Translation
Race toward forgiveness from your Lord and a Garden whose width is like the width of the heavens and earth, prepared for those who believed in Allah and His messengers. That is the bounty of Allah which He gives to whom He wills, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty.
Verse interpretation (Tafsir)
O people! Hasten towards good deeds i.e. repentance and other actions, through which you will achieve forgiveness for your sins. You will also acquire through them a Paradise the width of which is the width of the heavens and the earth; Allah has prepared this Paradise for those who bring faith in Him and His messengers. That reward is a favour of Allah that He grants whichever of His servants He wishes; He (may He be glorified) is the bestower of great favours to His believing servants.
