Allah said,
[لاَ يَسْتَوِى
أَصْحَـبُ النَّارِ وَأَصْحَـبُ الْجَنَّةِ]
(Not equal are the dwellers of the Fire and the dwellers of the Paradise.)
meaning, these two categories of people are never the same with regards to the
judgement of Allah, the Exalted, on the Day of Resurrection. Allah said in other
Ayat,
[أَمْ حَسِبَ
الَّذِينَ اجْتَرَحُواْ السَّيِّئَـتِ أَن نَّجْعَلَهُمْ كَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ
وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَـتِ سَوَآءً مَّحْيَـهُمْ وَمَمَـتُهُمْ سَآءَ مَا
يَحْكُمُونَ ]
(Or do those who earn evil deeds think that We shall hold them equal with
those who believe and do righteous good deeds, in their present life and after
their death Worst is the judgement that they make.)(45:21),
[وَمَا يَسْتَوِى
الاٌّعْـمَى وَالْبَصِيرُ وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَـتِ وَلاَ
الْمُسِىءُ قَلِيـلاً مَّا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ ]
(And not equal are the blind and those who see; nor are those who believe and
do righteous good deeds and those who do evil. Little do you remember!)(40:58),
and,
[أَمْ نَجْعَلُ
الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَـتِ كَالْمُفْسِدِينَ فِى الاٌّرْضِ
أَمْ نَجْعَلُ الْمُتَّقِينَ كَالْفُجَّارِ ]
(Shall We treat those who believe and do righteous good deeds as corrupters
on earth Or shall We treat those who have Taqwa as the wicked)(38:28) Therefore,
Allah asserts that He will honor the righteous and humiliate the sinners, and
this is why He said here,
[أَصْحَـبُ
الْجَنَّةِ هُمُ الْفَآئِزُونَ]
(It is the dwellers of Paradise that will be successful.) that is, they are
those who will earn safety and deliverance from the torment of Allah the Exalted
and Most Honored.
[لَوْ أَنزَلْنَا
هَـذَا الْقُرْءَانَ عَلَى جَبَلٍ لَّرَأَيْتَهُ خَـشِعاً مُّتَصَدِّعاً مِّنْ
خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ وَتِلْكَ الاٌّمْثَـلُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ
يَتَفَكَّرُونَ - هُوَ اللَّهُ الَّذِى لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ
وَالشَّهَـدَةِ هُوَ الرَّحْمَـنُ الرَّحِيمُ - هُوَ اللَّهُ الَّذِى لاَ إِلَـهَ
إِلاَّ هُوَ الْمَلِكُ الْقُدُّوسُ السَّلَـمُ الْمُؤْمِنُ الْمُهَيْمِنُ
الْعَزِيزُ الْجَبَّارُ الْمُتَكَبِّرُ سُبْحَـنَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ -
هُوَ اللَّهُ الْخَـلِقُ الْبَارِىءُ الْمُصَوِّرُ لَهُ الاٌّسْمَآءُ الْحُسْنَى
يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ مَا فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

(21. Had We sent down this Qur'an on a mountain, you would surely have seen
it humbling itself and rent asunder by the fear of Allah. Such are the parables
which We put forward to mankind that they may reflect.) (22. He is Allah, beside
Whom La ilaha illa Huwa, the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen. He is the
Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.) (23. He is Allah, beside Whom La ilaha illa
Huwa, Al-Malik, Al-Quddus, As-Salam, Al-Mu`min, Al-Muhaymin, Al-`Aziz,
Al-Jabbar, Al-Mutakabbir. Glory be to Allah! Above all that they associate as
partners with Him.) (24. He is Allah, Al-Khaliq, Al-Bari, Al-Musawwir. To Him
belong the Best Names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify Him. And
He is the Almighty, the All-Wise.)
