The topics related to life after death are among the most complex theological topics, and one of these topics is the quality of reward for actions in life after death. The current research - using the library method in collecting information and the descriptive-analytical method in classifying data and the critical method in evaluating the views - has come to the conclusion that the commentators have presented five opinions about the quality of the hereafter reward. These views are 1) the manifestation of the book of deeds, not the deeds themselves, 2) seeing the punishment of the deeds, 3) the manifestation of the deeds themselves and good and bad morals, 4) the destruction of the worldly form and the manifestation of the afterlife form of actions, 5) the emergence of a real relationship between actions and rewards. This research evaluates these five points of view and in a novel discussion, identifies thirteen categories of Quranic verses in the framework of the research problem and analyzes the above five points of view with thirteen categories of verses and shows them in the end. The combination of Sadra's and Allameh Tabatabai's views is the correct answer to the research question, and other views are not completely compatible with the Quranic verses.

Leiden Encyclopedia of the Quran and Oliver Lyman's Encyclopedia of the Quran are among the most important Quranic studies of Orientalists that have been written with the aim of presenting the teachings of the Holy Quran. This article examines the entries of reward, punishment, heaven and hell in these two encyclopedias and explains their methodological and content-related flaws separately. The overlap of some entries with each other, the existence of incomplete entries, citing non-original or invalid sources, incompatibility and inconsistency of the content of articles with each other are among the most important methodological drawbacks, and regarding the teachings of the Quran as an echo of previous religious teachings, considering Satan angelic, depicting heaven and hell with material terms, presenting a harsh and unbalanced image of punishment and reward in the Qur'an, and describing incorrectly the human being's relationship with God's rule and Satan in Hell are among their most important content-related flaws. This article, citing authoritative Islamic sources and referring to solid Quranic arguments, shows that the orientalists who have studied and written on the Quran have not been able to gain an accurate understanding of the religious teachings of the Qur'an, and therefore their encyclopedic works are unreliable.
