Exegesis of His saying, the Exalted: (Indeed, those who believed and did righteous deeds)
Then Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Buruj: 11] .
After mentioning the punishment of the criminals, He mentioned the reward of the believers. This is the method of the Qur'an in presenting encouragement and warning. The Noble Qur'an consists of paired verses, in which opposing meanings are mentioned: the punishment of the people of the Fire and the bliss of the people of Paradise, the characteristics of the believers and the characteristics of the disbelievers, and the like. This is so that a person may proceed toward Allah the Exalted between fear and hope, recognizing Allah's favor upon him through Islam, and recognizing the wisdom of Allah the Exalted in the existence of these disbelieving criminals, thereby increasing his caution against such matters.
We will limit ourselves to this extent and postpone the discussion of this verse and what follows it, if Allah wills, until next week, in order to obtain answers to many questions.
And we ask Allah for success.
Then Allah the Exalted said:
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْكَبِيرُAfter mentioning the punishment of the criminals, He mentioned the reward of the believers.
