21:105 - Before this We wrote in the Psalms after the Message (given to Moses): My servants the
righteous shall inherit the earth." 27592760
2759 Zabur: the Book of the Psalms of David. The name of David is expressly mentioned in connection with the Zabur in iv.
163 and xvii. 55, although there the indefinite article is applied to the word as meaning a Book of Scripture. See
Psalms xxv. 13, "his seed shall inherit the earth"; xxxvii. 11, "the meek shall inherit the earth" (quoted by Jesus in
Matt. v.3); and xxxvii. 29, "the righteous shall inherit the land." (21.105)
2760 The same promise occurs in the Pentateuch, Exod. xxxii. 13. (21.105)
22:50 - "Those who believe and work righteousness for them is forgiveness and a sustenance most
generous. 2829
2829 The "sustenance" must be construed in the widest sense, spiritual as well as intellectual and physical. The reward of
righteousness is far more generous than any merit there may be in the creature following the Will of his Creator.
(22.50)
24:55 - Allah has promised to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds that He will
of a surety grant them in the land inheritance (of power) as He granted it to those before them;
that He will establish in authority their religion the one which He has chosen for them; and that
He will change (their state) after the fear in which they (lived) to one of security and peace:
`They will worship Me (alone) and not associate aught with Me.' If any do reject faith after this
they are rebellious and wicked. 30313032
3031 Three things are promised here, to those who have Faith and obey Allah's Law: (1) that they will inherit power and
authority in the land, not for any selfish purposes of theirs nor by way of favouritism, but in order that they may
maintain Allah's Law; (2) that the Religion of Right, which Allah has chosen for them, will be openly established, and
will suppress all wrong and oppression; (3) that the righteous will live in peace and security, instead of having to suffer
persecution, or leave their hearths and homes for the cause of Allah, or practise the rites of their Faith in secret.
(24.55)
3032 If this verse was revealed about the time of the Battle of the Ditch (Khandaq), also called the Battle of the
Confederates (Ahzab), A.H. 4-5, we can imagine the comfort it gave to the Muslims who were besieged in Madinah by
a force ten times their number. The Muslims then fived in a state of great suspense and danger, and under arms for
days on end. (See xxxiii. 9-20). The security and authority they were promised came to them subsequently in
abundant measures. (24.55)
27:53 - And We saved those who believed and practiced righteousness.
28:67 - But any that (in this life) had repented believed and worked righteousness will have hopes
to be among those who achieve salvation.
28:80 - But those who had been granted (true) knowledge said: "Alas for you! the reward of Allah
(in the Hereafter) is best for those who believe and work righteousness: but this none shall
attain save those who steadfastly persevere (in good)."
29:7 - Those who believe and work righteous deeds from them shall We blot out all evil (that may
be) in them and We shall reward them according to the best of their deeds. 3429
3429 In striving to purify our Faith and our Life, we are enabled to avoid the consequences of our misdeeds for Allah will
forgive any evil in our past, and help to the attainment of a Future based on the best of what we have done rather than
on the poor average of our own merits. The atonement or expiation is by Allah's Mercy, not by our merits or the merits
or sacrifice of anyone else. (29.7)
29:9 - And those who believe and work righteous deeds them shall We admit to the company of the
Righteous. 3432
3432 The picking up again of the words which began verse 7 above shows that the same subject is now pursued from
another aspect. The striving in righteous deeds will restore fallen man to the society of the Righteous. (29.9)
29:27 - And We gave (Abraham) Isaac and Jacob and ordained among his progeny Prophethood
and Revelation and We granted him his reward in this life; and he was in the Hereafter (of the
company) of the Righteous. 34473448
3447 Isaac was Abraham's son and Jacob his grandson, and among his progeny was included Isma'il the eldest son of
Abraham. Each of these became a fountain-head of Prophecy and Revelation, Isaac and Jacob through Moses, and
Isma'il through the holy Prophet Muhammad. Jacob got the name of "Israel" at Bethel: Gen. 32:28; 35:10, and his
progeny got the title of "The Children of Israel". (29.27)
