At numerous places in the Quran it has been stated that only such an act of virtue is appreciable and becomes a means of salvation as is accompanied by faith. In Surah An-Nisa, for example, it has been said: The one who does good deeds, whether man or woman, provided that the one is a believer, will enter Paradise (verse 124). In Surah An-Nahl: Whosoever does righteous deeds, whether male or female, provided that he is a believer, We shall surely grant him to live a pure life in this world, and We will reward such people (in the Hereafter) according to their best deeds (verse 97). In Surah Al-Momin: Whoever does good, whether man or woman, provided that he is a believer, all such people shall enter Paradise wherein they shall be provided without measure. (verse 4). Whoever studies the Quran, will see that in this Book wherever the good reward of a righteous act has been mentioned, it has always been made conditional upon the faith, a good act without faith has nowhere been regarded as acceptable to God, nor has any hope been given for a reward for it. - [2] Here, the following important point should also not remain hidden from view: In this verse it has not been said: Then he believed, but: Then being among those who have believed. This means that mere believing as an individual and remaining content with it is not what is desired; what is desired is that every new believer should join those who have already believed so as to form a party of the believers, to bring about a believing society, which should work for establishing the virtues and wiping out the vices as demanded by the faith. ### Abdel Khalek Himmat — Al- Muntakhab Besides being one of those characterized by piety in every deed, who enjoin forbearance under provocation, bear with others their faults and limitations and enjoin endurance of pain, trouble or evil and constancy in labour, exertion or effort and show compassion toward suffering fellow-creatures, being disposed to forgive and exercise mercy. ### Bijan Moeinian The one who engages in the type of actions which pleases God deserves to be led to the straight path. Such a person will be rewarded with belief and will invite his fellow believer to be patient when they are overpowered and to be merciful when they have the upper hand. ### Al-Hilali & Khan Then he became one of those who believed (in the Islamic Monotheism) and recommended one another to perseverance and patience, and (also) recommended one another to pity and compassion. ### Abdullah Yusuf Ali Then will he be of those who believe, and enjoin patience, (constancy, and self-restraint), and enjoin deeds of kindness and compassion. ### Mustafa Khattab — The Clear Quran and—above all—to be one of those who have faith and urge each other to perseverance and urge each other to compassion. ### Taqi Usmani - then he did not join those who believe and advise each other to be patient and advise each other to be merciful. ### Abdul Haleem and to be one of those who believe and urge one another to steadfastness and compassion. ### Arthur John Arberry then that he become of those who believe and counsel each other to be steadfast, and counsel each other to be merciful. ### E.
