Allah tells us that His blessed, believing servants will have a good final
return in the Hereafter, which means their ultimate destination. Then He
explains it further, as He says:
[جَنَّـتِ
عَدْنٍ]
(`Adn Gardens) meaning, eternal gardens (of Paradise),
[مُّفَتَّحَةً
لَّهُمُ الاٌّبْوَابُ]
(whose doors will be opened for them.) means, when they come to them (these
gardens), their gates will open for them.
[مُّتَّكِئِينَ
فِيهَا]
(Therein they will recline;) It was said that this means that they will sit
cross-legged on chairs beneath canopies.
[يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا
بِفَـكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ]
(therein they will call for fruits in abundance) means, whatever they ask
for, they will find it, and it will be prepared just as they wanted it.
[وَشَرَابٌ]
(and drinks;) means, whatever kind of drink they want, the servants will
bring it to them,
[بِأَكْوَابٍ
وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍ ]
(With cups, and jugs, and a glass of flowing wine.) (56: 18).
[وَعِندَهُمْ
قَـصِرَتُ الطَّرْفِ]
(And beside them will be Qasirat-at-Tarf (chaste females)) means, they
restrain their glances from anyone except their husbands, and do not turn to
anyone else.
[أَتْرَابٌ]
((and) of equal ages.) means, they will all be of the same age. This is the
understanding of Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, Mujahid, Sa`id bin
Jubayr, Muhammad bin Ka`b and As-Suddi.
[هَـذَا مَا
تُوعَدُونَ لِيَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ ]
(This it is what you are promised for the Day of Reckoning!) means, `this
that We have mentioned of the features of Paradise is what He has prepared for
His pious servants who will reach it after they have been resurrected from their
graves and been saved from the Fire.' Then Allah tells us that Paradise will
never come to an end or disappear or cease to be. He says:
[إِنَّ هَـذَا
لَرِزْقُنَا مَا لَهُ مِن نَّفَادٍ ]
(Verily, this is Our provision which will never finish.) This is like the
Ayat:
[مَا عِندَكُمْ
يَنفَدُ وَمَا عِندَ اللَّهِ بَاقٍ]
(Whatever is with you, will be exhausted, and whatever is with Allah will
remain) (16:96).
[عَطَآءً غَيْرَ
مَجْذُوذٍ]
(a gift without an end.) (11:108)
[لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ
غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ]
(for them is a reward that will never come to an end.) (84:25).
[أُكُلُهَا دَآئِمٌ
وِظِلُّهَا تِلْكَ عُقْبَى الَّذِينَ اتَّقَواْ وَّعُقْبَى الْكَـفِرِينَ
النَّارُ]
(its provision is eternal and so is its shade; this is the end of those who
have Taqwa, and the end (final destination) of the disbelievers is
Fire.)(13:35). And there are many similar Ayat.
[هَـذَا وَإِنَّ
لِلطَّـغِينَ لَشَرَّ مَـَابٍ - جَهَنَّمَ يَصْلَوْنَهَا فَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ -
هَـذَا فَلْيَذُوقُوهُ حَمِيمٌ وَغَسَّاقٌ - وَءَاخَرُ مِن شَكْلِهِ أَزْوَجٌ -
هَـذَا فَوْجٌ مُّقْتَحِمٌ مَّعَكُمْ لاَ مَرْحَباً بِهِمْ إِنَّهُمْ صَالُو
النَّارِ - قَالُواْ بَلْ أَنتُمْ لاَ مَرْحَباً بِكُمْ أَنتُمْ قَدَّمْتُمُوهُ
لَنَا فَبِئْسَ الْقَرَارُ - قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا مَن قَدَّمَ لَنَا هَـذَا فَزِدْهُ
عَذَاباً ضِعْفاً فِى النَّارِ - وَقَالُواْ مَا لَنَا لاَ نَرَى رِجَالاً كُنَّا
نَعُدُّهُمْ مِّنَ الاٌّشْرَارِ - أَتَّخَذْنَـهُمْ سِخْرِيّاً أَمْ زَاغَتْ
عَنْهُمُ الأَبْصَـرُ - إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَحَقٌّ تَخَاصُمُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ ]
(55. This is so! And for the Taghin will be an evil final return.) (56. Hell!
Where they will enter it, and worst (indeed) is that place to rest!) (57. This
is so! Then let them taste it - Hamim and Ghassaq.) (58. And other of similar
kind - all together!) (59. This is a troop entering with you (in Hell), no
welcome for them! Verily, they shall enter in the Fire!) (60. (The followers
will say to those who misled): "Nay, you (too)! No welcome for you! It is you
who brought this upon us, so evil is this place to stay in!'') (61. They will
say: "Our Lord! Whoever brought this upon us, add to him a double torment in the
Fire!'') (62. And they will say: "What is the matter with us that we see not men
whom we used to count among the bad ones'') (63. "Did we take them as an object
of mockery, or have (our) eyes failed to perceive them'') (64. Verily, that is
the very truth -- the mutual dispute of the people of the Fire!)
