Tafseer Ibn Kathir

The Good Reward is for the People of Faith and Good Deeds

Allah says

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ امَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّالِحَاتِ يَهْدِيهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ بِإِيمَانِهِمْ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهِمُ الَانْهَارُ فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ




Verily, those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, their Lord will guide them through their faith; under them will flow rivers in the Gardens of delight (Paradise).

In these two Ayat, Allah promises the happy blessings for those who believed in Allah and His Messengers. And for those that have complied with what they were commanded to follow.

The promise is that He will guide them because of their faith, or it may mean through their faith. As to the first interpretation, the meaning is that Allah will guide them on the Day of Resurrection to the straight path until they pass into Paradise because of their faith in this world.

The other meaning is that their faith will assist them on the Day of Resurrection as Mujahid said;
يَهْدِيهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ بِإِيمَانِهِمْ
(Their Lord will guide them through their faith),

meaning "Their faith will be a light in which they will walk."

Allah says
