Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this person is asking about the meaning of the verse and its exegesis. I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan.[An-Nahl 16:97]
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. This is a promise from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, to everyone who believes and does good deeds. That Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will grant him a good life and reward him with the best of what he was doing. And Allah, Mighty and Majestic, does not break His promise. So if the servant fulfills the requirement mentioned in the verse,
Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, will fulfill for him what He promised. He believed and did good. He believed in Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, as Lord, as God, as Creator, and as the One to be worshipped, and he did good. And a deed is not good except with two conditions.
The first condition is that it be sincere for the face of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, with no showing off, no seeking of reputation, and no shirk (associating partners with Allah).
And the second condition is that it be correct according to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), with no innovation or invention. If these conditions are met, then Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is near and responsive; He multiplies good deeds, forgives evil deeds, and raises the ranks of His believing servants. And His honor is limitless, Glorified and Exalted is He, and His blessings are countless blessings.

Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - We will surely cause him to live a good life, and We will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do.
مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُ حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْرَهُم بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَAnswer:
