And O my people, how strange it is that I call you to salvation, and you call me to Fire.[3526]
Commentary:
It is worthy of note that while according to other religions, the highest goal of man is نـجاة i.e. deliverance from sin and its evil consequences, the goal according to Islam is فلاح (23:2) which is attainment of the noble and supreme object for which man has been created and which consists in winning God’s pleasure. Thus the stage of فلاح (attainment of one’s object) is clearly much higher in man’s spiritual development than that of نـجاة.
