    📖 Commentary of Surah Ghafir – Verse 40

    "Whoso does an evil deed, shall be awarded only with the like [108] of it: and whoso does righteous deeds, whether male or female and be a believer [109], shall enter (110) Paradise and they shall be provided therein without an account [111]."

    ✅ [108] Equal Recompense for Evil Deeds

    This means that every evil deed will be punished proportionately, without any unjust increase in its severity. The principle of divine justice is clear—no one will be wronged. This also supports the view that minor children of non-believers will not be held accountable, as they have not committed sins by choice and intention.

    ✅ [109] Faith as the Basis for Rewarded Deeds

    Two key principles emerge here:

    1. Faith (Iman) is essential for deeds to be accepted, just like wudhu is required before Salaah. A deed done without faith carries no weight in the sight of Allah.

    2. Once a person accepts Islam, he is not exempt from good deeds. Righteous actions remain obligatory, and faith alone is not enough for salvation—deeds confirm and reflect belief.

    ✅ [110] Entry to Paradise and Divine Bounty

    Paradise is granted through Allah’s mercy, not merely by human effort. However, faith is the key, and good deeds determine one's rank in Paradise. Even the children of believers may attain high ranks due to the faith and good actions of their parents.

    ✅ [111] Countless Provisions in Paradise

    The provisions in Paradise will be beyond calculation or limit. Either:

    • The abundance of food and drink will be endless, without restriction or restraint,

    • Or it implies immeasurable blessings, far surpassing what humans can estimate or imagine.

    In contrast to the scarcity and control in this world, Paradise offers eternal, unmeasured generosity, reflecting Allah’s mercy upon His believing servants.
