Does God never make the reward of good doers who have fear for God to be lost in this world?


Verses 56-57 of Chapter 12:
Thus did We give full authority to Yusuf in the land, to take possession therein, when or where he likes. We bestow of Our mercy on whom We will, and We make not to be lost the reward of the good doers. And verily, the reward of the Hereafter is better for those who believed and had Taqwa (fear for God). 

Verses 89-90 of Chapter 12:
He said: "Do you know what you did with Yusuf and his brother, when you were ignorant''. They said: "Are you indeed Yusuf'' He said: "I am Yusuf , and this is my brother. Allah has indeed been gracious to us. He who has Taqwa (fear for God), and is patient, then surely, Allah makes not the reward of the good doers to be lost.''

People who desire this worldly life are given the full rewards of their works in this world, but nothing is left except the Fire in the Next World!


Verses 15-16 of Chapter 11:
Those who desire this worldly life and its splendors are given the full reward of their works here and nothing is detracted from it. But there is nothing except the Fire for them in the Next World. (There they shall come to know) that all that they did in this world had come to naught and whatever they did was useless and worthless.

Why is there no compulsion in religion?



Verses 99-100 of Chapter 10:
Had your Lord willed (that all the people of the world should be believers), all the dwellers of the earth would have believed in Him Will you, then, force the people to become believers? No one can believe without Allah's permission, and it is the way of Allah that He throws filth on those who do not use their commonsense.
