And indeed, for you is a reward [4] that will never end.

[4] That is, if these people call you mad, do not be saddened or distressed by it. Allah will grant you such a reward in return that is infinite, unlimited, and unending, and its continuity will never be interrupted. This reward may refer to such a reward in the life of this world as was in fact granted to you, and the reward of the Hereafter is, in any case, certain. Consider: could the future of any mad or insane person be so magnificent? Then, one whose rank is so great in the sight of Allah should not care about being called mad by a few fools.
