And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally.
اور جو لوگ ایمان لائے اور نیک عمل کرتے رہے، ان کو خوشخبری سنا دو کہ ان کے لیے (نعمت کے) باغ ہیں، جن کے نیچے نہریں بہہ رہی ہیں۔ جب انہیں ان میں سے کسی قسم کا میوہ کھانے کو دیا جائے گا تو کہیں گے، یہ تو وہی ہے جو ہم کو پہلے دیا گیا تھا۔ اور ان کو ایک دوسرے کے ہم شکل میوے دیئے جائیں گے اور وہاں ان کے لیے پاک بیویاں ہوں گی اور وہ بہشتوں میں ہمیشہ رہیں گے

Commentary
Ma'arif-ul-Quran: In the concluding verse (15:22), it has been reaffirmed that salvation in the Hereafter is the lot of those who believe in Him and in all of His prophets as well. Therefore, the Holy Prophet ﷺ said:

And as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, He will give them in full their rewards and grant them extra from His bounty. But as for those who disdained and were arrogant, He will punish them with a painful punishment, and they will not find for themselves besides Allah any protector or helper.
تو جو لوگ ایمان لائے اور نیک کام کرتے رہے وہ ان کو ان کا پورا بدلا دے گا اور اپنے فضل سے کچھ زیادہ بھی عنایت کرے گا۔ اور جنہوں نے (بندوں ہونے سے) عاروانکار اور تکبر کیا ان کو تکلیف دینے والا عذاب دے گا۔ اور یہ لوگ خدا کے سوا اپنا حامی اور مددگار نہ پائیں گے
Commentary
Ma'arif-ul-Quran: From the affirmation of Allah's absolute purity and the refutation of assumed Godhood of Sayyidna 'Isa (علیہ السلام) earlier, the text now moves to further strengthen the argument by showing that Sayyidna 'Isa (علیہ السلام) would himself confess to being a servant of Allah and so will the angels (wh...

Tafsir Ibn Kathir (English): The Prophets and Angels Are Never too Proud to Worship Allah
Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Ibn `Abbas said that, `proud', means insolent. Qatadah said that,

Ma'arif-ul-Quran: Payment for Da'wah work
The Holy Qur'an reports almost all prophets saying that they do not ask for any payment against the duty of Da'wah they do. This shows that, in case payment is accepted (as pre-arranged or as implied by custom) against Da'wah and Tabligh, the call remains ineffective. Experie...

But to all Allah has promised the best [reward]. And Allah, with what you do, is Acquainted.
اور تم کو کیا ہوا ہے کہ خدا کے رستے میں خرچ نہیں کرتے حالانکہ آسمانوں اور زمین کی وراثت خدا ہی کی ہے۔ جس شخص نے تم میں سے فتح (مکہ) سے پہلے خرچ کیا اور لڑائی کی وہ (اور جس نے یہ کام پیچھے کئے وہ) برابر نہیں۔ ان کا درجہ ان لوگوں سے کہیں بڑھ کر ہے جنہوں نے بعد میں خرچ (اموال) اور (کفار سے) جہاد وقتال کیا۔ اور خدا نے سب سے (ثواب) نیک (کا) وعدہ تو کیا ہے۔ اور جو کام تم کرتے ہو خدا ان سے واقف ہے

Then We sent following their footsteps Our messengers and followed [them] with Jesus, the son of Mary, and gave him the Gospel. And We placed in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy and monasticism, which they innovated; We did not prescribe it for them except [that they did so] seeking the approval of Allah. But they did not observe it with due observance. So We gave the ones who believed among them their reward, but many of them are defiantly disobedient.
