الآية رقم (16) - مَّن يُصْرَفْ عَنْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَدْ رَحِمَهُ وَذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْمُبِينُ

(16) - (He from whom it is averted that Day - [Allah] has granted him mercy. And that is the clear attainment.)

If a human being submits his affairs to Allah (swt), leaves Him to handle them, and ensures he obeys Him, He will have mercy upon him. This is because, the mercy of Allah (swt), is near to those who act with excellence, as He (swt) tells us:

 إِنَّ رَحْمَةَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

(Indeed, Allah’s mercy is always close to the Muhsinin) (Al-A’raf: 56)

We human beings cannot help but be amazed at the beauty of the Quranic Literature. The phrase contains the Arabic word of (mercy) which is feminine, however Allah (swt) described it as (close), which comes in masculine form. This is to indicate that the One who is near is Allah (swt), and He is also the Most Merciful.

(  وَذَٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْمُبِينُ… ) (…And that is the clear attainment): The clear and distinct triumph is when a person is spared of the punishment, because the verse before it. Therefore, in summary, the one who is spared of the punishment has been granted mercy. And this is considered the ultimate triumph.
