Allah then mentions the condition of the content righteous believers and the perfect
honor they will earn in the end. Allah said,
﴿وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ
الصَّـلِحَاتِ﴾
(And those who believe and do righteous good deeds,) meaning, their hearts were
truthful and their limbs obedient with the righteous acts they were commanded, all
the while abandoning the evil they were prohibited from doing.
﴿سَنُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنَّـتٍ تَجْرِى
مِن تَحْتِهَا الاٌّنْهَـرُ﴾
(We shall admit them to Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise)) meaning, they
will think of where they want these rivers to flow and they will flow there,
﴿خَـلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَداً﴾
(to dwell therein forever), without end or being removed from it.
﴿وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقًّا﴾
(Allah's promise is the truth), meaning, this is a true promise from Allah, and
verily, Allah's promise shall come to pass. Allah then said,
﴿وَمَنْ أَصْدَقُ مِنَ اللَّهِ قِيلاً﴾
(and whose words can be truer than those of Allah) meaning, none is more truthful
in statement and narration than Allah. There is no deity worthy of worship, or Lord
except Him. The Messenger of Allah used to proclaim in his speech,
«إِنَّ أَصْدَقَ الْحَدِيثِ كَلَامُ
اللهِ، وَخَيْرَ الْهَدْيِ هَدْيُ مُحَمَّدٍصلى الله عليه وسلّم، وَشَرَّ الْأُمُورِ
مُحْدَثَاتُهَا، وَكُلَّ مُحْدَثَةٍ بِدْعَةٌ، وَكُلَّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلَالَةٌ، وَكُلَّ
ضَلَالَةٍ فِي النَّار»
(The most truthful speech is Allah's Speech, and the best guidance is the guidance
of Muhammad. The worst matters are the newly invented (in religion), every newly
invented matter is an innovation, and every innovation is a heresy, and every heresy
is in the Fire.)
﴿لَّيْسَ بِأَمَـنِيِّكُمْ
وَلا أَمَانِىِّ أَهْلِ الْكِتَـبِ مَن يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ وَلاَ يَجِدْ لَهُ
مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَلِيّاً وَلاَ نَصِيراً - وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِنَ الصَّـلِحَـتَ مِن
ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَى وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُوْلَـئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلاَ يُظْلَمُونَ
نَقِيراً - وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ دِيناً مِمَّنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُ لله وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ
واتَّبَعَ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَهِيمَ حَنِيفاً وَاتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ إِبْرَهِيمَ خَلِيلاً -
وَللَّهِ مَا فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَمَا فِى الاٌّرْضِ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ
مُّحِيطاً ﴾
(123. It will not be in accordance with your desires, nor those of the People of
the Scripture, whosoever works evil, will have the recompense thereof, and he will
not find any protector or helper besides Allah.) (124. And whoever does righteous
good deeds, male or female, and is a believer, such will enter Paradise and not
the least injustice, even to the size of a Naqir, will be done to them.) (125. And
who can be better in religion than one who submits his face (himself) to Allah;
and he is a Muhsin (a doer of good). And follows the religion of Ibrahim the Hanif
(Monotheist). And Allah did take Ibrahim as a Khalil (an intimate friend)!) (126.
And to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And
Allah is Ever Encompassing all things.)
