Surah Al-Baqarah (2:112)

بَلٰى مَنۡ اَسۡلَمَ وَجۡهَهٗ لِلّٰهِ وَهُوَ مُحۡسِنٌ فَلَهٗۤ اَجۡرُهٗ عِنۡدَ رَبِّهٖ وَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُوۡنَ‏ ۝

Bala man aslama wajhahu lillahiwahuwa muhsinun falahu ajruhu AAinda rabbihi walakhawfun AAalayhim wala hum yahzanoon

Yes, on the contrary, whoever submits his face i.e., self in Islām to Allāh while being a doer of good will have his reward with his Lord. And no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.

Tadabbur (Reflection)

Theme of the Ayat

The Criteria for Salvation: Complete submission and excellence in deed.

The Insight

The true criteria for reward is not sectarianism but complete submission (*Islam*) to God and performing excellent deeds, leading to a guarantee of security. Focus on the quality of your submission. Be a person who strives for excellence (*Ihsan*) in all actions, knowing that true security comes from this sincere, total surrender to the Creator's will.
