Characteristics and reward of the pious

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ جَزَآؤُهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَجَنَّٰتٌ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا وَنِعْمَ أَجْرُ ٱلْعَٰمِلِينَ 136

136.  The reward of such will be forgiveness from their Lord and Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever. And a bountiful reward for workers.

136.  ‘Ulaaa-‘ika  jazaaa-‘uhum-magfiratum-mir-Rabbihim  wa  jannaatun- tajrii  min-tahtihal-‘anhaaru  khaali-diina  fiihaa. Wa  ni’-ma  ‘ajrul-‘aamiliin.

Commentary

      

Following characteristics of the pious people have been described in the preceding verses:

1.   Whether it is happiness or sadness, they spend their power and wealth by every means in the Way of Allah Almighty. They do not stop their hands even in the poverty.

2.   They control their anger, do not do unpleasant things overwhelming by anger, and do not use unbefitting sentences by their mouths. 

3.   They forgive the mistakes of defaulters. Forgiveness and mercy are their characteristics.  

4.   Obliging is included in their nature. Surely, Allah Almighty makes the pious people friends of Him.

5.   If they commit any bad thing unknowingly or err, then they bear Allah Almighty in their hearts, and pray before Him for absolution and forgiveness.

6.   Intentionally or unintentionally, if they commit any error or do something wrong at any time, they do not repeat it. As soon as they realize and know about it, admit it immediately.

The Spirit of fear from Allah Almighty, goodness and abstinence is produced due to these characteristics. These are such people who are called the abstemious. Allah Almighty has promised best rewards for such people.

It is being commanded, “The reward of such people will be forgiveness from their Lord, He covers their faults and omissions, overlooks from them and bestows them with His forgiveness and mercy”.

Gardens are for them in the Hereafter, underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. They will get there Paradise and its everlasting graciousness. How much great reward is for the righteous people? Would that! The human beings should make themselves able to deserve it at the time of going before Allah Almighty on the Day of Resurrection.
