The Holy Quran 28:61 — Surah Al-Qasas

Arabic text

أَفَمَن وَعَدْنَـٰهُ وَعْدًا حَسَنًا فَهُوَ لَـٰقِيهِ كَمَن مَّتَّعْنَـٰهُ مَتَـٰعَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ هُوَ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ

Translation

Can the person (the Mu'min) who receives the promise (of Jannah which) We made to him (for accepting Imaan and for doing good deeds), be like the one (the Kaafir) to whom We have granted the pleasures (benefit) of this worldly life, after which he will be from those to be presented (as a morsel to Jahannam) on the Day of Qiyaamah? (Therefore, a Mu'min is always better than a Kaafir.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The believer and the disbeliever are not equal: that is, how can the believer and the disbeliever be equal in their outcome? For one there is a promise of everlasting bliss which will certainly be fulfilled, and for the other, after a few days of pleasure, a warrant of arrest and a perpetual prison, Allah protect us!
