Al-Baqarah - 2:45 And seek help in patience and As-Salât (the prayer) and truly it is extremely heavy and hard except for Al-Khâshi‘ûn [i.e. the true believers in Allâh - those who obey Allâh with full submission, fear much from His Punishment, and believe in His Promise (Paradise) and in His Warnings (Hell)]. [Muḥsin Khān/Taqī-ud-Dīn-al-Hilālī] ‎—————— Here, Allah commands them to seek help in their affairs by being patient in all situations. That means being patient in obeying Allah so that one may fulfil one's obligations properly, and being patient in refraining from disobedience, so that one may be able to keep away from it altogether. It also includes patience in accepting the decree of Allah when it is painful, so as to avoid becoming angry or discontented with it. Having patience and compelling oneself to do what Allah has enjoined is a great help in all situations. As a person strives to be patient, Allah will grant him patience. That also applies to prayer, which is the foundation of faith and keeps one from committing shameful and evil deeds. By means of prayer, a person may seek help in all his affairs. ﴾Indeed it﴿ that is, prayer ﴾is hard﴿ that is, difficult ﴾except for the humble﴿. It is easy and light for them, because humility, fear of Allah and hope for that which is with Him makes them do it happily, because they have the hope of reward and the fear of punishment. This is unlike the one who is not like that, for he has no motivation to do it, and if he does do it, it is one of the most burdensome of things for him. Humility means submission of the heart, being tranquil and turning to Allah (سبحانه و تعالى ), expressing one's utter need of Him, having faith in Him and believing in the meeting with Him. •••••••••• [Taysīr al-Karīm ar-Rahmān fī Tafsīr Kalām al-Mannān, Vol.1 pg 79-80 ] https://salafibookstore.com/product/tafseer-as-sadi-10-volumes/
