S 4:13 Those are Allah’s hudud and he who obeys Allah and his messenger, he admits him to jannat, rivers running beneath them, abiding therein indefinitely. And that is the great win.
Why might the author be speaking of rivers that run beneath them?
S 4:73 And if a favour from Allah befell you he would say as though there had been no affection between you and him: Would that I had been with them then I would have had a great win!
S 5:119 Allah said: This is a day their truthfulness benefits the truthful. Theirs are jannat, rivers running beneath them, abiding therein forever. Allah was pleased with them and they were pleased with him. That is the great win.
S 9:72 Allah has promised the believing men and the believing women jannat, rivers running beneath them, abiding therein indefinitely, and good domiciles in jannat of ‘Adn. And pleasure from Allah is bigger. That--it is the great win.
S 9:89 Allah has prepared for them jannat, rivers running beneath them, abiding therein indefinitely. That is the great win.
S 9:100 And the first preceding of the emigrants and the Ansar and those who followed them in doing well, Allah was pleased with them and they were pleased with him. And he has prepared for them jannat, rivers running beneath them, abiding therein forever. That is the great win.
S 9:111 Allah has bought from the believers their souls and their monies because theirs is the Jannah. They fight in the way of Allah. They kill and are killed. A promise upon him, a law, in the Torah and the Injil and the Quran. And who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? So rejoice in your sale which you have contracted. And that, it is the great win.
Allah is bound by law. This law is found in the quran; isn't this the quran?
S 10:64 Theirs is the good news in the dunya life and in the hereafter. There is no change to Allah’s words. That is the great win.
If there are no changes to Allah's words, and if the Torah and the Injil, supposedly Allah's words, have been changed, then shouldn't that be rather the great loss, if 'the great win' here refers to preservation?
S 33:71 He corrects your deeds for you and forgives you your sins. And he who obeys Allah and his messenger has won a great win.
S 37:60 This is the great win.
S 40:9 And protect them from the evil deeds and him whom you protect from the evil deeds on that day, you have had mercy on. And that is the great win.
S 44:57 Favour from your lord. That is the great win.
S 48:5 That he may admit the believing men and the believing women to jannat, rivers running beneath them, abiding therein indefinitely, and atone for them their evil deeds, and that was with Allah a great win.
Do those in the jannat abide there indefinitely? See: Qur'an Contradiction: Will people stay in Hell forever, or not? Regarding Allah's atoning for them, see: Allah Atones For Muslims
S 57:12 On a day you see the believing men and women chasing, their light in front of them and in their right hands. Your good news today, jannat, rivers running beneath them, abiding therein indefinitely. That is the great win.
S 61:12 He forgives you your sins and admits you to jannat, rivers running beneath them, and good housing in Jannat of ‘Adn. That is the great win.
S 64:9 On a day he gathers you for the day of gathering, that is the day of taghabun. And he who believes in Allah and does a righteous deed he atones for him his evil deeds and admits him to jannat, rivers running beneath them, abiding therein forever. That is the great win.
So, what is "the great win"?
Does it mean salvation? Allah is promising heaven in return for your money and life?
