Allah said,
﴿وَلَهُمْ فِيهَآ أَزْوَجٌ مُّطَهَّرَةٌ﴾
(and they shall have therein Azwajun Mutahharatun). Ibn Abi Talhah reported that
Ibn `Abbas said, "Purified from filth and impurity.'' Also, Mujahid said, "From
menstruation, relieving the call of nature, urine, spit, semen and pregnancies.''
Also, Qatadah said, "Purified from impurity and sin.'' In another narration, he
said, "From menstruation and pregnancies.'' Further, `Ata', Al-Hasan, Ad-Dahhak,
Abu Salih, `Atiyah and As-Suddi were reported to have said similarly.
Allah's statement,
﴿وَهُمْ فِيهَا خَـلِدُونَ﴾
(and they will abide therein forever) meaning ultimate happiness, for the believers
will enjoy everlasting delight, safe from death and disruption of their bliss, for
it never ends or ceases. We ask Allah to make us among these believers, for He is
the Most Generous, Most Kind and Most merciful.
﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ
يَسْتَحْىِ أَن يَضْرِبَ مَثَلاً مَّا بَعُوضَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَا فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُواْ فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ
فَيَقُولُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهَـذَا مَثَلاً يُضِلُّ بِهِ كَثِيرًا وَيَهْدِي
بِهِ كَثِيرًا وَمَا يُضِلُّ بِهِ إِلاَّ الْفَـسِقِينَ - الَّذِينَ يَنقُضُونَ عَهْدَ
اللَّهِ مِن بَعْدِ مِيثَـقِهِ وَيَقْطَعُونَ مَآ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَن يُوصَلَ
وَيُفْسِدُونَ فِي الاٌّرْضِ أُولَـئِكَ هُمُ الْخَـسِرُونَ ﴾
(26. Verily, Allah is not ashamed to set forth a parable even of a mosquito or so
much more when it is bigger (or less when it is smaller) than it. And as for those
who believe, they know that it is the truth from their Lord, but as for those who
disbelieve, they say: "What did Allah intend by this parable'' By it He misleads
many, and many He guides thereby. And He misleads thereby only the Fasiqin (the
rebellious, disobedient to Allah). (27. Those who break Allah's covenant after ratifying
it, and sever what Allah has ordered to be joined and do mischief on earth, it is
they who are the losers.)
In his Tafsir, As-Suddi reported that Ibn `Abbas, Ibn Mas`ud, and some Companions
said; "When Allah gave these two examples of the hypocrites'' meaning Allah's statements,
﴿مَثَلُهُمْ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِى اسْتَوْقَدَ
نَاراً﴾
(Their likeness is as the likeness of one who kindled a fire), and,
﴿أَوْ كَصَيِّبٍ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ﴾
(Or like a rainstorm from the sky), "The hypocrites said, `Allah's far more exalted
than for Him to make such examples.' So Allah revealed these Ayat (2:26-27) up to:
﴿هُمُ الْخَـسِرُونَ﴾
(Who are the losers)''. Sa`id said that Qatadah said, "Allah does not shy away from
the truth when He mentions a matter as a parable, whether this matter is significant
or not. When Allah mentioned the flies and the spider in His Book, the people of
misguidance said, `Why did Allah mention these things.' So Allah revealed;
﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَسْتَحْىِ أَن
يَضْرِبَ مَثَلاً مَّا بَعُوضَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَا﴾
(Verily, Allah is not ashamed to set forth a parable even of a mosquito or so much
more when it is bigger (or less when it is smaller) than it).''
