The glorious Islamic law included system, provisions and legislations in all aspects of life and society, whether in relation to beliefs, worship, transactions, morals, or related to general laws, the judiciary and the retribution, thus, forming an integrated system for humanity to achieve happiness in this world, and win paradise and Allah’s pleasure in the hereafter. Almighty Allah created man to worship Him and to be his successor on earth, hence, the research problem lies in dealing with this issue, as ignorance of what Almighty Allah prepared for his faithful servants in reward and retribution, or not studying it from time to time causes the believer to turn away from the worship of Allah and the primary function for which Allah created him. The research aims to explain the concept of reward, with clarification of the derivations and conjugations of the reward in the Holy Quran. This research is qualitative research, and the researcher relied on gathering information on the inductive descriptive approach by tracking the verses in the Quranic Surah related to the subject of the study and explaining its interpretation. The study also used the analytical method to extract the significance of the verses and their benefits. Among the results reached by the researcher, is that the use of the term “reward” was mentioned in the Holy Qur’an for reward and kindness to those who did obedience act, punishment and offense to those who committed sins. The reward that Almighty Allah has prepared for believers in the world is of two types, moral and material, and each of them has appearances and images. The ignorance of Allah’s reward for every attempt, responsibility and activity is detrimental to the insistence of Allah’s worship. Hence, the study shall reveal these moral rewards in light of the Qur’an to increase compliance with the commandment of Allah.
