Surah Al-Rahman - سورة الرحمن

هَلْ جَزَآءُ الإِحْسَـانِ إِلاَّ الإِحْسَـانُ

(Is there any reward for good other than good) 

Allah declares that in the Hereafter, all that is good and righteous is the only befitting reward for those who do good deeds in this life,

لِّلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُواْ الْحُسْنَى وَزِيَادَةٌ

(For those who have done good is best (reward) and even more.)(10:26) All of these are tremendous blessings that cannot be earned merely by good deeds, but by Allah's favor and bounty.
