Transliteration:( Innal lazeena aamanoo wa 'amilus saalihaati lahum Janaatun Na'eem )
"Indeed, those who believe and do good deeds, for them there are gardens [11] of bliss."
This verse clearly states that Paradise is the reward for those who combine faith with righteous deeds. The term “gardens of bliss” emphasizes the eternal joy and peace that await the believers.
According to divine law, entry into Paradise is earned through piety—meaning that those who believe and act righteously deserve it by right. However, in other verses, Allah also describes how, through His mercy and bounty, even sinners may be admitted into Paradise—through the intercession and blessings of the pious.
This verse refers specifically to the principle of justice (law), not bounty. Therefore, it is not in contradiction to other verses that speak of divine generosity. Instead, both principles—justice and mercy—work together in the divine plan, offering hope to the righteous and a path to redemption for the sinful through Allah’s infinite grace.
8. Verily, those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them are Gardens of Delight. 9. To abide therein. It is a promise of Allah in truth. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
Here Allah mentions the destiny of the righteous in the Hereafter, those who believe in Allah and His Messenger and do righteous deeds in accordance with the Laws of Allah.
(for them are Gardens of Delight.) means, there they will enjoy all kinds of delights and pleasures, food, drink, clothing, dwelling-places, means of transportation, women, a light of beauty and delightful sounds, which have never crossed the mind of any human being. They will stay there forever, never leaving and never desiring change.
(It is a promise of Allah in truth.) meaning, this will undoubtedly come to pass, for it is a promise from Allah, and Allah never breaks His promise, because He is the Most Generous Bestower Who does what He wills and is able to do all things.
(And He is the All-Mighty,) Who has subjugated all things and to Whom all things submit,
(the All-Wise.) in what He says and what He does, Who has made this Qur’an a guidance to the believers.
(Say: “It is for those who believe, a guide and a healing. And as for those who disbelieve, there is heaviness (deafness) in their ears, and it is blindness for them) (41:44).
(And We send down of the Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe, and it increases the wrongdoers nothing but loss.) (17:82)
(31:8) Surely those who believe and do good deeds shall have Gardens of Bliss. [10]
10. Instead of saying “There are blessings of Paradise (Gardens) for them,” it has been said, there “are blissful Gardens for them.” In the first case, it would have meant this: “They will enjoy the blessings but the Gardens will not belong to them.” In the second case, “it automatically becomes evident that the whole Gardens will be handed over to them, and they will take advantage of their blessings as an owner does of his own possession, and not like the one who is allowed to use something without giving him ownership rights over it.”
