موانع توفیق حرکت برای جهاد

منظور از بار سبک و بار سنگین» موانعی است که انسان را از جهاد در راه خدا باز می‌دارد؛ مانند کثرت مشاغل مالی و دنیایی» محبت به زن و فرزند و نزدیکان و دوستان که جدا شدن از آنها سخت است یا نبود سلاح و توشه برای سفر جنگ. انسانی که گرفتار این مسائّل استء سنگین‌بار است و کسی که از این تعلقات جداست» سبک‌بار. این آیه می‌فرماید که در هر حالی باید به سوی میدان جهاد حرکت کنید؛ چه وضعیت اول را داشته باشید و چه وضمیت دوم را.
