Verse122

(122) وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّالِحَاتِ سَنُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الأَنْهَارُ

خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا وَعْدَ اللّهِ حَقًّا وَمَنْ أَصْدَقُ مِنَ اللّهِ قِيلاً

122. " But (as for) those who believe and do righteous deeds, shortly we will admit them into gardens beneath which rivers flow. Therein they will abide forever. Allah's promise is the truth, and who is truer of word than Allah? "
Commentary:
We recited in the previous verses that: whoever takes Satan for a guardian rather than Allah has indeed suffered a manifest loss; and, Satan promises them and fills them with desires, and Satan does not promise them except delusion. Here, comparing them, the Qur'an state the fate of the believing persons.

It says:
" But (as for) those who believe and do righteous deeds, shortly we will admit them into gardens beneath which rivers flow..."
This bounty is not like the fleeting and transitory bounties of this world, but:
"... Therein they will abide forever..."
This promise is not alike with the false promises of Satan, but it is a true promise form the side of Allah:
"... Allah's promise is the truth,..."
It is evident that none can be truer in speech than Allah, because breach of promise is either for inability or ignorance or need, all of which are far from His Holy presence. It says:
"... and who is truer of word than Allah?"
