Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Destination of Righteous BelieversAfter Allah mentioned the condition of the miserable ones, He then mentioned the condition of the happy ones, saying,وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَاتِ(But those who believed, and worked righteousness) Their hearts have believed and they performed good deeds with their limbs and senses, as compared to those who disbelieved in the Ayat of Allah and were arrogant with them.
