COMMENTARY on 29:9
A. Yusuf Ali:

Translation:
And those who believe and work righteous deeds,- them shall We admit to the company of the Righteous. 3432
Commentary:

3432  The picking up again of the words which began verse 7 above shows that the same subject is now pursued from another aspect. The expiation or reward which was first spoken of is not so much a tangible thing as a restoration of status. The striving in righteous deeds will restore fallen man to the society of the Righteous-the ideal Fellowship described in 4:69 and n. 586.
