Give unto us in the world that which is good) of knowledge, worship, preservation from sins, martyrdom and booty (and in the Hereafter that which is good) Paradise and its bliss, (and guard us from the doom of Fire) drive away from us the torment of the grave and the torment of hell�.

And there are others who say ‘Our Lord give to us in this world good a grace and good Paradise in the Hereafter and guard us against the chastisement of the Fire’ by not making us enter it. This former statement depicts the manner of the idolaters while the latter the way of the believers and is intended to encourage people to petition for good in both abodes for which one is promised a reward as He says
