Mereka merasa bahagia memperoleh keridaan dari Allah. Tidak ada kenikmatan yang lebih besar dari penghargaan dari Allah. Allah rida terhadap mereka, dan mereka rida terhadap Allah. Inilah puncak kebahagiaan abadi dalam diri manusia. Kedua nikmat Allah ini ialah surga dan rida Ilahi yang diperoleh sesudah melewati perhitungan amal pada hari Kiamat.
