Question:
This person is asking about the noble verse: “They hope for a trade that will not fail”
Answer:
Yes, they hope for a trade with Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) through righteous deeds: reciting the Qur’an[Fatir 35:29]. They recite the Book of Allah, but it is not sufficient for them to merely recite the Book of Allah; rather, they must act upon it. They must establish the prayer, pay the zakah, and spend in the cause of Allah, both the obligatory and the recommended spending, alongside their recitation of the Qur’an. They recite and act upon the Noble Qur’an. This is the trade with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and the profit in it is not measured by a specific amount; rather, it is attributed to the grace of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). It is the trade that will not fail, will not be ruined, and will not be lost; it is preserved with Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). It is not like the trade of this world, which is exposed to ruin, loss, and failure. Yes.

Indeed, those who recite the Book of Allah and establish prayer and spend [in His cause] out of what We have provided them, secretly and publicly, [can] expect a profit that will never perish -
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَنفَقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ سِرًّا وَعَلَانِيَةً يَرْجُونَ تِجَارَةً لَّن تَبُورَ
