Allah tells us that on the Day of Resurrection, when the people of Paradise
have reached the arena of judgement, and have settled in the gardens of
Paradise, they will be too preoccupied with their own victory and new life of
eternal delights to worry about anyone else. Al-Hasan Al-Basri and Isma`il bin
Abi Khalid said, "They will be too busy to think about the torment which the
people of Hell are suffering. Mujahid said:
[فِى شُغُلٍ
فَـكِهُونَ]
(will be busy with joyful things.) "With the delights which they are
enjoying.'' This was also the view of Qatadah. Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased
with him, said, "This means that they will be rejoicing.''
[هُمْ
وَأَزْوَجُهُمْ]
(They and their wives) Mujahid said, "Their spouses,
[فِى ظِلَـلٍ]
(will be in pleasant shade,) means, in the shade of trees.''
[عَلَى الاٌّرَآئِكِ
مُتَّكِئُونَ]
(reclining on thrones.) Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Muhammad bin Ka`b,
Al-Hasan, Qatadah, As-Suddi and Khusayf said:
[الاٌّرَائِكِ]
(throne) means beds beneath canopies.
[لَهُمْ فِيهَا
فَـكِهَةٌ]
(They will have therein fruits) means, of all kinds.
[وَلَهُمْ مَّا
يَدَّعُونَ]
(and all that they ask for.) means, whatever they ask for, they will find it,
all kinds and types.
[سَلاَمٌ قَوْلاً
مِّن رَّبٍّ رَّحِيمٍ ]
("Salam (Peace!)'' -- a Word from the Lord (Allah), Most Merciful.) Ibn
Jurayj said, "Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said, concerning this
Ayah, Allah Himself, Who is the Peace (As-Salam) will grant peace to the people
of Paradise. This view of Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, is like the
Ayah:
[تَحِيَّتُهُمْ
يَوْمَ يَلْقَوْنَهُ سَلَـمٌ]
(Their greeting on the Day they shall meet Him will be "Salam'') (33:44).
[وَامْتَازُواْ
الْيَوْمَ أَيُّهَا الْمُجْرِمُونَ - أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يبَنِى ءَادَمَ
أَن لاَّ تَعْبُدُواْ الشَّيطَـنَ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ - وَأَنِ
اعْبُدُونِى هَـذَا صِرَطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ - وَلَقَدْ أَضَلَّ مِنْكُمْ جِبِلاًّ
كَثِيراً أَفَلَمْ تَكُونُواْ تَعْقِلُونَ ]
(59. (It will be said): "And O you the criminals! Get you apart this Day.'')
(60. "Did I not command you, O Children of Adam, that you should not worship
Shaytan Verily, he is a plain enemy to you.'') (61. "And that you should worship
Me. That is the straight path.'') (62. "And indeed he did lead astray a great
multitude of you. Did you not then understand'')
