ʾulāʾika jazāʾuhum maghfiratun min rabbihim wa-jannātun tajrī min taḥtihā l-ʾanhāru khālidīna fīhā wa-niʿma ʾajru l-ʿāmilīna
Their reward is forgiveness from their Lord, and gardens with streams running in them, to remain in them [forever]. How excellent is the reward of the workers!
— Ali Quli Qarai
Surah 'Ali-Imran, Verse 136
136. "As for these, their reward is forgiveness from their Lord and Gardens beneath which rivers flow; therein they will abide forever. How blissful will the reward of (such) workers be! "
In three rather successively verses the existence of the words: 'the pious', 'the doers of good' and ' workers' is the sign for that piety is not a state with isolation or only a spiritual quality but it is often accompanied with action and kindness in the society.
Explanations
1. As long as a person is not purified from sins, the one is not eligible to enter Paradise.
2. Mere wishes are not enough for obtaining the Divine favours, but effort and action are necessary.
