Bismillah

Allah ta’ala says,

Those who believed and were fearing Allah: for them are glad tidings in the worldly life and in the Hereafter. (10:62-63)

Allah has connected receiving these glad tidings in the dunya and aakhirah to emaan and taqwa. The glad tidings the believer receives in this dunya are many; such good praise, love for them in the hearts of the believers, good dreams, the ease of doing good deeds, having good character, protection from bad character and everything they are given as a result of Allah’s Kindness upon them.

The glad tidings the believer receives in the aakhirah are in stages:

• Firstly, when their souls are taken.
• Secondly, when they are in the grave and they receive the news of Allah’s Pleasure and Everlasting Bliss.
• Thirdly and most importantly, entering the gardens of Jannah and being saved from the hell-fire.
