The Children of Israel
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[17:21]
Behold how We bestow [on earth] more bounty on some of them than on others: but [remember that] the life to come will be far higher in degree and far greater in merit and bounty.

* v.21 : Lit., “greater in degrees and greater in the bestowal of bounty (tafdīlan)”-but since the latter term obviously comprises, in this instance, the concept of “merit” as well, a composite rendering would seem to be indicated.
