Surah Yusuf ayat 57 Tafsir Quran 12:57

﴿وَلَأَجْرُ الْآخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَكَانُوا يَتَّقُونَ﴾
[ يوسف: 57]

12:57 And the reward of the Hereafter is better for those who believed and were fearing Allah.

Yet the wage of the Hereafter is better than the wage of this world for those who believe and are God-fearing. And so the years of drought arrived and afflicted the land of Canaan and Syria.

Moreover, the reward Hereafter shall be far better; it falls to those who recognized Allah with hearts impressed with the image of religious and spiritual virtues and constantly entertained the profound reverence dutiful to Him

Yusuf's Reign in Egypt Allah said next, وَكَذلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِى الاٌّرْضِ ( Thus did We give full authority to Yusuf in the land ), in Egypt, يَتَبَوَّأُ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ يَشَآءُ ( to take possession therein, when or where he likes. ) As-Suddi and `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam said that this part of the Ayah means, "To do whatever he wants therein." Ibn Jarir at Tabari said that it means, "He used to move about freely in the land after being imprisoned, suffering from hardship and the disgrace of slavery." Allah said next, نُصِيبُ بِرَحْمَتِنَا مَن نَّشَآءُ وَلاَ نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ ( We bestow of Our mercy on whom We will, and We make not to be lost the reward of the good doers. ) Allah says here, We did not let the patience of Yusuf, from the harm his brothers exerted on him and being imprisoned because of the wife of the `Aziz, to be lost.
Instead, Allah the Exalted and Most Honored rewarded him with His aid and victory, وَكَذَلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِى الاٌّرْضِ يَتَبَوَّأُ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ يَشَآءُ نُصِيبُ بِرَحْمَتِنَا مَن نَّشَآءُ وَلاَ نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ - وَلاّجْرُ الاٌّخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَكَانُواْ يَتَّقُونَ ( And We make not to be lost the reward of the good doers.
And verily, the reward of the Hereafter is better for those who believed and had Taqwa. ) Allah states that what He has prepared for His Prophet Yusuf, peace be upon him, in the Hereafter is much greater, subs- tantial and honored than the authority He gave him in this life.
Allah said about His Prophet Sulayman ( Solomon ), peace be upon him, هَـذَا عَطَآؤُنَا فَامْنُنْ أَوْ أَمْسِكْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ - وَإِنَّ لَهُ عِندَنَا لَزُلْفَى وَحُسْنَ مَـَابٍ ( "This is Our gift, so spend or withhold, no account will be asked of you." And verily, for him is a near access to Us, and a good (final ) return ( Paradise ).) 38:39-40 Yusuf, peace be upon him, was appointed minister of finance by Ar-Rayyan bin Al-Walid, king of Egypt at the time, instead of the `Aziz who bought him and the husband of she who tried to seduce him.
The king of Egypt embraced Islam at the hands of Yusuf, peace be upon him, according to Mujahid.

(12:57) yet the reward of the life in the Hereafter is much better for those who believed and behaved in a God-fearing manner. *49 Ayah:58-62

And the reward of the Hereafter is meaning

*49) This is a warning against a misunderstanding that one might have had from the preceding verse that kingdom and power were the real ultimate rewards for virtue and righteousness, for the best reward that a Believer should desire and strive for will be the one that Allah will bestow upon Believers in the Hereafter.

( And the reward of the Hereafter is better ) than the reward of the life of this world, ( for those who believe ) in Allah and all the Scriptures and messengers ( and ward off (evil )) ward off disbelief, idolatry and indecencies.

And verily, the reward of the Hereafter is better for those who believe and used to fear Allah and keep their duty to Him (by abstaining from all kinds of sins and evil deeds and by performing all kinds of righteous good deeds).
