Yunos 26-27

26- FOR THOSE WHO DO GOOD AND RIGHTEOUS DEEDS, THEY WILL RECEIVE WHAT IS GOOD AND EVEN MORE, AND YOU WILL NEVER SEE ON THEIR FACES SIGNS OF TIREDNESS OR HUMILIATION, THEY ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE PARADISE WHERE THEY WILL ABIDE FOREVER. 

27- AS FOR THOSE WHO EARNED SINS, THE RECOMPENSE OF A SIN IS THE LIKE THEREOF, AND HUMILIATION WILL BE SHOWN ON THEIR FACES, NO ONE CAN PROTECT THEM FROM ALLAH, AS IF THEIR FACES ARE COVERED BY DARK PIECES OF THE NIGHT, THEY ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE FIRE WHERE THEY WILL ABIDE FOREVER.

Allah the Highest describes for us the state of two groups; those who do good and righteous deeds and those often sinning:

• The righteous who do good deeds are very generously rewarded, they will have “WHAT IS GOOD AND EVEN MORE”.  Allah’s reward is always much greater than the good deed, Allah the Highest said: “THE PARABLE OF THOSE WHO SPEND OF THEIR WEALTH IN THE CAUSE OF ALLAH IS THAT OF A GRAIN OF CORN, FROM WHICH GROW FORTH SEVEN EARS, IN EVERY EAR THERE ARE SEVEN GRAINS, AND ALLAH INCREASES THESE MANY MORE FOLDS FOR WHOM HE WILLS, FOR ALLAH IS ALL EMBRACING AND IS ALL KNOWING”.  (S: 2 A: 261).  While the good deed a person does in this life does not last long, Allah’s reward is eternal.  

They will be pleased and happy and it will show signs of happiness and pleasure on their faces.  “SOME FACES WILL THEN BE BLOOMING, LOOKING AT THEIR LORD * AND SOME FACES WILL THEN BE VERY DRAWN * THINKING THAT IT WILL BE MADE TO SUFFER A GREAT DEAL”.   (S: 75 A: 22-25)

We note that Allah the Highest said: “AS FOR THOSE WHO EARNED SINS”

For the sin has to be earned, meaning should have full intention, free will as well as the act itself.  While one may gain a good deed through an intention that was not fulfilled.  Allah the Highest recompenses the sin with the like thereof, without an increase as happens with the good deed.

We see in this life that righteous people’s faces are peaceful and relaxed.  It shows happiness and contentment, even if they are not rich or enjoy good health.

On the other hand, the sinful who might have wealth and power, yet their faces show stress and distress as well as unhappiness and other negative feelings they hold inside them.  It will be much worse on the Day of Resurrection.
