Qualities of Those Who have Taqwa and Their Reward

Allah the Exalted informs about those who have Taqwa, that on the Day of their Return they will be amidst gardens and springs. To the contrary the miserable ones will be amidst torment, punishment, fire and chains. Allah said,

ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَـهُم

Chapter 51, Page 521, Juz 26

1. By the winds which scatter dust, 2. which carry clouds laden with water, 3. which then smoothly speed along, 4. and execute the great task of apportioning (rainfall): 5. surely what you are being warned against is true, 6. and the Judgement shall doubtlessly take place. 7. By the heaven with its numerous forms: 8. surely you are at variance (about the Hereafter); 9. though only those who are averse to the Truth will turn away from (believing in it). 10. Doomed are the conjecturers 11. who are steeped in ignorance and heedlessness. 12. They ask: “When will the Day of Judgement be?” 13. It will be the Day when they shall be scourged by the Fire 14. (and be told): “Taste your ordeal! This is what you were seeking to hasten.” 15. As for the God-fearing, they shall be in the midst of gardens and fountains, 16. joyously receiving what their Lord will have granted them. Verily they did good works before (the coming of this Day): 17. they used to sleep but little by night, 18. and would ask for forgiveness at dawn, 19. and in their wealth there was a rightful share for him who would ask and for the destitute. 20. There are many Signs on earth for those of sure faith, 21. and also in your own selves. Do you not see? 22. And in heaven is your provision and also what you are being promised. 23. So, by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, this is certainly true, as true as the fact of your speaking.
