Tafheem ul Quran

Surah 10 Yunus, Ayat 26-27

لِلَّذِيۡنَ اَحۡسَنُوا الۡحُسۡنٰى وَزِيَادَةٌ ؕ وَلَا يَرۡهَقُ وُجُوۡهَهُمۡ قَتَرٌ وَّلَا ذِلَّـةٌ ​ ؕ اُولٰٓـئِكَ اَصۡحٰبُ الۡجَـنَّةِ​ ۚ هُمۡ فِيۡهَا خٰلِدُوۡنَ‏  ﴿10:26﴾ وَالَّذِيۡنَ كَسَبُوا السَّيِّاٰتِ جَزَآءُ سَيِّئَةٍ ۢ بِمِثۡلِهَا ۙ وَتَرۡهَقُهُمۡ ذِلَّـةٌ  ؕ مَا لَهُمۡ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنۡ عَاصِمٍ​​ ۚ كَاَنَّمَاۤ اُغۡشِيَتۡ وُجُوۡهُهُمۡ قِطَعًا مِّنَ الَّيۡلِ مُظۡلِمًا ​ؕ اُولٰٓـئِكَ اَصۡحٰبُ النَّارِ​ ؕ هُمۡ فِيۡهَا خٰلِدُوۡنَ‏ ﴿10:27﴾

(10:26) For those who do good there is good reward and more besides;33 neither gloom nor humiliation shall cover their faces. They are the people of the Garden and in it they shall abide. (10:27) Those who do evil deeds, the recompense of an evil deed is its like,34 and humiliation shall spread over them and there will be none to protect them from Allah. Darkness will cover their faces as though they were veiled with the dark blackness of night.35 These are the people of the Fire and in it they shall abide.


Notes

33. That is, Allah by His grace will give to those who did good deeds more than their due reward.

34. That is, in contrast to the additional rewards to the good people, those who earned evil deeds, shall be punished only in proportion to their crimes. See (E.N. 110 of An- Namal).

35. It shall be that kind of gloom that overspreads the faces of the criminals when they are caught, and they despair all hopes of escape.
