Transliteration:( Innal laaha yudkhilul lazeena aamanoo wa 'amilus saalihaati jannaatin tajree min tahtihal anhaar; innal laaha yaf'alu maa yureed )
"Indeed, Allah will cause those who believed and did good deeds to enter gardens beneath which rivers [33] flow. No doubt, Allah does what He will."
Faith is the key to entering Paradise, while good deeds determine one's rank and blessings within it.
This verse speaks of earned Paradise—granted through personal belief and righteous action.
However, gifted Paradise may also be granted by Allah to minor Muslim children or sinful believers due to His mercy or some accepted deeds.
14. Truly, Allah will admit those who believe and do righteous good deeds to Gardens underneath which rivers flow. Verily, Allah does what He wills.
The mention of the misguided who are doomed is followed by mention of the righteous who are blessed. They are those who believe firmly in their hearts and confirm their faith by their actions, doing all kinds of righteous deeds and avoiding evil actions. Because of this, they will inherit dwellings in the lofty ranks of the gardens of Paradise. So Allah tells us that He sends those astray and guides these, and says:
(Verily, Allah does what He wills.)
(22:14) (In contrast) Allah will assuredly cause those who believe and act righteously[20] to enter Gardens beneath which rivers flow. For, most certainly, Allah does whatever He pleases.[21]
20. “Those who believed and did righteous deeds” are quite different from the wavering Muslims, for they have a firm belief in Allah, His Prophet (peace be upon him) and the Hereafter. Therefore they follow the way of truth both in prosperity and in adversity.
21. That is, Allah’s powers are unlimited. He may bestow anything on anyone He wills in this world or in the Hereafter or in both, and bar anything from anyone. None has the power to interfere with what He wills and does.
