📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Kahf – Verse 88

"As for him who believes and does righteous work, he will have a reward that is good [201], and we will speak to him with ease in our command."

✅ [201] Honour and Ease for the Righteous

In contrast to the wrongdoers, Dhul-Qarnayn promises ease and reward to the believers—those who embrace faith and engage in righteous deeds. These individuals will receive:

  • A beautiful reward from Allah, which includes both worldly benefits and eternal bliss.

  • Gentle treatment, fair command, and respectful communication from the authorities.

This shows that faith and good action lead not only to spiritual reward but also to kindness and privilege in governance. According to tafsir, this also implies that believers are given easier tasks and greater rewards—a principle that highlights Islamic justice and mercy in leadership.
