It would be of interest to note that man reaps the fruit of his efforts rather than fulfillment of something which connotes that it is of significance to strive and make efforts even if one may not attain to his goal; if he intends to do righteous good deeds, God Almighty will grant him his reward, since he seeks good intentions rather than fulfilled tasks. Surah al-Najm - Verses 40-42 وَأنَّ سَعْيَهُ سَوْفَ يُرَی ثُمَّ يُجْزَاهُ الْجَزَاء الْأوْفَی وَأنَّ إِلَی رَبِّكَ الْمُنتَهَی 40.

And that his deeds will be seen. 41. Then he will be recompensed with a full and the best recompense. 42. And that to your Lord is the return of all. The blessed Verses 40 and 41 are saying that one who perseveres in the fulfillment of his tasks not only will soon receive the reward of his righteous good deeds in full but also will reap further rewards for the same.

It is mentioned in the Holy Qur’an that each and every righteous good deed will accrue tenfold rewards and some believers and the God fearing will receive rewards several times as much. The blessed Verse 42 says that everything shall indubitably return to your Lord, since He is the Efficient Cause and the Final Cause and the pivot of the world of creation, its beginning, and its end rests on Divine Pure Essence.

Surah al-Najm - Verses 43-44 وَأنَّهُ هُوَ أضْحَكَ وَأبْكَی وَأنَّهُ هُوَ أمَاتَ وَأحْيَا 43. And that it is He Who makes [whom He wills] laugh and makes [whom He wills] weep. 44. And that it is He Who causes death and gives life. Although Divine Acts are being done through intermediaries, but in fact He is the Main Cause. Repetition of the pronoun; "He" reflects that He is the only Main Cause. Thus it is said: O Muhammad (S)!

Your Lord toward Whom you guide people is the Lord and Fosterer of all things. Creatures in the higher and the lower spheres and the overt and covert attributes and traces of the beings of the world of creation all rest upon His Will. Even laughing arising from the felicity of the soul and weeping stemming from grief and sorrow as well as life and death as two opposite existential phenomena rest on Divine Will and the Existential Command of the Fosterer of the world of existence.

Surah al-Najm - Verses 45-47 وَأنَّهُ خَلَقَ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالاُنثَی مِن نُّطْفَةٍ إِذَا تُمْنَی وَأنَّ عَلَيْهِ النَّشْأةَ الاُخْرَی 45. And that He creates the pairs, male and female 46. From semen when it is emitted [into the womb]. 47. And that upon Him is another creation upon Resurrection.
