But God will admit those who believe and do good deeds to Gardens graced with flowing streams. God does whatever He wishes

The Reward of the Righteous
The mention of the misguided who are doomed is followed by mention of the righteous who are blessed. They are those who believe firmly in their hearts and confirm their faith by their actions, doing all kinds of righteous deeds and avoiding evil actions. Because of this, they will inherit dwellings in the lofty ranks of the gardens of Paradise. So Allah tells us that He sends those astray and guides these, and says:
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يُرِيدُ
(Verily, Allah does what He wills.)
Truly God shall admit those who believe and perform righteous deeds in the way of obligatory and supererogatory acts of worship into gardens underneath which rivers flow. Indeed God does whatever He desires in the way of showing beneficence to those who obey Him and degrading those who disobey Him.
إن الله يدخل الذين آمنوا بالله ورسوله، وثبتوا على ذلك، وعملوا الصالحات، جنات تجري من تحت أشجارها الأنهار، إن الله يفعل ما يريد من ثواب أهل طاعته تفضلا وعقاب أهل معصيته عدلا.
لما ذكر أهل الضلالة الأشقياء عطف بذكر الأبرار السعداء من الذين آمنوا بقلوبهم وصدقوا إيمانهم بأفعالهم فعملوا الصالحات من جميع أنواع القربات وتركوا المنكرات فأورثهم ذلك سكنى الدرجات العاليات في روضات الجنات ولما ذكر تعالى أنه أضل أولئك وهدى هؤلاء قال " إن الله يفعل ما يريد ".
ثم بينت السورة الكريمة ما أعده الله - تعالى - للمؤمنين الصادقين من حسن الثواب ، بعد أن صرحت بما توعد به - سبحانه - المجادلين فيه بغير علم بسوء العقاب ، فقال - تعالى - : ( إِنَّ الله يُدْخِلُ الذين آمَنُواْ . . . ) .
يقول تعالى ذكره: إن الله يدخل الذين صدقوا الله ورسوله، وعملوا بما أمرهم الله في الدنيا، وانتهوا عما نهاهم عنه فيها جنات يعني بساتين ( تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الأنْهَارُ ) يقول: تجري الأنهار من تحت أشجارها( إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يُرِيدُ ) فيعطي ما شاء من كرامته أهل طاعته، وما شاء من الهوان أهل معصيته.
قوله عز وجل: " إن الله يدخل الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار إن الله يفعل ما يريد ".
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُدْخِلُ الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يُرِيدُ (14)هذا مقابل قوله { ونذيقه يوم القيامة عذاب الحريق } [ الحج : 9 ] وقوله : { خسر الدنيا والآخرة } [ الحج : 11 ]. فالجملة معترضة ، وقد اقتصر على ذكر ما للمؤمنين من ثواب الآخرة دون ذكر حالهم في الدنيا لعدم أهمية ذلك لديهم ولا في نظر الدين .وجملة { إن الله يفعل ما يريد } تذييل للكلام المتقدم من قوله { ومن الناس من يجادل في الله بغير علم } [ الحج : 8 ] إلى هنا ، وهو اعتراض بين الجمل الملتئم منها الغرض . وفيها معنى التعليل الإجمالي لاختلاف أحوال الناس في الدنيا والآخرة .وفعْلُ الله ما يريد هو إيجاد أسباب أفعال العباد في سُنة نظام هذا العالم ، وتبيينه الخير والشرّ ، وترتيبه الثواب والعقاب ، وذلك لا يحيط بتفاصيله إلا الله تعالى .
لما ذكر تعالى المجادل بالباطل، وأنه على قسمين، مقلد، وداع، ذكر أن المتسمي بالإيمان أيضا على قسمين، قسم لم يدخل الإيمان قلبه كما تقدم، والقسم الثاني: المؤمن حقيقة، صدق ما معه من الإيمان بالأعمال الصالحة، فأخبر تعالى أنه يدخلهم جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار، وسميت الجنة جنة، لاشتمالها على المنازل والقصور والأشجار والنوابت التي تجن من فيها، ويستتر بها من كثرتها، { إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يُرِيدُ } فما أراده تعالى فعله من غير ممانع ولا معارض، ومن ذلك، إيصال أهل الجنة إليها، جعلنا الله منهم بمنه وكرمه.
قوله تعالى : إن الله يدخل الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار إن الله يفعل ما يريدقوله تعالى : إن الله يدخل الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار لما ذكر حال المشركين ، وحال المنافقين والشياطين ذكر حال المؤمنين في الآخرة أيضا . إن الله يفعل ما يريد أي يثيب من يشاء ويعذب من يشاء ؛ فللمؤمنين الجنة بحكم وعده الصدق وبفضله ، وللكافرين النار بما سبق من عدله ؛ لا أن فعل الرب معلل بفعل العبيد .
Whenever a man, unmindful of God, strays from His right path or ignores it, the reason is that he has placed his entire reliance on something other than God. This could be either an idol or some other such object or being. But, in this world, there is nobody who has any powers except the one and only God. Therefore, if a man relies on something other than God, he in fact parts from a powerful Being to seek the support of some imaginary thing which has no reality as a power. What action can be more wrong than this? Moreover, one’s association with God is not a simple matter. It is in fact an acceptance of reality. It is a right of God over man. Therefore, when a man leaves God and diverts his attention towards imaginary things, he is to be harmed by his own action. As far as any benefit is concerned, it can never be received from any object other than the one true God. Those who seek the support of things other than God apparently consider those things to be on a higher plane than themselves, as they would not otherwise have had recourse to them. But the fact is that those whose support is sought and those who seek such support are equally helpless and powerless. In such a world, the pure in thought, treading the God-favoured path with eyes fixed on the Hereafter, can distinguish God from a host of false gods. They are the most precious souls on this earth. God will show His appreciation for them by settling them in the perfect world of paradise, where they will experience eternal bliss.
Commentary
(And among men there is one who worships Allah (standing) on the verge - 22:11.) Bukhari and Ibn Abi Haim have related from Sayyidna Ibn ` Abbas ؓ that when the Holy Prophet ﷺ migrated to Madinah, people flocked to him and accepted the new religion. But there were some among them whose conversion to Islam was far from being genuine, and whose sole motive for their action was to seek self-advancement, and they lacked conviction. If, after becoming Muslims, favorable circumstances resulted in an increase in their prosperity and their children, they thought Islam was a very good religion, but they were equally ready to condemn it if things went against their personal interests. This verse was revealed to describe such people who were mere opportunists and were easily swayed either way depending on where their selfish interests lay.
(Lo! Allah causeth those who believe) in Muhammad (pbuh) and in the Qur'an (and do good works) acts of obedience between them and their Lord (to enter the Gardens beneath) beneath their trees and habitations (which rivers) rivers of wine, water, honey and milk (flow. Lo! Allah doth what He intendeth) whether it is bestowing bliss or inflicting damnation. This was also revealed about them when they said: we are afraid that Muhammad does not triumph in this world and, thus, we would loose the affinity existing between us and the Jews.
Truly God shall admit those who believe and perform righteous deeds into gardens�He said:They are those who were faithful to God in secret as well as in public, and followed the Sunna of the Prophet and did not innovate in any situation.His words:
