In the Quran comes (guidance and good tidings), so what is the secret of this order?

That they achieved guidance first, so they earned the news of good tidings for it second (al-Tafsir al-Muharrar)

I say: and among the evidence for it is the saying of Allah the Exalted (Unquestionably, [for] the allies of Allah there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve. Those who believed and were fearing Allah. For them are good tidings in the worldly life and in the Hereafter. No change is there in the words of Allah. That is what is the great attainment)

They exerted the means of guidance, so they were granted allyship, and so they attained for it the prizes of good tidings.

— Shoroog Almehmadi

(And recite to them the news of him to whom We gave Our signs, but he detached himself from them)

(And recite to them the news of him to whom We gave Our signs, but he detached himself from them; so Satan pursued him, and he became of the deviators) A parable Allah struck for the one to whom He gave the Quran and clear proofs, yet he did not act upon it; and the cause of his swerving from guidance: following desire instead of the Book; and preferring this world over the Hereafter.
