Transliteration:( Wallazeena aamanoo wa 'amilus saalihaati sanud khiluhum Jannaatin tajree min tahtihal anhaaru khaalideena feehaaa abadaa; wa'dal laahi haqqaa; wa man asdaqu minal laahi qeelaa )
367 From this verse emerge a few issues:
1. Belief enjoys precedence over deeds because without sound belief deeds will not be accepted:
2. Good deeds are a pre-requisite for salvation no matter how pious a believer might be, he cannot be content without good deeds:
3. Good deeds are neither the core of faith nor part of faith because in the case of the first two words joined by the conjunction the second word would be regarded different to the first.
4.That the Day of Judgement is near, though it seems distant to us.
368. Hence, it is a certainty for the doer of good deeds to be rewarded with Paradise. Now, if anyone doubts about Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (May Allah be pleased with him) or other Companions of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم for whom the QUR'AAN has promised Paradise as otherwise is an infidel. because he regards Allah Almighty as untrue (Allah forbid).
