Verse 76

وَيَزِيدُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱهۡتَدَوۡاْ هُدٗىۗ وَٱلۡبَٰقِيَٰتُ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَٰتُ خَيۡرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابٗا وَخَيۡرٞ مَّرَدًّا

But God will increase in guidance those who are guided. And the things that endure – righteous deeds – are better with your Lord, and better in return.

After Allah mentions the extended time and respite that is allowed to those who are in misguidance, increasing them in misguidance, He informs of the increase in guidance of those who are rightly guided. Similarly He says,

And whenever there comes down a Surah, some of them say: “Winch of you has had his faith increased by it?”

And the following Ayah also shows this.

Concerning Allah’s statement,

Quoted Scripture

"And the righteous good deeds that last"

Its explanation has already preceded in Surat Al-Kahf along with a lengthy discussion concerning it and the related Hadiths.

Quoted Scripture

"(they) are better with your Lord for reward."

meaning the recompense and reward.

{and better for resort.} meaning in the final outcome, the result for its doer.

About this Source & Scholarly Authority (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Universal Sunni Consensus: Tafsir al-Qur'an al-Azim by Hafiz Ibn Kathir (701–774 AH / 1301–1373 AD) is universally regarded across all major schools of Sunni Islam (traditional, Salafi, Ash'ari) as the most authoritative classical exegesis. It is prized because it relies on Tafsir bil-Ma'thur—interpreting the Quran using the Quran itself, authentic Hadiths of Prophet Muhammad, and recorded statements of the early Companions (Sahabah).

Standard English Edition: This text is from the standard 10-volume English abridgment published by Dar-us-Salam Publications (supervised by Shaykh Safiur-Rahman Al-Mubarakpuri), which is the official, most widely distributed English Quranic commentary in mosques and Islamic libraries worldwide today.
