Hal jazaa ul ihsan ni illal ihsan?

Allah said in Quran 55:60:

"Hal jazaa ul ihsan ni illal ihsan?"
"Is there any reward for good, other than good?"

And, verses preceding 60 being an interweaving of His question about, "which of His mercy do we deny?" (Fabi ayyi alaa irabbikuma tukazziban?)
And therefore, 60 answers its own question!
That, for every good, the reward could only be another good, an equivocal good!
For with Allah, equations are linear.

Many a time in my life, I question why are things so hard?
But my good dear friends (may Allah bless you, M & Aalya) pointed an almost startling observation, something which was easy to overlook.
That the Prophet s.a.w was His most beloved servant, a man guaranteed of His garden, and yet the most unfortunate man when measured by the hands of us mortals.
His life was a rendition of hardship, far from ease.
But throughout, he remain steadfast to his role, never transgressing his boundaries.
A man of honor!

And just maybe...
55:60 is trying to wean men to do good despite any opposites being done unto him.
Despite hardships and non-linearities!
To continue doing good.
For its indisputable, that for every good, there will be good.
Just a question of time, upon which He said:

"Walal aakhiratu khairulla ka minal ulaa"
"The end is surely better than the beginning!"

May He accept our sincere deeds, as deeds with equivocal rewards.
From Him alone.

Ameen.
