And the focus is on deeds, not on exposing a specific individual among persons. He - the Exalted - said:

And We have enjoined upon man, to his parents, good treatment.

And His statement - the Exalted -

And it is said to those who feared Allah, "What has your Lord sent down?" They say, "Good."

And thus it is fitting that the following verses be interpreted upon this meaning:

"Allah sets forth an example: a township that was secure and peaceful" the verse.

"It is He who created you from a single soul and made from it its mate that he might dwell in security with her. And when he covered her" the verse,

"Certainly have the believers succeeded. (1) They who are during their prayer humbly submissive,"

"And do not obey every habitual swearer, despicable," the verses.

And it is not required in this image that all the exact particulars be found in a specific person,

just as in His statement - the Exalted -:

"The likeness of a seed which grew seven spikes; in every spike is a hundred grains" the verse,

it is not required that a seed with this exact description be found.

Rather, the purpose here is portraying the increase of reward and requital, nothing else.

So if an image is found,
