The Holy Quran 3:142 — Surah Ali 'Imran

Arabic text

أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تَدْخُلُوا۟ ٱلْجَنَّةَ وَلَمَّا يَعْلَمِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ جَـٰهَدُوا۟ مِنكُمْ وَيَعْلَمَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ

Translation

Do you think that you will enter Jannah (by mere comfort and relaxation) when Allaah has not yet (made) known (to people) those of you who exert themselves (in Jihaad, experiencing difficulty and hardship) and those who exercise sabr? (Those who sincerely exert themselves for Islaam and those who exercise sabr become deserving of Jannah because of their efforts. Such acts qualify them for entry into Jannah.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Paradise is not attained without patience and striving: that is, [concerning] the lofty places and high ranks of Paradise to which Allah wishes to bring you — do you think that you will simply get there at ease, and that Allah will not test you and see how many among you fight in the path of Allah and how many stand firm at the time of battle?
