195. " so their lord responded their prayer, (saying): ` i will not waste the work of any worker among you, whether male or female, the one of you being from the other. so, those who migrated and were driven out of their homes and suffered hurt in my way, and who fought and were killed, i will certainly cover their evil deeds, and i will certainly make them enter into gardens beneath which rivers flow, as a reward from allah; and allah! with him (only) is the fairest reward." commentary: the content of this verse follows the subject of the previous verses. it is about the people of understanding, the possessors of intellects, and the result of their deeds. upon the occasion of the revelation of this verse, it is said that once ` umm-us- salamah ' (one of the prophet's wives) asked the messenger of allah (p.b.u.h.) that there are many statements mentioned in the qur'an about holy war, immigration, and self-sacrifice of men, but do women have a share in them, too ? the verse was revealed and their lord answered this question as such: " so their lord responded their prayer, (saying): ` i will not waste the work of any worker among you, whether male or female, ..." there are some unawere people among non-muslims that sometimes accuse islam by saying that islam is the religion of males, not females. here, this statement makes it clear that how far such people are from the truth. through the next words, the verse indicates that in the process of creation all human beings relate to each other, because some of them have been born from some others, ie, women have been created from men and men from women. "... the one of you from the other. ..." in the continuation of the verse, it concludes that: "... so, those who migrated and were driven out of their homes and suffered hurt in my way, and who fought and were killed, i will certainly cover their evil deeds, ..." then, the qur'an adds that besides forgiving their sins they will certainly be placed in heaven containing of various bounties. it says: "... and i will certainly make them enter into gardens beneath which rivers flow, ..." this is a reward bestowed by allah which is given to them, for their self-sacrifice, and it is, of course, of the best rewards. it says: "... as a reward from allah; and allah! with him (only) is the fairest reward." this part of the verse is a hint to the fact that the godly rewards are not fully and completely recognized by the people in this world, but they ought to know that allah's reward is higher and more significant than any other rewards.
