Question : There is still something left from the questions. He says: What is the interpretation of the verse? And we have presented in the statement of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Furqan 25:23]
Answer : That is, the disbelievers do good deeds; they give charity, honor the guest, help the needy, and perform good actions. If a Muslim did these, he would receive reward for them, but when a disbeliever does them, Allah the Exalted makes them scattered dust, useless to him. The most the disbeliever benefits from his good traits is that he is rewarded for them in this world, but in the Hereafter, he has no share in it.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good. Thank you to the sister questioner. We will now take a call on the line.
And We will regard what they have done of deeds and make them as dust dispersed.
