Allah says,
[وَيَطُوفُ
عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَنٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ حَسِبْتَهُمْ لُؤْلُؤاً
مَّنثُوراً ]
(And round about them will (serve) boys of everlasting youth. If you see
them, you would think them scattered pearls.) meaning, young boys from the boys
of Paradise will go around serving the people of Paradise.
[مُّخَلَّدُونَ]
(everlasting youth.) meaning, in one state forever which they will be never
changing from, they will not increase in age. Those who have described them as
wearing earings in their ears have only interpreted the meaning in such a way
because a child is befitting of this description and not an adult man.
Concerning Allah's statement,
[إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ
حَسِبْتَهُمْ لُؤْلُؤاً مَّنثُوراً]
(If you see them, you would think them scattered pearls.) meaning, when you
see them dispersing to fulfill the needs of their masters, their great number,
their beautiful faces, handsome colors, fine clothing and ornaments, you would
think that they were scattered pearls. There is no better quality than this, nor
is there anything nicer to look at than scattered pearls in a beautiful place.
Allah says,
[وَإِذَا
رَأَيْتَ]
(And when you look) meaning, `when you see it, O Muhammad.'
[ثُمَّ]
(there) meaning, there. This refers to Paradise and its beauty, its vastness,
its loftiness and the joy and happiness it contains.
[رَأَيْتَ نَعِيماً
وَمُلْكاً كَبِيراً]
(You will see a delight, and a great dominion.) meaning, there will be a
great kingdom that belongs to Allah and a dazzling, splendid dominion. It has
been confirmed in the Sahih that Allah will say to the last of the people of the
Fire to be taken out of it, and the last of the people to enter into Paradise,
«إِنَّ لَكَ مِثْلَ
الدُّنْيَا وَعَشَرَةَ أَمْثَالِهَا»
(verily, you will have similar to the world and ten worlds like it (in
addition to it).'') If this is what He will give to the least of those who will
be in Paradise, then what do you think about the one who will have a higher
status and will be favored even more by Allah , nor any painful cold, rather
there will only be one climate that will be always and eternal and they will not
want it to be changed. This refers to Paradise and its beauty, its vastness, its
loftiness and the joy and happiness it contains.
