bestowed on them, secretly and openly, may look forward to an imperishable gain; that He will re-ward them and increase them of His bounties. Sure-ly, He is Forgiving, and a Generous Patron, (al-Faatir: 29-30)Note: Qatadah Rahmatullah alaihe says that' .'imperishable gain'implies Jannah, which will never be destroyed nor become valueless and increase of His bounties* refers to what is contained in another Ayat of the Holy Qur'an. (Durree Manthur)The Ayat quoted by Qatadah Rahmatullah alaihe occurs in Surah 'Qaaf ; it reads: There (in Jannah) tfiey shall have all they desire and there is 'more* with Us". (Which We shall grantthem). (Qaaf: 35) The Ahadith explaining ( cfc# ) "More" mention marvellous things which demand a detailed discussion. Of these the best is that 'More' signifies an assurance by Allah, to be given to the inhabitants of Jannah, that Allah is pleased with them, and His granting them the bliss of having a vision of Himself, which will be repeatedly granted to the most fortunate ones. What a great reward in return for a few simple acts involving little labour, namely, spending generously in the path of Allah, establishing Salaat and being constant in recitat-ion of the Qur'an, which is an enjoyable experience even in this life! A few examples of the blessings of constant recitation from the Glorious Qur'an have been mentioned in the 'Faza'il-e-Qur'an 1 , which should be carefully studied. 22. And those who answer the call of their Lord, and establish Salaat, and whose affairs are a matter of counsel among themselves, and who spend of what We have bestowed upon them, (such people shall enjoy bounties of Allah which shall be far superior and more lasting than worldly things) (ash-Shuraa:38).
