00:00:00.820 --> 00:00:03.819
A verse and its Tafsir.

00:00:03.819 --> 00:00:07.459
Allah the Exalted says:

00:00:07.459 --> 00:00:14.179
"They shall have their reward with their Lord."

00:00:14.179 --> 00:00:18.179
In the Qur'an, the term "reward" (ajr) is used exclusively for beneficial outcomes.

00:00:18.179 --> 00:00:20.179
Such as the statement of Allah the Exalted:

00:00:20.179 --> 00:00:24.179
"They shall have their reward with their Lord."

00:00:24.179 --> 00:00:25.179
And His saying:

00:00:25.179 --> 00:00:27.179
"Then his reward is upon Allah."

00:00:27.179 --> 00:00:31.410
Whereas the term "recompense" (jaza') is used for both beneficial and harmful outcomes.

00:00:31.410 --> 00:00:33.409
Such as His saying, the Exalted:

00:00:33.409 --> 00:00:38.409
"And He will recompense them for their patience with a Garden and silk."

00:00:38.409 --> 00:00:40.439
And His saying:

00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:43.600
"His recompense is Hell."

00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:45.600
