I will guide you to to the path of rectitude. 3524 يُقَوْمِ إِنَّمَا هُذِهِ الْحَيُوةُ الدُّنْيَا مَتَاعُ وَإِنَّ O my people, this life of. 40 الْآخِرَةَ هِيَ دَارُ الْقَرَارِ the world is but a temporary provision; and the Hereafter is certainly the permanent abode. مَنْ عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةً فَلَا يُجْزَى إِلَّا مِثْلَهَا Whoso does evil will be. 41 وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِنْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَى وَهُوَ but whoso does good, whether مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُولَكَ يَدْخُلُوْنَ الْجَنَّةَ يُرْزَقُونَ فِيهَا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابِ requited only with the like of it; male or female, and is a believer these will enter the Garden; they will be provided therein without measure. 3525 وَيُقَوْمِ مَالِي أَدْعُوكُمْ إِلَى النَّجوةِ And O my people, how. 42 وَتَدْعُونَنِي إِلَى النَّارِة strange it is that I call you to salvation, and you call me to Fire. 3526 "3:15, 198; 9:38; 16:118; 28:61. 10:28. 4:125. 3524. Commentary: The speech of the "believing man" shows that true believers are fully convinced of the righteousness of their cause. It is this rock-like faith which enables them to suffer all sorts of hardship and privations gladly. 3525. Commentary: The verse shows that whereas the requital of the evil deeds of disbelievers is proportionate to their deeds, the reward of the good deeds of believers is without limit or measure. This is the Islamic concept of Heaven and Hell, and what a beautiful concept it is! 3526.

Thus the stage of (attainment of one's object) is clearly much higher in man's spiritual development than that of. 2784
