9. Allah has promised those who believe and do righteous deeds that for them there is forgiveness [31.1] and a great reward.
In [31۔ 1], Allah Almighty has mentioned two types of deeds in this verse: one is faith, and the other is righteous deeds. Likewise, two types of promises have been made: one of forgiveness and the other of a great reward. Apparently, this indicates that those who believed in Allah and never associated anyone with Him will also be forgiven. As for the great reward, it will be given only to those who, along with faith, also continued to perform righteous deeds.
