Tafsir of this Ayah Ibn Kathir

Verily, this Qur'an guides to that which is most just and right and gives good news to those who believe, those who do righteous deeds, that they will have a great reward (Paradise)(9)And that those who do not believe in the Hereafter, for them We have prepared a painful torment (Hell)(10)

Praising the Qur'an

Allah praises His noble Book, the Qur'an, which He revealed to His Messenger Muhammad ﷺ. It directs people to the best and clearest of ways.

وَيُبَشِّرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

(gives good news to those who believe,) in it

الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الصَّالِحَاتِ

(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

وَأَنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ

(those who do not believe in the Hereafter,) that

لَهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا

(for them is a painful torment,) i.e. on the Day of Resurrection. As Allah says:

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

(...then announce to them a painful torment.)[84:24]
