➋ { الَّتِيْ وُعِدَ الْمُتَّقُوْنَ :} By "muttaqi" is meant the person who at the very least avoids shirk (associating partners with Allah); after that, in terms of avoiding sins, there are countless levels of the muttaqin, and according to their ranks, Paradise is promised to all. However, a polytheist will never enter Paradise. Allah said: «{ اِنَّهٗ مَنْ يُّشْرِكْ بِاللّٰهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَ مَاْوٰىهُ النَّارُ وَ مَا لِلظّٰلِمِيْنَ مِنْ اَنْصَارٍ }» [ المائدۃ :۷۲ ] "Indeed, the reality is that whoever associates partners with Allah, then certainly Allah has made Paradise forbidden for him, and his abode is the Fire, and for the wrongdoers there are no helpers."

The Comparison of the Fate of a Believer in the Hereafter and That of a Disbeliever:
In this verse, the comparison presented between the fate of a believer and that of a disbeliever is very meaningful. That is, regarding the Day of the Hereafter and the recompense and punishment for deeds, one possibility is that it is indeed a reality and it will certainly occur, and the other possibility is that perhaps all of this is just a tale. And both of these matters are such that they cannot be observed or experienced. Now, the person who believes in the Hereafter and spends his life in this world with great caution and fear of Allah—if, for the sake of argument, there is no Day of the Hereafter, then nothing of his will be harmed. And if the Day of Resurrection is established, then he will be in a most favorable position. All the conditions of the Resurrection will be a source of happiness for him according to his expectations, because he had lived his life keeping in view the conditions of the Hereafter. Now, in contrast, the fate of the disbeliever is that, contrary to his expectations, the Resurrection is established. Then he will have to face such calamities and difficulties that he could never have imagined. Both of them spent their lives in this world in a similar manner. Both received comfort in this world and also experienced sorrow. Bad days came and good days as well. In this world, there is no guarantee that the one who does not believe in the Hereafter will necessarily remain comfortable and prosperous, nor is it necessary that the believer will spend his entire life in difficulties. But in the end, the fate of the one who believes in the Hereafter will certainly be better. This is such a rational argument for the benefit of believing in the Day of the Hereafter that no one can deny it.
