76. 1. In this, another principle is mentioned: just as from the Qur'an, those in whose hearts is the disease of disbelief, polytheism, and misguidance, their wretchedness and misguidance only increase, in the same way, the hearts of the believers become even more firm in faith and guidance.

76. 2. In this, the poor Muslims are given consolation that the wealth and means over which the disbelievers and polytheists boast, all of that will perish, and the good deeds that you do, these are everlasting. Their reward and recompense you will receive from your Lord, and their best return and benefit will come back to you.
