him peace) wealthy in this life,
                    “Did He not find you impover-
                    ished and enrich you?”  (Surat ad-
                    Duha, 8). In addition, David (pbuh),
                    Solomon (pbuh), Dhu'l-Qarnayn (pbuh),
                    Abraham (pbuh) and his family all en-
                    joyed great wealth.
                         It is a glad tiding from Allah that

                    His faithful servants receive wonderful
                    blessings in this life both as a reward and as a
                    source of joy, and as an indication of His gen-
                    erosity and protection. Just as the unbelievers’
                    eternal pangs begin in this life, so do the believ-
                    ers begin to receive the eternal blessings
                    promised to them.

                         Another blessing on the sincere believers is
                    that their bad deeds are changed into good. As
                    we said earlier, a human being is a creature that
                    can easily make mistakes. A person may fall into
                    error, commit sins unknowingly, behave incor-
                    rectly and say bad things. But the important
                    thing is that he later repents of these errors and
                    corrects his behavior. To His servants with such
                    a sincere morality, our Lord gives glad tidings in

                    the Qur’an:
                         Those are people whose best deeds will be
                         accepted, and whose wrong deeds will be
                         overlooked.    They    are    among    the
