Transliteration:( Hal jazaaa'ul ihsaani illal ihsaan )
"Is the reward [54] of goodness, but other than goodness?"
✅ [54] The first "goodness" refers to the Kalimah Tayyibah (pure declaration of faith) and righteous deeds, while the second "goodness" refers to Paradise and its bounties.
This means that those who do good in the world will be rewarded with good in the Hereafter.
Alternatively, it teaches that if anyone does good to you, you should reciprocate with goodness, so that you may receive excellent reward in the Hereafter.
This also includes good treatment of parents and relatives, as part of righteous conduct.
The tafsir of Surah Ar-Rahman verse 60 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Rahman ayat 54 which provides the complete commentary from verse 54 through 61.
(55:60) Can the reward of goodness be any other than goodness?[47]
47. That is, how, after all, is it possible that Allah should allow to go waste the sacrifices of those righteous servants and should deny them their rewards, who kept themselves subjected to restrictions throughout their lives for the sake of Allah, who avoided the unlawful and remained content with the lawful, who performed their duties faithfully and sincerely, rendered the rights of those to whom rights were due, and endured hardships against evil and upheld good?
