But God gives more guidance to those who are guided, and good deeds of lasting merit are best and most rewarding in your Lord’s sight.

Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

Increasing Guidance of Those Who are guided

After Allah mentions the extended time and respite that is allowed to those who are in misguidance, increasing them in misguidance, He informs of the increase in guidance of those who are rightly guided. Similarly He says,

وَإِذَا مَآ أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ فَمِن

Chapter 19, Page 310, Juz 16

66. Man says, ‘What? Once I am dead, will I be brought back to life?’ 67. but does man not remember that We created him when he was nothing before? 68. By your Lord [Prophet] We shall gather them and the devils together and set them on their knees around Hell; 69. We shall seize out of each group those who were most disobedient towards the Lord of Mercy- 70. We know best who most deserves to burn in Hell- 71. but every single one of you will approach it, a decree from your Lord which must be fulfilled. 72. We shall save the devout and leave the evildoers there on their knees. 73. When Our revelations are recited to them in all their clarity, [all that] the disbelievers say to the believers [is], ‘Which side is better situated? Which side has the better following?’ 74. We have destroyed many a generation before them who surpassed them in riches and outward glitter! 75. Say [Prophet], ‘The Lord of Mercy lengthens [the lives] of the misguided, until, when they are confronted with what they have been warned about- either the punishment [in this life] or the Hour [of Judgement]- they realize who is worse situated and who has the weakest forces.’ 76. But God gives more guidance to those who are guided, and good deeds of lasting merit are best and most rewarding in your Lord’s sight. 77. Have you considered the man who rejects Our revelation, who says, ‘I will certainly be given wealth and children’? 78. Has he penetrated the unknown or received a pledge to that effect from the Lord of Mercy? 79. No! We shall certainly record what he says and prolong his punishment: 80. We shall inherit from him all that he speaks of and he will come to Us all alone. 81. They have taken other gods beside God to give them strength, 82. but these gods will reject their worship and will even turn against them.
