29 Preface وَإِن كُنتُنَّ تُرِدنَ اللَّهَ وَرَسولَهُ وَالدّارَ الآخِرَةَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَعَدَّ لِلمُحسِناتِ مِنكُنَّ أَجرًا عَظيمًاYusuf AliBut if ye seek God and His Apostle, and the Home of the Hereafter, verily God has prepared for the well-doers amongst you1 a great reward.They were all well-doers. But being in their exalted position, they had extra responsibility, and they had to be specially careful to discharge it. In the same way, their reward would be “great”, for higher services bring higher spiritual satisfaction, though they were asked to deny themselves some of the ordinary indulgences of life.
