Tafseer Ibn Kathir

Destination of Righteous Believers

After Allah mentioned the condition of the miserable ones, He then mentioned the condition of the happy ones, saying,

وَالَّذِينَ امَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّالِحَاتِ

But those who believed, and worked righteousness,

Their hearts have believed and they performed good deeds with their limbs and senses, as compared to those who disbelieved in the Ayat of Allah and were arrogant with them.

Allah also said that embracing faith and implementing it are easy, when He said,

وَالَّذِينَ امَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّالِحَاتِ لَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا إِلاَّ وُسْعَهَا أُوْلَـيِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ
