And those who have believed in Allah and His messengers - those are [in the ranks of] the supporters of truth and the martyrs, with their Lord. For them is their reward and their light. But those who have disbelieved and denied Our verses - those are the companions of Hellfire.
Tafsir
Verse range: 57:19
[Interpretation] He intends that those who believe in Allah and His messengers are, in the sight of Allah, in the rank of the Siddiqin (the truthful/upright) and the Shuhada (the martyrs). They are those who were foremost in belief and were martyred in the cause of Allah.
{For them is their reward and their light} Meaning: Like the reward of the Siddiqin and the Shuhada, and like their light.
[Question] If you ask: How can He equate them in reward when there must be a difference [in rank]?
[Answer] I say: The meaning is that Allah gives the believers their reward and multiplies it for them by His grace, until their reward—with its multiplication—equals the reward of those [the Siddiqin and Shuhada]. It is also permissible that {and the martyrs} is a subject (mubtada’), and {for them is their reward} is its predicate (khabar).
