There are (varying) grades with Allah, and Allah sees what they do.

And all have degrees according to what they do; and your Lord is not heedless of what they do.

And whoever comes to Him a believer (and) he has done good deeds indeed, these it is who shall have the high ranks,

And for all are degrees according to what they did, and that He may pay them back fully their deeds and they shall not be wronged.

And what reason have you that you should not spend in Allah's way? And Allah's is the inheritance of the heavens and the earth, not alike among you are those who spent before the victory and fought (and those who did not): they are more exalted in rank than those who spent and fought afterwards; and Allah has promised good to all; and Allah is Aware of what you do.

O you who believe! when it is said to you, Make room in (your) assemblies, then make ample room, Allah will give you ample, and when it is said: Rise up, then rise up. Allah will exalt those of you who believe, and those who are given knowledge, in high degrees; and Allah is Aware of what you do.
