سُوْرَةُ يُوْنُسَ
Surah Yunus (10) — Ayah 26
۞ لِّلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا۟ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ وَزِيَادَةٌ ۖ وَلَا يَرْهَقُ وُجُوهَهُمْ قَتَرٌ وَلَا ذِلَّةٌ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ ﴿26﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
For those who have done good is the best (reward, i.e. Paradise) and even more (i.e. having the honour of glancing at the Countenance of Allâh جل جلاله). Neither darkness nor dust nor any humiliating disgrace shall cover their faces. They are the dwellers of Paradise, they will abide therein forever.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
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.
26. For those who do good, there is a good reward and even more [38]. Neither darkness [39] nor humiliation will cover their faces. They are the inhabitants of Paradise; they will abide therein forever.

The Delight of Seeing Allah:
Sayyiduna Suhaib ؓ says that the Prophet ﷺ said: When the people of Paradise will enter Paradise, a caller will announce that Allah has made another promise to you which He is about to fulfill. The people of Paradise will say: Has He not brightened our faces, saved us from Hell, and admitted us into Paradise? (So what is left now?) The Prophet ﷺ said: "Then Allah, the Exalted, will remove the veil. By Allah! Whatever the people of Paradise have been given, nothing will be more beloved to them than looking towards Allah (the vision of Allah)." [ترمذي، كتاب التفسير] And its other meaning is that the righteous will not only receive a good reward for their deeds, but by Allah's grace and mercy, they will receive much more than that. It could be tenfold, seven hundredfold, or even more, whereas the evildoers will be given only as much punishment as the evil they committed.
[39] That is, on that long Day of Resurrection, whose duration according to this world is equal to fifty thousand years, at no time will there be such darkness and humiliation on the faces of those who did good deeds as will be on the faces of the disbelievers and wicked. Rather, their faces will be fresh, radiant, and luminous.
