Then, as for those who believed (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) and did righteous good deeds, their Lord will admit them to His Mercy. That will be the evident success.

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

(Ayah 30) ➊ {فَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ:} Here, the mention of glad tidings is stated first, because this adds even more joy to the glad tidings. Righteous deeds refer to those actions that are done purely for Allah Almighty, free from every kind of shirk, even ostentation, and are in accordance with the Sunnah. See also the last verse of Surah Al-Kahf.

{ فَيُدْخِلُهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ فِيْ رَحْمَتِهٖ:} Their Lord will admit them into His mercy. In the word {’’ رَبُّهُمْ ‘‘}, there is an expression of His relationship and love for them, and by "His mercy" here is meant Paradise. Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: [ قَالَ اللّٰهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالٰی لِلْجَنَّةِ أَنْتِ رَحْمَتِيْ أَرْحَمُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِيْ وَقَالَ لِلنَّارِ إِنَّمَا أَنْتِ عَذَابٌ أُعَذِّبُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِيْ ] [بخاري، التفسیر، باب قولہ : « و تقول ھل من مزید» : ۴۸۵۰ ] "Allah, Blessed and Exalted, said to Paradise: You are My mercy; I will show mercy through you to whomever I wish among My servants. And He said to the Fire: You are merely punishment; I will punish through you whomever I wish among My servants."

{ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْمُبِيْنُ:} As He said: « فَمَنْ زُحْزِحَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَ اُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فَازَ وَ مَا الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَاۤ اِلَّا مَتَاعُ الْغُرُوْرِ » [ آل عمران : ۱۸۵ ] "So whoever is kept away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, he indeed is successful. And the life of this world is nothing but the enjoyment of delusion."

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

30. 1 Here too, by mentioning righteous deeds along with faith, their importance has been clarified, and righteous deeds are those good actions that are performed according to the Sunnah, not every action that a person considers good on his own and performs with great care and enthusiasm.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

30. As for those who believed and did righteous deeds, Allah will admit them into His mercy [43]. That is the clear success.

The True Success is Entering into Allah’s Mercy:

Whoever Allah admits into His mercy, there are many aspects of his clear success. First, he will be saved from punishment; second, he will be safe from the terrors of the Day of Judgment; third, his reckoning will be very brief and easy; fourth, he will be admitted into Paradise. Then, further rewards will continue to be bestowed. In other words, entering into Allah’s mercy is such a great success that every other kind of success is automatically included within it.
