They repel through the good of their righteous actions the sins they earned, and from what I have provided them they spend in the avenues of good. | Those who have been described as mentioned will be given the reward of their actions by Allah twice, due to their persevering in faith in their own book and due to their faith in Muhammad (peace be upon him) when he was sent.
