Tafseer Ibn Kathir

The Reward of the Righteous

Allah says;

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُدْخِلُ الَّذِينَ امَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الاَْنْهَارُ

Truly, Allah will admit those who believe and do righteous good deeds to Gardens underneath which rivers flow.

The mention of the misguided who are doomed is followed by mention of the righteous who are blessed.

They are those who believe firmly in their hearts and confirm their faith by their actions, doing all kinds of righteous deeds and avoiding evil actions. Because of this, they will inherit dwellings in the lofty ranks of the gardens of Paradise.

So Allah tells us that He sends those astray and guides these, and says;

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يُرِيدُ



Verily, Allah does what He wills
