Surah Kahf ayat 30 Tafsir Quran 18:30

﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ إِنَّا لَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ مَنْ أَحْسَنَ عَمَلًا﴾
[ الكهف: 30]

18:30 Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - indeed, We will not allow to be lost the reward of any who did well in deeds.

Truly those who believe and perform righteous deeds — indeed We do not leave the reward of those of good deeds to go to waste this last sentence is the predicate of the previous inna’lladhīna ‘truly those who’ and in it an overt identification of the recipients of the reward has replaced the would-be pronominalisation in other words it is ‘their reward’ which shall not be left to go to waste and We will reward them with what it the reward of good-doers comprises.

Indeed those whose hearts are impressed with the image of religious and spiritual virtues and their deeds with wisdom and piety are the recipients of Allahs mercy and divine reward. We never annul, cancel or render unprofitable the due return accruing from a good deed imprinted with wisdom and piety

Verily, as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, certainly We shall not make the reward of anyone to be lost who does his ( righteous ) deeds in the most perfect manner ( 30 )These! For them will be Jannatu 'Adn; wherein rivers flow beneath them; therein they will be adorned with bracelets of gold, and they will wear green garments of Sundus and Istabraq.
They will be Muttaki'in therein on Ara'ik.
How good is the reward, and what an excellent Murtafaq ( 31 ) The Reward of those Who believe and do Righteous Deeds When Allah mentions the state of those who are doomed, He follows that by mentioning the blessed who believed in Allah and believed what His Messengers brought, those who did the righteous deeds that they commanded them to do.
They will have Jannatu 'Adn.
'Adn means lasting. تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهِمُ الْأَنْهَارُ ( wherein rivers flow beneath them, ) means, from beneath its rooms and dwellings.
Fir'awn said: وَهَٰذِهِ الْأَنْهَارُ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِي ( and these rivers flowing beneath me... )[ 43:51 ] يُحَلَّوْنَ ( they will be adorned ) means, with jewelry. فِيهَا مِنْ أَسَاوِرَ مِن ذَهَبٍ ( with bracelets of gold, ) Allah says elsewhere: وَلُؤْلُؤًا ۖ وَلِبَاسُهُمْ فِيهَا حَرِيرٌ ( and pearls and their garments therein will be of silk )[ 22:23 ].
This is explained in more detail here, where Allah says: وَيَلْبَسُونَ ثِيَابًا خُضْرًا مِّن سُندُسٍ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ ( and they will wear green garments of Sundus and Istabraq. ) Sundus refers to a fine garment, like a shirt and the like, and Istabraq is thick and shiny velvet. مُّتَّكِئِينَ فِيهَا عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ ( They will be Muttaki'in therein on Ara'ik. ) The word Muttaki'in implies lying down, or it was said that it means sitting with one's legs crossed, which is closer to the meaning here.
In a Sahih Hadith, the Prophet ﷺ said: أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَا آكُلُ مُتَّكِئًا ( As for me, I do not eat sitting with legs crossed (Muttaki'an )).
Ara'ik is the plural of Arikah, which is a bed under a canopy.
And Allah knows best. نِعْمَ الثَّوَابُ وَحَسُنَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا ( How good is the reward, and what an excellent place of rest (Murtafaq )!) means, how blessed is Paradise as a reward for their good deeds.
And what an excellent Murtafaq means, and how good a place to dwell and rest and stay.
Previously, Allah had said of Hell, بِئْسَ الشَّرَابُ وَسَاءَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا ( Terrible is the drink, and an evil place of rest (Murtafaq )!)[ 18:29 ].
In a similar way, He contrasts the two ( Paradise and Hell ) in Surat Al-Furqan, where He says: إِنَّهَا سَاءَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَمُقَامًا ( Evil indeed it (Hell ) is as an abode, and as a place to rest in.)[ 25:66 ].
Then He mentions the qualities of the believers, then says: أُولَٰئِكَ يُجْزَوْنَ الْغُرْفَةَ بِمَا صَبَرُوا وَيُلَقَّوْنَ فِيهَا تَحِيَّةً وَسَلَامًا - خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ حَسُنَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَمُقَامًا ( Those will be rewarded with the highest place because of their patience.
Therein they shall be met with greetings and the word of peace and respect.
Abiding therein excellent it is as an abode, and as a place to rest in. )[ 25:75-76 ]

Verily, as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, certainly We shall not make the reward of anyone to be lost who does his ( righteous ) deeds in the most perfect manner ( 30 )These! For them will be Jannatu 'Adn; wherein rivers flow beneath them; therein they will be adorned with bracelets of gold, and they will wear green garments of Sundus and Istabraq.
They will be Muttaki'in therein on Ara'ik.
How good is the reward, and what an excellent Murtafaq ( 31 ) The Reward of those Who believe and do Righteous Deeds When Allah mentions the state of those who are doomed, He follows that by mentioning the blessed who believed in Allah and believed what His Messengers brought, those who did the righteous deeds that they commanded them to do.
They will have Jannatu 'Adn.
'Adn means lasting. تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهِمُ الْأَنْهَارُ ( wherein rivers flow beneath them, ) means, from beneath its rooms and dwellings.
Fir'awn said: وَهَٰذِهِ الْأَنْهَارُ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِي ( and these rivers flowing beneath me... )[ 43:51 ] يُحَلَّوْنَ ( they will be adorned ) means, with jewelry. فِيهَا مِنْ أَسَاوِرَ مِن ذَهَبٍ ( with bracelets of gold, ) Allah says elsewhere: وَلُؤْلُؤًا ۖ وَلِبَاسُهُمْ فِيهَا حَرِيرٌ ( and pearls and their garments therein will be of silk )[ 22:23 ].
This is explained in more detail here, where Allah says: وَيَلْبَسُونَ ثِيَابًا خُضْرًا مِّن سُندُسٍ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ ( and they will wear green garments of Sundus and Istabraq. ) Sundus refers to a fine garment, like a shirt and the like, and Istabraq is thick and shiny velvet. مُّتَّكِئِينَ فِيهَا عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ ( They will be Muttaki'in therein on Ara'ik. ) The word Muttaki'in implies lying down, or it was said that it means sitting with one's legs crossed, which is closer to the meaning here.

Ara'ik is the plural of Arikah, which is a bed under a canopy.
And Allah knows best. نِعْمَ الثَّوَابُ وَحَسُنَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا ( How good is the reward, and what an excellent place of rest (Murtafaq )!) means, how blessed is Paradise as a reward for their good deeds.
And what an excellent Murtafaq means, and how good a place to dwell and rest and stay.
Previously, Allah had said of Hell, بِئْسَ الشَّرَابُ وَسَاءَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا ( Terrible is the drink, and an evil place of rest (Murtafaq )!)[ 18:29 ].
In a similar way, He contrasts the two ( Paradise and Hell ) in Surat Al-Furqan, where He says: إِنَّهَا سَاءَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَمُقَامًا ( Evil indeed it (Hell ) is as an abode, and as a place to rest in.)[ 25:66 ].
Then He mentions the qualities of the believers, then says: أُولَٰئِكَ يُجْزَوْنَ الْغُرْفَةَ بِمَا صَبَرُوا وَيُلَقَّوْنَ فِيهَا تَحِيَّةً وَسَلَامًا - خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ حَسُنَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَمُقَامًا ( Those will be rewarded with the highest place because of their patience.
Therein they shall be met with greetings and the word of peace and respect.
Abiding therein excellent it is as an abode, and as a place to rest in. )[ 25:75-76 ]

( Lo! as for those who believe ) in Muhammad ( pbuh ) and in the Qur’an ( and do good works ) between them and their Lord, ( Lo! We suffer not the reward of one whose work is goodly to be lost ) We thwart not the reward of him whose works are sincere.

Verily! As for those who believe and do righteous deeds, certainly! We shall not suffer to be lost the reward of anyone who does his (righteous) deeds in the most perfect manner.
