After Allah mentions the extended time and respite that is allowed to those
who are in misguidance, increasing them in misguidance, He informs of the
increase in guidance of those who are rightly guided. Similarly He says,
[وَإِذَا مَآ
أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ فَمِنْهُمْ مَّن يَقُولُ أَيُّكُمْ زَادَتْهُ هَـذِهِ
إِيمَـناً]
(And whenever there comes down a Surah, some of them say: "Which of you has
had his faith increased by it'') [9:124] And the following Ayah also shows this.
Concerning Allah's statement,
[وَالْبَـقِيَاتُ
الصَّـلِحَاتُ]
(And the righteous good deeds that last) Its explanation has already preceded
in Surat Al-Kahf, along with a lengthy discussion concerning it and the related
Hadiths.
[خَيْرٌ عِندَ
رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا]
((they) are better with your Lord for reward.) meaning the recompense and
reward.
[وَخَيْرٌ
مَّرَدّاً]
(and better for resort.) meaning in the final outcome, the result for its
doer.
[أَفَرَأَيْتَ
الَّذِى كَفَرَ بِـَايَـتِنَا وَقَالَ لأوتَيَنَّ مَالاً وَوَلَداً - أَطَّلَعَ
الْغَيْبَ أَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِندَ الرَّحْمَـنِ عَهْداً - كَلاَّ سَنَكْتُبُ مَا
يَقُولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ مَدّاً - وَنَرِثُهُ مَا يَقُولُ
وَيَأْتِينَا فَرْداً ]
(77. Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our Ayat and said: "I shall
certainly be given wealth and children [if I live again].'') (78. Has he known
the Unseen or has he taken a covenant from the Most Gracious) (79. Nay, We shall
record what he says, and We shall increase his torment;) (80. And We shall
inherit from him all that he speaks of, and he shall come to Us alone.)
