EPISODE 2️⃣5️⃣ – REWARDS OF IBAD-UR-RAHMAN
أُولَٰئِكَ يُجْزَوْنَ الْغُرْفَةَ بِمَا صَبَرُوا وَيُلَقَّوْنَ فِيهَا تَحِيَّةً وَسَلَامًا▪خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ حَسُنَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَمُقَامًا
Those will be rewarded with the highest place because of their patience.Therein they shall be met with greetings and the word of peace and respect.
Abiding therein; excellent it is as an abode, and as a place to dwell.
[Surah Al-Furqan 25:75-76]
In this episode, we will look in detail of the awesome rewards that Allaah has promised them.
1️⃣ Reward of Jannah
After mentioning the beautiful attributes of the Ibad-ur Rahman and their good words and deeds, Allaah then says that believers who are described with these beautiful characteristics will be rewarded with Jannah. Jannah is described as “the highest place” in this ayah because of its elevation.
It is also important to note that Allaah says:
أُولَٰئِكَ يُجْزَوْنَ الْغُرْفَةَ بِمَا صَبَرُوا
Those will be rewarded with the highest place because of their patience…
[Surah Al-Furqan 25:75]
Know that each of these nine beautiful qualities of Ibad-ur Rahman require patience and consistency. It means that when we take these qualities, it must be for a lifetime. Our struggles to beautify our akhlaq, to follow the footsteps of Ibad-ur Rahman, to become a better slave of Allaah is a lifetime effort. And if we are able to make that as our lifestyle, then Allaah will reward us with lofty palaces in Jannah.
2⃣ Welcome and Honor From the Angels
The ayah continues:
وَيُلَقَّوْنَ فِيهَا تَحِيَّةً وَسَلَامًا
Therein they shall be met with greetings and the word of peace and respect.
[Surah Al-Furqan 25:75]
Because of their patience and consistency in portraying and carrying out these beautiful qualities, the Ibad-ur Rahman will be greeted in peace from the angels. This means that they will be greeted first with words of welcome and honor in Jannah. Peace will be theirs and they will be wished peace. The angels will be so pleased with them, that they would enter from all gates just to greet such people of patience. This is as Allaah says:
وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ يَدْخُلُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ كُلِّ بَابٍ ▪سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ بِمَا صَبَرْتُمْ ۚ فَنِعْمَ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ
…And angels shall enter unto them from every gate (saying): “Salamun ‘Alaikum (peace be upon you) for that you persevered in patience!
Excellent indeed is the final home!”
[Surah Ar-Rad 13: 23-24]
