Surah Fatir 35:7

The Punishment of the Disbeliever and the Reward of the Believer on the Day of Resurrection

Having stated that the ultimate destiny of the followers of Iblis will be the blazing Fire, Allah then tells us that for those who disbelieve there will be a severe punishment. This is because they obeyed the Shaytan and disobeyed Ar-Rahman. And He tells us that those who believed in Allah and His Messengers

(and do righteous good deeds, theirs will be forgiveness) meaning, from whatever sins they did,

and a great reward. for the good deeds that they did. Then Allah says:

(Is he, then, to whom the evil of his deeds is made fairseeming, so that he considers it as good) meaning, `such as disbelievers or immoral persons who do evil deeds and believe that they are doing something good, i.e., a person who is like that has been misguided by Allah, so what can you do for him You cannot help him at all.'

(Verily, Allah sends astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills.) means according to His decree.

(So destroy not yourself in sorrow for them. ) means, do not grieve about that, for Allah is Wise in His decree and He leaves astray whomsoever He leaves astray, and He guides whomsoever He guides, and in doing so He has perfect knowledge and wisdom. Allah says:

(Truly, Allah is the All-Knower of what they do!)

Dalam ayat ini diterangkan bahwa orang-orang yang ingkar kepada Allah dan rasul-Nya akan mendapat azab yang keras dan pedih di dalam neraka. Azab itu sebagai balasan atas keingkaran mereka pada bujukan setan, lalu mengikuti langkah-langkahnya. Adapun orang-orang yang membenarkan perintah-perintah yang dibawa oleh rasul-Nya dan mengerjakan amal saleh akan memperoleh ampunan dan pahala yang besar. Dosa-dosa mereka diampuni oleh Allah, pahala mereka dilipatgandakan dan telah disiapkan surga sebagai balasan atas iman yang mantap di dalam hati mereka dan amal saleh yang ikhlas karena Allah semata. Firman Allah:

Dan sampaikanlah kabar gembira kepada orang-orang yang beriman dan berbuat kebajikan, bahwa untuk mereka (disediakan) surga-surga yang mengalir di bawahnya sungai-sungai. (al-Baqarah/2: 25)
