Surah Ash Shura Ayat 19

God is kind towards His worshipers. He provides for whomever He wills. He is the Powerful, the Honorable.

Surah Ash Shura Ayat 20

Whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter, We increase for him his harvest; and whoever desires the harvest of this world, We give him thereof, and he has no share of the Hereafter.

Surah Ash Shura Ayat 22

You will see the unjust terrified of what they have earned, and it will befall them. As for those who believe and do good deeds, they will be in the Meadows of the Gardens; they will have whatever they please in the presence of their Lord; that is the supreme blessing.

Surah Ash Shura Ayat 23

That is the good news God gives to His servants who believe and do good deeds. Say, “I ask of you no wage for it, except affection among the near of kin.” Whoever does a good deed, We will increase its goodness for him. God is Forgiving and Appreciative.
