29:58 - But those who believe and work deeds of righteousness to them shall We give a Home in
Heaven lofty mansions beneath which flow rivers--to dwell therein for aye; an excellent reward
for those who do (good)! 3491
3491 The goodly homes mentioned in xvi. 41 referred to this life, but it was stated there that the reward of the Hereafter
would be greater. Here the simile of the Home is referred to Heaven: it will be beautiful; it will be picturesque, with the
sight and sound of softly-murmuring streams; it will be lofty or sublime; and it will be eternal. (29.58)
30:44 - Those who reject Faith will suffer from that rejection: and those who work righteousness will
spread their couch (of repose) for themselves (in heaven):
30:45 - That He may reward those who believe and work righteous deeds out of His Bounty: for He
loves not those who reject Faith. 35613562
3561 Though the repose and bliss will have been won by the righteous by their own efforts, it must not be supposed that
their own merits were equal to the reward they will earn. What they will get will be due to the infinite Grace and Bounty
of Allah. (30.45)
3562 In form this clause is (here as elsewhere) negative, but it has a positive meaning: Allah loves those who have faith
and trust in Him, and will, out of His Grace and Bounty, reward them in abundant measure. (30.45)
33:31 - But any of you that is devout in the service of Allah and His Apostle and works
righteousness to her shall We grant her reward twice: and We have prepared for her a
generous Sustenance. 37103711
3710 Twice, i.e., once as a righteous woman, and again as a Mother of the Believers, serving the believing women and thus
showing her devotion to Allah and His Apostle. (33.31)
3711 Sustenance: all that is necessary to sustain her in happiness in her future life. (33.31)
34:4 - That He may reward those who believe and work deeds of righteousness: for such is
Forgiveness and a Sustenance Most Generous." 3791
3791 "Sustenance": Spiritual in things spiritual, and physical in things physical. It implies not only the satisfaction of desire,
but the provision of means for sustaining the ground won and for winning more ground in the march of progress.
(34.4)
34:37 - It is not your wealth nor your sons that will bring you nearer to Us in degree: but only those
who believe and work Righteousness these are the ones for whom there is a multiplied
Reward for their deeds while secure they (reside) in the dwellings on high! 384438453846
3844 The true test of progress in spiritual life is to be measured by other things than material wealth and influence. What we
have to ask ourselves is: are we the least bit nearer to Allah? (34.37)
3845 Cf. xxx. 39. All worldly good is but a shadow that will pass away. Its intrinsic and eternal value is small. But those who
work righteousness in Faith are on the true path of self-development. The reward they will get will be infinitely more
than their merits entitle them to. For they will partake of the boundless Bounties of Allah. (34.37)
3846 Their happiness will not only be great in quantity ("multiplied"), but it will be of a specially sublime quality ("dwellings
on high"), and it will endure without any chance of its loss or diminution ("secure they reside"). (34.37)
35:7 - For those who reject Allah is a terrible Penalty: but for those who believe and work righteous
deeds is Forgiveness and a magnificent Reward. 3879
3879 To reject Allah is to reject all the good which He has implanted in our nature. Are we going to be false to the true
Pattern according to which He created us, and suffer the consequences? Or are we going to be true to that Pattern
and achieve the high and noble Destiny intended for us? (35.7)
37:112 - And We gave him the good news of Isaac a prophet one of the Righteous. 4105
4105 Isaac was Abraham's second son, born of Sarah, when Abraham was 100 years of age. See n. 4101. He was also
blessed and became the ancestor of the Jewish people. See next note. (37.112)
38:49 - This is a message (of admonition): and verily for the Righteous is a beautiful place of (final)
Return) 4206
4206 Some of the preeminent examples of the Elect and the Good having been mentioned, we have now a reference to the
Righteous as a body (rank and file as well as leaders) and their future in the Hereafter as won by victory over Evil.
(38.49)
41:8 - For those who believe and work deeds of righteousness is a reward that will never fail. 4469
4469 But blessed are those who have Faith. They will have a Future and a Bliss that will never fail. (41.8)
