Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 04)
Verses 85-88Verses 83-84

      The above verses may be taken as a conclusion to the incident of Moses and Pharaoh, and his companion Korah. They challenged with truth, and sought unjust superiority over the people, and arrogantly stood firm against the truth that was with Moses. Pharaoh was blinded by pride, and wealth had deafened Korah. So they lost whatever they had in this world, and provided nothing for their next life except Fire and the wrath of God.

      We have translated Arabic, ``OLLOV'' in the text, to ``EXORBITANT'' as opposed to submission to the will of God. It implies those who have the tendency to go beyond the established limits of truth and right. They want to exceed what is customary, proper, and reasonable.

      Then reference is made to the consequences of Man's deeds, the reaction of which will return to himself. A good deed has a surely good reward, and according to some other verses, our Gracious God may sometimes give a tenfold reward to a good doer, depending how sincere and faithful in his acts he might be. We read in S 6:160:

      ``Whoever comes with a good deed, he shall have a tenfold the like of it, and whoever comes with a bad deed, he will not be oppressed.''
