وَيُبَشِّرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
(gives good news to those who believe,) in it a
الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الصَّـلِحَاتِ
(those who do righteous deeds,) in accordance with it, telling them
أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا كَبِيرًا
(that they will have a great reward,) i.e., on the Day of Resurrection. And He tells
وأَنَّ الَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالاٌّخِرَةِ
(those who do not believe in the Hereafter,) that
لَهُمْ عَذَاباً أَلِيماً
(for them is a painful torment,) i.e. on the Day of Resurrection. As Allah says:
فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
