Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (And those who believed and whose offspring followed them in faith)
Then He, the Exalted, said: [Surat al-Tur: 21] Those who believed and whose offspring followed them in faith; the offspring whose faith is derivative are the young ones,So Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says: [Surat al-Tur: 21] meaning: We joined their offspring to them in their ranks.
As for the adults who have married, they are independent in their ranks in Paradise; they are not joined to their fathers, because they have offspring and are in their own station. As for the young offspring who follow their fathers, they are raised to the level of their fathers.

[Surat al-Tur: 21] This is a general rule for all workers: that each one is held responsible for his own deed, and nothing is deducted from him. As for the increase, it is a favor from Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) upon whomever He wills of His servants.

أَلْحَقْنَا بِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْAs for the adults who have married, they are independent in their ranks in Paradise; they are not joined to their fathers, because they have offspring and are in their own station. As for the young offspring who follow their fathers, they are raised to the level of their fathers. This raising does not necessitate a reduction in the reward and ranks of the fathers,And for this he said:
