As for those who worked righteousness, while believing, they will have no fear of injustice or adversity.وَكَذٰلِكَ أَنزَلنٰهُ قُرءانًا عَرَبِيًّا وَصَرَّفنا فيهِ مِنَ الوَعيدِ لَعَلَّهُم يَتَّقونَ أَو يُحدِثُ لَهُم ذِكرًا

Recall that we said to the angels, "Fall prostrate before Adam." They fell prostrate, except Satan; he refused.فَقُلنا يٰـٔادَمُ إِنَّ هٰذا عَدُوٌّ لَكَ وَلِزَوجِكَ فَلا يُخرِجَنَّكُما مِنَ الجَنَّةِ فَتَشقىٰ
We then said, "O Adam, this is an enemy of you and your wife. Do not let him evict you from Paradise, lest you become miserable.إِنَّ لَكَ أَلّا تَجوعَ فيها وَلا تَعرىٰ
"You are guaranteed never to hunger therein, nor go unsheltered.Cited in

But the devil whispered to him, saying, "O Adam, let me show you the tree of eternity and unending kingship."فَأَكَلا مِنها فَبَدَت لَهُما سَوءٰتُهُما وَطَفِقا يَخصِفانِ عَلَيهِما مِن وَرَقِ الجَنَّةِ ۚ وَعَصىٰ ءادَمُ رَبَّهُ فَغَوىٰ

ثُمَّ اجتَبٰهُ رَبُّهُ فَتابَ عَلَيهِ وَهَدىٰ
Subsequently, his Lord chose him, redeemed him, and guided him.قالَ اهبِطا مِنها جَميعًا ۖ بَعضُكُم لِبَعضٍ عَدُوٌّ ۖ فَإِمّا يَأتِيَنَّكُم مِنّى هُدًى فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ هُداىَ فَلا يَضِلُّ وَلا يَشقىٰ
He said, "Go down therefrom, all of you. You are enemies of one another. When guidance comes to you from Me, anyone who follows My guidance will not go astray, nor suffer any misery.
For the Disbelievers: Miserable Life Unavoidable

We thus requite those who transgress and refuse to believe in the revelations of their Lord. The retribution in the Hereafter is far worse and everlasting.أَفَلَم يَهدِ لَهُم كَم أَهلَكنا قَبلَهُم مِنَ القُرونِ يَمشونَ فى مَسٰكِنِهِم ۗ إِنَّ فى ذٰلِكَ لَءايٰتٍ لِأُولِى النُّهىٰ

Therefore, be patient in the face of their utterances, and praise and glorify your Lord before sunrise and before sunset. And during the night glorify Him, as well as at both ends of the day, that you may be happy.وَلا تَمُدَّنَّ عَينَيكَ إِلىٰ ما مَتَّعنا بِهِ أَزوٰجًا مِنهُم زَهرَةَ الحَيوٰةِ الدُّنيا لِنَفتِنَهُم فيهِ ۚ وَرِزقُ رَبِّكَ خَيرٌ وَأَبقىٰ
And do not covet what we bestowed upon any other people. Such are temporary ornaments of this life, whereby we put them to the test. What your Lord provides for you is far better, and everlasting.
