2433 He never said like Pharaoh, "I am your Lord Most High!" (lxxix. 24). On the contrary his punishments were humbly
regulated as not being final, and he laid more stress on the good he could do to those who lived normal lives in faith
and righteousness. His rule was easy to them: he imposed no heavy tasks because of his power, but gave every
opportunity to rich and poor for the exercise of virtue and goodness. Such is the spiritual lesson to be learned from the
first episode. (18.88)
18:106- That is their reward Hell; because they rejected Faith and took My Signs and My Messengers by way of jest.

False motives, pretence, deception, and hypocrisy, flourish because people do not take the higher life seriously. In
effect they treat it as a jest. Signs and Messengers are sent as a special and personal Mercy from Allah, and for such
things the first person singular is used as in this verse, even when it involves a sudden transition from the first person
plural as in the last verse. (18.106 )
20:15 - "Verily the Hour is coming My design is to keep it hidden for every soul to receive its reward by the measure of its
endeavor. 25452546
2545 The first need is to mend our lives and worship and serve Allah, as in the last verse. The next is to realise the
meaning of the Hereafter, when every soul will get the meed of its conduct in this life. (20.15)
2546 Ukhfi may mean either "keep it hidden", or "make it manifest", and the Commentators have taken, some one meaning
and some the other. If the first is taken, it means that the exact hour or day when the Judgment comes is hidden from
man; if the second, it means that the fact of the Judgment to come is made known, that man may remember and take
warning. I think that both meanings are implied. (20.15)
20:76 - Gardens of Eternity beneath which flow rivers: they will dwell therein for aye: such is the
reward of those who purify themselves (from evil). 2598
2598 As the Egyptian magicians had done when they confessed the One True God. (20.76)
24:38 - That Allah may reward them according to the best of their deeds and add even more for
them out of His Grace: for Allah doth provide for those whom He will without measure. 3009
3009 The best of the righteous do not deserve the reward that they get: all their faults are forgiven, and only their best
actions are considered in the reward that they get. Nay, more! Out of the unbounded Grace of Allah even more is
added to them. For in giving rewards, Allah's bounty is boundless. (24.38)
25:15 - Say: "Is that best or the eternal Garden promised to the righteous? For them that is a
reward as well as a goal (of attainment). 30693070
3069 Shifting the scene back to this life, they may fairly be asked: "Here is the result of the two courses of conduct: which
do you prefer?" (25.15)
3070 To the righteous, the final Bliss will in one sense be a reward. But the word "reward" does not truly represent facts, for
two reasons: (1) the Bliss will be greater than they deserved; and (2) righteousness is its own reward. The best way of
expressing the result would be to say that their highest Wish will now have been attained; the goal will have been
reached; they will be in Allah's Presence. That is salvation in the highest. (25.15)
26:41 - So when the sorcerers arrived they said to Pharaoh: "Of course shall we have a (suitable)
reward if we win?" 3161
26:109 - "No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds:
26:127 - No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds.
26:145 - "No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds.
26:164 - "No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds.
26:180 - "No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds.
27:90 - And if any do evil their faces will be thrown headlong into the Fire: "Do ye receive a reward
other than that which ye have earned by your deeds?" 33203321
3320 Headlong: it may be that the very things of which we were proudest, which we considered foremost in our present
order of the world, will be the first to go into the Fire, as they are but the window-dressing (=faces) of Evil. (27.90)
3321 There will be no punishment except such as has been deserved by actual conduct in the present life of probation.

28:25 - Afterwards one of the (damsels) came (back) to him walking bashfully. She said: "My father
