89. Whoever brings a good deed [98] on that Day will receive better than it, and such people will be safe from the terror [99] of that Day.
[98] Here, "goodness" refers to faith and righteous deeds. The general rule or law of Allah regarding the reward for good deeds is that for every good deed, He grants ten times more reward, and this is His grace and favor upon His righteous servants. [6: 16] Then, if any deed is performed with utmost sincerity and solely for the pleasure of Allah, and it is also preserved afterwards, Allah Almighty can grant its reward seven hundred times or even more. [2: 261]
[99] There will be two reasons why the believers will not be overcome by fear: first, whatever happens on that day will be in accordance with their expectations and their faith, and when a person is forewarned of an event, he may take precautions against it but does not become frightened by it. Second, they will be receiving the reward for their good deeds in excess of their expectations. In this respect, it will be an occasion for happiness, not for fear.
