سُوْرَةُ الْبَيِّنَةِ
Surah Al-Bayyina (98) — Ayah 8
جَزَآؤُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّـٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًا ۖ رَّضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا۟ عَنْهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِىَ رَبَّهُۥ ﴿8﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Their reward with their Lord is ‘Adn (Eden) Paradise (Gardens of Eternity), underneath which rivers flow. They will abide therein forever, Allâh will be pleased with them, and they with Him. That is for him who fears his Lord.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
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.
8. 1. Because of their faith, obedience, and righteous deeds. Allah’s pleasure is the greatest thing (ورضوان من اللہ اکبر).
8. 2. Because Allah has blessed them with such bounties in which both their soul and body find happiness.
8. 3. That is, this reward and pleasure are for those who, in the world, feared Allah and, due to that fear, refrained from acts of disobedience to Allah. If they ever did disobey, they repented and reformed themselves for the future, so much so that their death came upon obedience, not upon sin. This means that one who fears Allah cannot persist and continue in sin, and whoever does so, in reality, his heart is empty of the fear of Allah.
