29. O believers! Verily I have clearly explained My great favour I have prepared for you in the multitude of rewards, so that the people of the previous Book i.e. the Jews and Christians know that they cannot access any of the favour of Allah in terms of being able to give it to whomsoever they wish, and so that they also know that true favour is in Allah’s Hands (may He be glorified); He grants it to whomsoever He wishes. And Allah is the bestower of great favours, which He exclusively gives to whichever of His servants He wishes.
الترجمة الإنجليزية للمختصر في تفسير القرآن الكريم
The people of earlier revelations should know that they have no power whatever over any of God’s bounty. All bounty is in God’s hand: He grants it to whomever He wills. God’s bounty is limitless.
