Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward”

is a past tense verb, and the Divine Name is the subject. The sentence consisting of the verb and the subject is the predicate of . What is the subject of ? It is “the Muslims” and what is conjoined to it. And his saying: means “for these.” The letter mīm is the marker of masculine plural. In it is a clear indication of the preference of men over women. Allah the Mighty and Majestic did not say, “Allah has prepared for them and for them [feminine],” nor did He say, “Allah has prepared for them [feminine],” but rather He said: . And his saying: means “He prepared for them.” And his saying : “Maghfirah” (forgiveness) is derived from “ghufr,” which is covering with protection, because its origin is from the “mighfar” (helmet) placed on the head to ward off arrows. The “mighfar” placed on the head to ward off arrows provides covering, and what comes after that? Protection, like that. So, we say that “maghfirah” is the covering of sins and passing over them. It is not merely the covering of sins, but it is covering with passing over: covering from the creation and passing over the punishment. For this reason, it came in the authentic hadith: . And his saying: . So, by preparing forgiveness, they are saved from sins, their burdens, and their consequences. And means a reward that is great in itself. This great reward is entering Paradise, and it is a reward that humans cannot fully comprehend, because Allah the Exalted says in the Holy Hadith: . And in the Qur'an, Allah the Exalted says: [Surat al-Sajdah: 17]. And He the Exalted says: [Surat Qaf: 35]. This great reward, whose measure only Allah the Mighty and Majestic can determine, is for those who possess these attributes. If Allah the Exalted has clarified these attributes, or clarified those who possess these attributes, and clarified what He has prepared for them of reward and recompense, is the intent merely to inform people of this, or is the intent something beyond that? The intent is something beyond that, which is that people should act upon these great attributes so that they may attain that great reward and forgiveness. And his saying: . The word is indefinite. Do we say that it is indefinite for the sake of magnification, as evidenced by the conjunction with , or what? It appears that it is indefinite for the sake of magnification, meaning a great forgiveness, just as they have a great reward. The author says: “Forgiveness for sins and a great reward for acts of obedience”. Good, this is because the author (may Allah have mercy on him) placed forgiveness in contrast to sins and the reward in contrast to acts of obedience.
