Feasts of Paradise

 

Good news for those who believe and do good works (L–45) 

25a.  ۖ وَبَشِّرِ الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ أَنَّ لَهُم جَنّاتٍ تَجري مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهارُ

25a.  Wa  bashshi-rillaziina ‘aa-manuu  wa  ‘amilus-Saali-haati  ‘anna lahum jannaatin- tajrii  min-tahtihal-‘anhaar.

25a.  And give good news to those who believe and do righteous deeds; that they will have gardens beneath which rivers flow.

‘Aa-manuu – (They believe). The people who do not have any doubt in the Divinity of God, Prophet-hood of the Messenger ‘Muhammad’ (ﷺ) and the Truth of Holy Qur’an.

Wa ‘amilus-Saali-haati – (and they do good works). It aims such works which are according to the guidance of Holy Qur’an and Sayings of the Messenger (ﷺ), pure from badness and crookedness.

To prove the Truth of Holy Qur’an, the Infidels and unbelievers were challenged according to the previous verses that if they were in doubt concerning that which God has revealed to His slave (Muhammad), then they should produce a Surah of the like thereof , and call their witnesses beside God if they were truthful. But with effect from that period, no human being of the world could produce the answer to this challenge till today. And as God has described along with it that they can never do it. Therefore they were warned also about the punishment of this denial and accusing of false-hood. That is to say; they will be thrown in such Fire of the Hell, fuel of which is men and stones.

In this verse; good tidings have been given to those who believe, against the disbelievers, and do good works; that they will enter such Gardens (Paradise) where all facilities of comfort and pleasure will be present for them. The rivers of cool and flavored water will be flowing into them.

Now it is clear that for being rightful inhabitant of the Heaven and for entering into it, two excellences are compulsory for the human being:

• There must be no doubt in one’s heart regarding God and His last Messenger  (ﷺ). (He should - perceive that his Worshipped; Lord and Master is God, promise that the Messenger of God (ﷺ)  is true, believe that Holy Qur’an is the Word of God and have faith in the Day of Resurrection i.e. Belief in the next life after death).

• His all deeds must be according to the commandments of Holy Qur'an and Sayings of Holy Prophet (ﷺ). He should never leave any such work which has been ordered and instructed as mentioned above. He must never commit any forbidden work. 

We learnt from the Summary of this verse that the Paradise cannot be attained only by good works, till Belief and Faith do not have place in the heart along with it, which is called “Obedience”. Just like this, good works are necessary also with the Belief.
