    He from whom it is averted that Day - [Allah] has granted him mercy. And that is the clear attainment.

  • وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّقُوا۟ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَمَا خَلْفَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ

    So as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, their Lord will admit them into His mercy. That is what is the clear attainment.

  • مَن جَآءَ بِٱلْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُۥ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهَا وَهُم مِّن فَزَعٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ ءَامِنُونَ

    Whoever comes [at Judgement] with a good deed will have better than it, and they, from the terror of that Day, will be safe.
