رَبُّهُم بِرَحْمَةٍ

وَجَنَّاتٍ
لَّهُمْ فِيهَا
نَعِيمٌ مُّقِيمٌ ﴿٢١﴾

...إِنَّ اللّهَ عِندَهُ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ ﴿٢٢﴾
Verily in Allah's presence is a reward, the greatest (of all).
C1271. Those who strive and suffer in Allah's cause are promised;
- a mercy specially from Himself,
- His own good pleasure,
- gardens of perpetual delight,
- the supreme reward.
Allah's own nearness. These are in gradation:
- is a special mercy, higher than flows out to all creatures:
- is a consciousness of Allah's good pleasure, which raises the soul above itself:
- is that state of permanent assurance, and
- is the final bliss, which is the sight of Allah Himself. (R).
