122 THE DAY OF JUDGMENT
Allah reveals that the believers will have an easy trial:
O Man! You are toiling laboriously toward your Lord, but meet

The believers who have lived their lives according to the will of
our Lord, Who created and guided them onto the right path, will
have their sins forgiven by Allah the Most Merciful, Who has
revealed that He will forgive sins and turn them into goodness for
those who believe and do good. On that Day, our Lord will address
the believers, who will already have received what was promised:
"O self at rest and at peace, return to your Lord, well-pleasing

In this way, they will be saved from the eternal Hellfire by His
grace and favor and enter Paradise full of endless reward. Their
reply to "enter Paradise" is revealed in the Qur'an:
They will say: "Praise be to Allah, Who has fulfilled His
promise to us and made us the inheritors of this land, letting us
settle in the Garden wherever we want. How excellent is the
wage of those who work!" (Surat az-Zumar, 74)
