وَجَزَىٰهُم بِمَا صَبَرُوا۟ جَنَّةًۭ وَحَرِيرًۭا
And hath awarded them for all that they endured, a Garden and silk attire;

What It Means: Reading in Context
This verse continues the reward described in 76:11 for those whose devotion and generosity appear earlier in the passage. Its garden and clothing belong to the description of the Hereafter. Links to 76:8–11 preserve the connection between endurance, sincere giving and divine reward. These verses bring together patience, prayer, testing and perseverance. The sequence in Al-Baqarah 2:155–157 names experiences of loss and then describes the response of those who remember their return to Allah. Reading the sequence matters: a short quotation should not erase the reality of suffering. The library’s practical reflections suggest ways to pause, seek support and act with care; they are editorial reflections, not a scholarly explanation of every meaning of sabr. For interpretation, use the linked verse and its surrounding passage. Patience should never be used as a reason to dismiss someone’s pain or prevent them from seeking appropriate help.
