W hen the believers forget something, they should remem-
ber Allah's name, for there is a positive aspect to re-
W membering, if Allah has willed it to be in that person's
best interests to be so. Remembering His name can be a healing in a sit-
uation of forgetfulness, but one can remember only if Allah wills it be-
cause some benefit will result.
Then, the verse orders the Prophet (saas) to pray to Allah for a vic-
tory close at hand. Success in our worldly lives is sometimes achieved
in the long-term, while at other times it is a short-term thing.
Sometimes one works really hard and puts much effort into a project
without seeing any short-term success. Thus, it is necessary to remain
determined and patient for a long time. Such perseverance contains a
multitude of good and much educational value. However, believers
also can ask Allah for success in the short term. The important thing is
to turn to Allah with a true heart, as did Prophet Shu`ayb (as), who
said: "My success is with Allah alone. I have put my trust in Him, and
I turn to Him" (Surah Hud, 88). Those who trust Allah, knowing that
He has created all things, can expect His support at all times. Allah re-
minds the Prophet (saas) that only He can lead someone to an easy suc-
cess: "We will ease you to the Easy Way." (Surat al-A`la, 8)
