most people, their sense of beauty, esthetics, and variety
is more refined. But even if there are deficiencies in what
they have, they still value and enjoy them. In return for their
fine moral character, Allah shows His mercy and love by
promising believers the best of everything and enabling
them to derive a deep enjoyment from what they have:
[Musa said to his people,] “And when your Lord
announced: ’If you are grateful, I will certainly give you
increase; but if you are ungrateful, My punishment is
severe.’" (Surah Ibrahim: 7)
. . . so that Allah can reward them for the best of what
they did and give them more from His unbounded
favor. Allah provides for anyone He wills without reck-
oning. (Surat an-Nur: 38)
Those who do good will have the best, and more!
(Surah Yunus: 26)

Their inability to enjoy their work
Due to their anxiety-ridden spiritual condition and the
”vicious circle” in which they live, those unbelievers whose
main goal is to have a good life and make the most of their
blessings consider working as a great nuisance. Not only
does it make them tired and therefore unable to live the
good life all the time, it also reminds them just how hard it
is to live the good life. Their ideal is to work less and to use
their extra time to live a better life. But this is impossible,
for they must always work harder to attain their desires,
which takes away their time for enjoying them.
