Q 5: Would you please address us about the reward Allah promises those who are patience and do righteous deeds in this world and in the Hereafter? What should one do to deter his love of the worldly life and its pleasures?
A: Indeed, Allah has created mankind to worship him Alone with no partners by obeying His Commands, forsaking His Prohibitions, and making frequent Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah).
And I (Allâh) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone).
Worshipping Allah means Tawhid (belief in the Oneness of Allah/monotheism) through Du`a' (supplication), fear, hope, Salah (prayer), Sawm (fast), etc. beside carrying out His Commands and avoiding His Prohibitions. To those who do this Allah promises wellbeing and good end in the worldly life and Jannah (Paradise) and honor in the Hereafter.
So be patient. Surely, the (good) end is for AlMuttaqûn (the pious)
but give glad tidings to AsSâbirûn (the patient). Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "Truly! To Allâh we belong and truly, to Him we shall return." They are those on whom are the Salawât (i.e. who are blessed and will be forgiven) from their Lord, and (they are those who) receive His Mercy, and it is they who are the guided ones.
Nobody can be given a blessing better and greater than patience.
The patient will attain the good end in this world and the Hereafter or will attain the good end in the Hereafter, if they keep patiently to Taqwa (fearing Allah as He should be feared), obey Allah, and endure afflictions i.e. poverty, misery or disease. Patience has a good outcome.
But if you remain patient and become AlMuttaqûn [the pious See V.2:2], not the least harm will their cunning do to you. Surely, Allâh surrounds all that they do.
Patience has good consequences, if one exercises it while obeying Allah during worldly misfortunes; he who remains steadfast to the Command of Allah will get the blessing in the Hereafter. The patient person has a clear conscience; he strives
