Translation
Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - We will surely cause him to live a good life, and We will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do.
Tafsir
Whoever acts righteously, whether male or female, and is a believer, him verily We shall revive with a goodly life. This is said to be life in the Paradise; or it is life on earth, [when it is] one of contentedness or one of wholesome (halaal) provision. And We shall surely pay them their reward according to the best of what they used to do.

Righteous Deeds and their Reward
Allah says:
مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَى وَهُوَ مُوْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُ حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْرَهُم بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ
Whoever does righteous deeds - whether male or female - while he (or she) is a believer; then We will certainly give them a good life, and We will certainly grant them their rewards in proportion to the best of what they used to do.
This is a promise from Allah to those Children of Adam, male or female, who do righteous deeds - deeds in accordance with the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet, with a heart that believes in Allah and His Messenger, while believing that these deeds are commanded and enjoined by Allah.
Allah promises that He will give them a good life in this world and that He will reward them according to the best of their deeds in the Hereafter.
The good life includes feeling tranquility in all aspects of life.
It has been reported that;
Ibn Abbas and a group (of scholars) interpreted it to mean good, lawful provisions.
It was reported that Ali bin Abi Talib interpreted as;
contentment.
This was also the opinion of Ibn Abbas, Ikrimah and Wahb bin Munabbih.
Ali bin Abi Talhah recorded from Ibn Abbas that;
it meant happiness.
Al-Hasan, Mujahid and Qatadah said:
""None gets (this) good life (mentioned) except in Paradise.""
Ad-Dahhak said:
""It means lawful provisions and worship in this life.""
Ad-Dahhak also said:
""It means working to obey Allah and finding joy in that.""
The correct view is that a good life includes all of these things. as found in the Hadith recorded by Imam Ahmad from Abdullah bin `Amr that the Messenger of Allah said:
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَرُزِقَ كَفَافًا وَقَنَّعَهُ اللهُ بِمَا اتَاه
He who submits (becomes a Muslim) has succeeded, is given sufficient provisions, and is content with Allah for what he is given.
It was also recorded by Muslim."
