وَيَزِيدُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱهْتَدَوْا هُدًى ۗ وَٱلْبَٰقِيَٰتُ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ مَّرَدًّا

"And Allah increases those who were guided, in guidance, and the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for recourse."

اور جو لوگ ہدایت یاب ہیں خدا ان کو زیادہ ہدایت دیتا ہے۔ اور نیکیاں جو باقی رہنے والی ہیں وہ تمہارے پروردگار کے صلے کے لحاظ سے خوب اور انجام کے اعتبار سے بہتر ہیں

Explanation

To be rightly guided means the arousal of one’s consciousness and the turning of it in the right direction. Whatever the circumstances, and whatever events befall a rightly guided man, he interprets them correctly and his soul derives nourishment from them. In this way there is a constant increase in the guidance he receives in terms of faith and quality of life. The guidance received by him is not like a stagnant pool or a lifeless rock: it is like a living and ever-growing tree. Just as one who keeps worldly interests in view progresses in this world, similarly, one who acts with the Hereafter in view keeps on accumulating his good deeds. But as they are being amassed and stored in the Hereafter, their build-up is not visible in this world. However, when Doomsday tears apart the veil, everybody will see how the guidance of the guided one was being enhanced and how, along with this, his righteous deeds were also accruing.
