Atheists in Quran (49) they came to eradicate Islam

The Atheists announced that they came from Makkah to Al-Madinah to kill the Prophet Muhammad and eradicate Islam and Muslims from the face of the Earth.

See what happened to them and what the Angels have done to them!

———————————————–

Background of the verses 8:50-51

Date: more than 1400 years ago

Place: nearby Al-Madinah in the Arabia

Event: the first battle between the Atheists among the Arabs and the believers

The name of the battle: the Day of “Badr”

Situation: The Atheists were about 1000 well-armed men

                The believers were 300 weakly armed men

Media: the Atheists announced that they came from Makkah to Al-Madinah to kill the Prophet Muhammad and eradicate Islam and Muslims from the face of the Earth

Result: Muslims won and the Atheists severely lost the battle. About 100 Atheists killed, another 100 captivated and the rest flee from the shock of such result.

Was this the only fate of the Atheists?

No

The meanings of the verses 8:50-51

If you could see O Muhammad and believers how the angels, on the Day of Badr, take away the Atheists’ souls, smiting their faces and their backs and saying unto them:

Taste the severe punishment of burning.

This chastisement is for what your hands have done while you were unbelieving know that Allah is just to His servants, such that he would not punish them for no sin.

Know that Allah is not a tyrant to His servants such that He would take them to task without them having committed a crime.

Allah’s Justice is for all

We see the angels acting on Allah’s instructions and by His permission, reproaching the unbelievers and meting out punishment to them. They gather their souls in a very harsh manner and dole out to them the sort of treatment that befits their arrogance and conceit. Even in the most difficult of times, they remind them of their evil deeds and tell them of their inevitable destiny. There is no injustice in what they are about to suffer. It is only what they deserve.

The verse makes it clear that punishing the unbelievers for their misdeeds is a constant law that Allah has set into operation:

The two verses, however, may also be taken as a reference to a continuing situation that applies whenever the angels gather the souls of unbelievers.

In this case the opening phrase, “if you could but see”, may be understood as an address to anyone with eyes to see. This type of address is used frequently to direct attention to certain matters that need to be contemplated.

The verses portray a fearful picture of the unbelievers as the angels gather their souls, adding humiliation to their misery and combining physical suffering with death:

“If you could but see how the angels gather up the souls of the unbelievers. They strike them on their faces and their backs.”

The mode of expression then changes from that of reporting to an address:

“Taste the punishment of burning.”

This serves to bring the sight blooming as though it is happening now in front of our eyes. We almost see the fire of hell and how it burns them fiercely.

The unbelievers are severely reproached as they are pushed into it:

“[this is] in return for what your own hands have committed.”

It is all a fitting recompense. You deserve it all on account of what you have done:

“Never does Allah do any injustice to His servants.”

The infliction of suffering and humiliation on the unbelievers is a permanent law that does not change.

The verses 8:50-51 in different translations:

QARIB:

50-If you could see the angels when they carry off the souls of the unbelievers, beating their faces and their backs, saying: ‘taste the punishment of burning!

51-That is for what your hands have forwarded, Allah is not unjust to his worshipers. ‘

SHAKIR:

50-And had you seen when the angels will cause to die those who disbelieve, smiting their faces and their backs, and (saying): taste the punishment of burning

51-This is for what your own hands have sent on before, and because Allah is not in the least unjust to the servants;

PICKTHAL:

50-If thou couldst see how the angels receive those who disbelieve, smiting faces and their backs and (saying): taste the punishment of burning!

51-This is for that which your own hands have sent before (to the judgment), and (know) that Allah is not a tyrant to his slaves.

YUSUFALI:

50-If thou couldst see, when the angels take the souls of the unbelievers (at death), (how) they smite their faces and their backs, (saying): “taste the penalty of the blazing fire-

51-“Because of (the deeds) which your (own) hands sent forth; for Allah is never unjust to his servants:

Atheists in Quran (35) they are hasty

The Atheists try to hasten the punishment against which the Prophet Muhammad warns them. Sarcastically, they say, ‘When will this promise of resurrection and chastisement be fulfilled, if you are truthful O Muhammad?

The Quran says that 1) Man is a creature of haste; he is so hasty in his affairs and 2) Verily, messengers before you O Muhammad were derided but those who mocked them were encircled by the chastisement, which they used to deride; likewise, it shall befall those who have derided you.

———————————

The Arabs at the time of the Prophet Muhammad were one of two:

The unbelievers deny the existence of One God and they used to worship many idols as gods

The Atheists who deny the existence of any god

Both groups deny the Resuscitation, the Day of Judgment and the Afterlife

They deny the very existence of Allah, the Most Merciful, who has created the universe and set the rules that operate in it and sustain its existence.

Herein, a likely dispute is expected.

Allah’s Messenger Muhammad speaks out against their deities, showing such inanimate idols to be useless.

On the other hand, The Atheists and unbelievers rudely deny Allah and they hurl abuse and mockery at Allah’s Messenger, saying that it is unacceptable that he should criticize their idol worship. They find nothing wrong with the arrogance that leads them to

Deny Allah’s existence,

Deny Allah’s Messenger and

Reject Allah’s revelation, the Quran.

The sarcasm of their attitude exposes to the full the far- reaching corruption that affects their nature and impairs their judgment.

Whenever they see you O Muhammad, they take you in derision and pick you out for mockery

What is more stupid of them?

They try to hasten the punishment against which the Prophet warns them.

They say, ‘When will this promise of resurrection and chastisement be fulfilled, if you are truthful O Muhammad?

Man is a creature of haste; he is so hasty in his affairs

Haste is present in man’s very nature and constitution.

He always stretches his eyes to what lies ahead, beyond the present moment, aiming to grasp it with his own hand. He wants to achieve, the moment it flashes in his mind, all that seems desirable. He wants to see all that is promised to him, even though it may be to his damage. Such is man’s nature, unless he establishes a firm relationship with Allah, which gives him strength and reassurance. He will then trust to Allah’s wisdom, leaving His will to run its course without hastening events. For faith combines trust with patience and reassurance.

Those unbelievers hastened Allah’s punishment, wondering when the promise of punishment in the hereafter, as well as in this life, would be fulfilled.

The Quran paints here for them a scene of the suffering in the hereafter, while also warning them against a similar punishment to that which befell earlier communities, which rejected the faith

If the unbelievers only knew what shall happen to them:

They would change their attitude completely.

They would stop their mockery and hastening of what is bound to come.

Let them, then, see what is bound to come.

There, the fire surrounds them on all sides.

Nay, but it, the Resurrection, shall come upon them suddenly, dumbfounding them, confusing them, and they shall not be able to ward it off, nor shall they be granted any respite, [nor shall they] be given any [extra] time to make a repentance or offer an excuse.

We envisage their agitated movements, described implicitly in the verse, to protect their faces and their backs against the fire, but their attempt is useless. It is as if the fire engulfs them on all sides. They can neither keep it away from themselves, nor retreat to seek protection. Nor is even a short respite from it possible.

That the punishment comes suddenly is only the response for their hastening it.

Sarcastically, they used to say time after time:

“When is this promise to be fulfilled, if what you say be true?”

The answer is that it comes suddenly, perplexing their minds and paralyzing their will. Thus, they are unable to think or act. This applies to the punishment in the hereafter.

Moreover, verily messengers before you were derided but those who mocked them were encircled by the chastisement, which they used to deride; likewise, it shall befall those who have derided you.

As for this world’s punishment, it certainly befell communities before them, which ridiculed Allah’s messengers. Just as those communities were unable to ward off a punishment that wiped them out altogether, so these unbelievers are unable to avert their defeat and captivity. They are thus warned not to deride Allah’s Messenger, to avoid the punishment that befalls those who ridicule prophets. Such fate and punishment is bound to come, because it is part of Allah’s law, which will inevitably, take effect, just as the destruction of earlier communities, guilty of the same offence, proves.

The verses 21:36-41in different translations:

QARIB:

36-When the unbelievers see you, they take you only for mockery, saying: ‘is this he who talks about your gods? ‘While they are unbelievers in the remembrance of the merciful.

37-The human was created of haste. Indeed, I will show you my signs; so do not ask me to hasten them.

38-They say: ‘if you are truthful, when will this promise come? ‘

39-If the unbelievers only knew when they will be unable to shield either their faces or their backs from the fire; when they will not be helped!

40-It will overtake them suddenly, dumbfounding them. they shall be unable to ward it off, and they shall not be respited.

41-Before you, other messengers were mocked, but the mockers were encompassed by the very thing they mocked.

SHAKIR:

36-And when those who disbelieve see you, they do not take you but for one to be scoffed at: is this he who speaks of your gods? and they are deniers at the mention of the beneficent Allah

37-Man is created of haste; now will i show to you my signs, therefore do not ask me to hasten (them) on

38-And they say: when will this threat come to pass if you are truthful?

39-Had those who disbelieve but known (of the time) when they shall not be able to ward off the fire from their faces nor from their backs, nor shall they be helped

40-Nay, it shall come on them all of a sudden and cause them to become confounded, so they shall not have the power to avert it, nor shall they be respited

41-And certainly messengers before you were scoffed at, then there befell those of them who scoffed that at which they had scoffed

PICKTHAL:

36-And when those who disbelieve behold thee, they but choose thee out for mockery, (saying): is this he who maketh mention of your gods? and they would deny all mention of the beneficent.

37-Man is made of haste. I shall show you my portents, but ask me not to hasten.

38-And they say: when will this promise (be fulfilled), if ye are truthful?

39-If those who disbelieved but knew the time when they will not be able to drive off the fire from their faces and from their backs, and they will not be helped!

40-Nay, but it will come upon them unawares so that it will stupefy them, and they will be unable to repel it, neither will they be reprieved.

41-Messengers before thee, indeed, were mocked, but that whereat they mocked surrounded those who scoffed at them.

YUSUFALI:

36-When the unbelievers see thee, they treat thee not except with ridicule. “is this,” (they say), “the one who talks of your gods?” and they blaspheme at the mention of (Allah) most gracious!

37-Man is a creature of haste: soon (enough) will i show you my signs; then ye will not ask me to hasten them!

38-They say: “when will this promise come to pass, if ye are telling the truth?”

39-If only the unbelievers knew (the time) when they will not be able to ward off the fire from their faces, nor yet from their backs, and (when) no help can reach them!

40-Nay, it may come to them all of a sudden and confound them: no power will they have then to avert it, nor will they (then) get respite.

41-Mocked were (many) messenger before thee; but their scoffers were hemmed in by the thing that they mocked.

Atheists in Quran (16) they mocked Muhammad

The Quran talked about the Atheists’ mockery they hurled at the Prophet Muhammad. The Quran says, “If they knew of the time when they shall not be able to ward off the Fire from their faces, nor from their backs and none shall protect them from it at the Resurrection”.

———————————

Do Not Overlook this Warning

The verses 21:38-41 describe how the Atheists deal with Muhammad

The verses talk about

  • The way the unbelievers received Allah’s Messenger and the revelations he was given.
  • The mockery they hurled at him and
  • Their persistent disbelief.

The verses follow this by pointing out that, by nature, man is hasty.

One manifestation of this haste is the unbelievers’ attempts to hasten Allah’s punishment.

Hence, it warns them against such haste and makes it clear to them that they must refrain from mocking the Prophet Muhammad if they wish to avoid the consequences of such unwarranted behavior. That is the persistent suffering of the unbelievers in the hereafter.

The verses talk about the accuracy of the reckoning in the hereafter and the suitability of the reward given on the Day of Judgment.

Thus, the reckoning and the reward are linked to the rules operating in the universe, human nature and human life.

What is more, they try to hasten the punishment against which the Prophet warns them.

For, by nature, man is hasty:

“Man is a creature of haste.”

Haste is present in man’s very nature and constitution.

Man always stretches his eyes to what lies ahead, beyond the present moment, aiming to grasp it with his own hand.

Man wants to achieve, the moment it flashes in his mind, all that seems desirable. He wants to see all that is promised to him, even though it may be to his detriment.

Such is man’s nature, unless he establishes a firm relationship with Allah, which gives him strength and reassurance. He will then trust to Allah’s wisdom, leaving His will to run its course without hastening events. For faith combines trust with patience and reassurance.

Those Atheists hastened Allah’s punishment, wondering when the promise of punishment in the hereafter, as well as in this life, would be fulfilled.

The Quran describes here for them a scene of the suffering in the hereafter, while also warning them against a similar punishment to that which befell earlier communities that rejected the faith “If only the unbelievers knew [that there will come]

  • A time when they will not be able to shield their faces and their backs from the fire;
  • A time when they will find no support.

Indeed, it will come upon them all of a sudden, and will stupefy them.

They will be unable to avert it, nor will they be allowed any respite.

Other messengers were derided before your time; but those who scoffed at them were [in the end] overwhelmed by the very thing that they derided.”

(Verses 39-41)

If the Atheists only knew what will happen to them, they would change their attitude completely.

They would stop their mockery and hastening of what is bound to come.

Let them, then, see what is bound to come. Therein, the fire surrounds them on all sides.

Imagine their frantic movements, described implicitly in the verse, to protect their faces and their backs against the fire, but their attempt is futile. It is as if the fire engulfs them on all sides. They can neither keep it away from themselves, nor retreat to seek protection. Nor is even a short respite from it possible.

That the punishment comes suddenly is only the response for their hastening it.

They used to say time after time:

“When is this promise to be fulfilled, if what you say be true?” (Verse 38)

The answer is that it comes suddenly, perplexing their minds andparalyzing their will. Thus, they are unable to think or act, let alone enjoy a period ofgrace to mend their ways.

This applies to the punishment in the hereafter. As for this world’s punishment, it certainly befell communities before them, which ridiculed Allah’s messengers. Just like those communities were unable to ward off a punishment that wiped them out altogether, so these Atheists are unable to avert their defeat and captivity. They are thus warned not to deride Allah’s Messenger, so as to avoid the punishment that befalls those who ridicule prophets. Such fate and punishment is bound to come, because it is part of Allah’s law which will inevitably take effect, just as the destruction of earlier communities, guilty of the same offence, proves.

Angels in Islam (23) every man will see them-B

Upon their death, the unbelievers will see the Angels while they are angrily smiting their faces and their backs with iron skewers.

Upon their death, the believers will see the Angels while they are smiling and saying to them: ‘Peace be on you!

———————————————

In the previous article (22), the unbelievers wanted to see the Angels face to face.

The Quran says unto them: Do not worry, you will see them for sure BUT!

But, when you see them, you will blame yourself.

The meanings of the verses 47:27-28:

Then how will it be, their predicament, when the Angels knock their faces and their backs with hooked iron rods.

Upon their death, when the Angels take away their souls, they are angrily smiting their faces and their backs with iron skewers!

That, is because they followed what angers Allah, and because they were averse to what pleases Him. Therefore Allah has made their works fail.

That smiting and punishment will be because they did not followed Allah’ Straight Path and they followed Satan’s footsteps.

They denied Allah’s divine Oneness.

Therefore He has made their actions vain

Allah annulled the good actions which they performed in the life of this world

It is said that this verse revealed about the Jews which know that Muhammad is the last Prophet but they denied him (Also the Jews denied Jesus and still they do).

 

On the other hand, the verse 16:32 talks about the eventual event of the believers when they see the Angels, it says:

For those who are good, pure of any unbelief and from associating any partners with Allah, the Angels will smilingly say to them upon death: ‘Peace be on you!

And the Angels will say to them in the Hereafter: Enter Paradise because of your faith and because of what you you have done in your life..

———————————————

The verses 47:27-28 indifferent translations:

QARIB:

27-How shall it be when the Angels (of death) take them and beat them on their face and back?

28-That is because they follow what angers Allah and hate his pleasure, therefore he has annulled their deeds.

SHAKIR:

27-But how will it be when the Angels cause them to die smiting their backs

28-That is because they follow what is displeasing to Allah and are averse to his pleasure, therefore he has made null their deeds

PICKTHAL:

27-Then how (will it be with them) when the Angels gather them, smiting their faces and their backs!

28-That will be because they followed that which angereth Allah, and hated that which pleaseth him. Therefor he hath made their actions vain.

YUSUFALI:

27-But how (will it be) when the Angels take their souls at death, and smite their faces and their backs?

28-This because they followed that which called forth the wrath of Allah, and they hated Allah’s good pleasure; so he made their deeds of no effect.

 

The verses 16:32 in different translations:

QARIB:

Whom the Angels take while they are goodly, saying: ‘peace be on you. Enter paradise for what you were doing. ‘

SHAKIR:

Those whom the Angels cause to die in a good state, saying: peace be on you: enter the garden for what you did

PICKTHAL:

Those whom the Angels cause to die (when they are) good. They say: peace be unto you! Enter the garden because of what ye used to do.

YUSUFALI:

(Namely) those whose lives the Angels take in a state of purity, saying (to them), “peace be on you; enter ye the garden, because of (the good) which ye did (in the world).”

This is Allah (49) Allah Has Brought you a clear Book; Have you read it?

Is the Quran a Book of Mercy, How and for Who?

When the Disbelievers Hope to Return Back to the Life of this World Again?

The Disbelievers are Waiting the Day of Judgment; when it Comes it will be Too Late

Who Have Lost their Souls by Missing Paradise and Abiding in Eternal Fire?

————————————————————

This series is an attempt to help you to know Allah your Creator.

Verses 7:52-53 of the Noble Quran talk about:

1) This is Allah (42) Allah Has Brought man a clear Book; Has he read it?

2) Is the Quran a Book of Mercy, How and for Who?

3) When the Disbelievers Hope to Return Back to the Life of this World Again?

4) The Disbelievers are waiting the Day of Judgment; when it comes it will be too late, and

5) Who Have Lost their Souls by Missing Paradise and Abiding in Eternal Fire?

————————————————————

In the previous articles, Allah describes the outcome of the believers versus the disbelievers.  Also, Allah illustrates the fate of the Men of the Heights who are not yet in Paradise or Hell; those whose Good Deeds and Evil Deeds are equal, What is their Hope and What they Say when they Look at the Dwellers of the Fire in the Hereafter.  Nevertheless, Those who disbelieve in Allah, Muhammad, the Noble Quran, the Angels and/or the Day of Judgment will end up in the Eternal Fire.  Have not they got Allah’s message to mankind through His Noble Book?

————————————————————

The meaning of verse 7:52

And indeed Allah has sent them, that is, the disbelievers,  Muhammad and brought them a Book, the Quran, which Allah has detailed, which Allah has made clear through tidings and the Promise of reward and the Threat of punishment, with Allah has brought them the Quran with knowledge, a guidance and a mercy from torment for a people who believe in Muhammad and the Quran.

However, the disbelievers are suspicious!

The meaning of verse 7:53

Are the disbelievers waiting? they are not waiting for anything but its fulfillment, the consequences of what is in it? In other words, what do the disbelievers wait for when they have refused to believe aught save the fulfillment thereof the consequence of what Allah has promised them in the Quran? On the day which is the Day of Judgment.

On the day when its fulfillment comes, which will be on the Day of Judgment, those who were forgetful of it before, those who neglected to believe in it, shall say, ‘Indeed, our Lord’s messengers came with the truth, with the exposition of the resurrection, Paradise and hell but we denied all.  Have we then any intercessors, that they may intercede for us to avoid the torment? Or shall we be returned, to the world, that we may act otherwise than we used to act?’, and instead affirm Allah’s Oneness and refrain from associating others with Him.

It will then be said to them, ‘No!’ Allah, exalted be He, says: Verily they have lost their souls by missing Paradise and abiding in hell,  for they have ended up in perdition, and that which they used to invent, in alleging that Allah has a partner, has a son, has failed, has abandoned, them.

————————————————————

Verses 7: 7:52-53in different English translations of the meanings of Arabic Quran:

QARIB:

52) We have brought to them a book which we have made plain based upon knowledge, a guidance and a mercy to believers.

53) Are they waiting but for its fulfillment? on the day when it is realized, those who have forgotten it will say: ‘the messengers of our Lord have surely come with the truth. have we then any intercessors to intercede for us, or shall we be returned to do other than that we have done? ‘ they have lost their souls, and that which they invented will have gone astray from them.

SHAKIR:

52) And certainly we have brought them a book which we have made clear with knowledge, a guidance and a mercy for a people who believe

53) Do they wait for aught but its final sequel? on the day when its final sequel comes about, those who neglected it before will say: indeed the messengers of our Lord brought the truth; are there for us then any intercessors so that they should intercede on our behalf? or could we be sent back so that we should do (deeds) other than those which we did? indeed they have lost their souls and that which they forged has gone away from them

PICKTHAL:

52) Verily we have brought them a scripture which we expounded with knowledge, guidance and a mercy for a people who believe.

53) Await they aught save the fulfillment thereof? on the day when the fulfillment thereof cometh, those who were before forgetful thereof will say: the messengers of our Lord did bring the truth! have we any intercessors, that they may intercede for us? or can we be returned (to life on earth), that we may act otherwise than we used to act? They have lost their souls, and that which they devised hath failed them.

YUSUFALI:

52) For we had certainly sent unto them a book, based on knowledge, which we explained in detail,- a guide and a mercy to all who believe.

53) do they just wait for the final fulfillment of the event? on the day the event is finally fulfilled, those who disregarded it before will say: “the messengers of our Lord did indeed bring true (tidings). have we no intercessors now to intercede on our behalf? or could we be sent back? then should we behave differently from our behavior in the past.” in fact they will have lost their souls, and the things they invented will leave them in the lurch.

Chapter 6 of the Quran (20) They Do Not Belie but Deny

It is well known that Muhammad lived for 40 years before his prophethood among the people of Mecca who know him very well. They all used to respect him very much and they used to call him the truthful, the honest. The Idolators of Mecca do not belied him but they denied the Quran!

————————————————————————————-

 

The Historical background of Ayah 6:31 says:

 

It is well known that Muhammad lived for 40 years before his prophethood among the people of Mecca who know him, his family and his tribe very well. They all used to respect him very much and they used to call him the truthful, the honest, the sincerely faithful; He never ever lied.

 

The characters of the events happened before revealation of the verse:

1) Abu “Jahl” ibn Hisham, “Abu” means the father of and “Jahl” means ignorance. Abu Jahl was one of the famous enemies of the Prophet Muhammad. He was one of the leaders of the idolators of Mecca.

2) al-Harith ibn Amir; he was one of the chief idolators of Mecca.

 

What Abu Jahl said about Muhammad?

A man said to Abu Jahl: O ibn Hisham. tell me about Muhammad, for there is one here with us who wants to hear what you say: is he truthful or a liar?’

Abu Jahl said: ‘By Allah, Muhammad is truthful. Muhammad has never lied. But if his family take the office of keepers of the banner, giving water to the pilgrims, gatekeeper of the House (Kaabah), the Nadwah ( like the senate nowadays) and prophethood, what else remains for the rest of our tribe?’

 

 One day, the Prophet Muhammad passed by Abu Jahl and his companions, and they asked him: ‘O Muhammad, by Allah, we do not give you the lie, for we consider you truthful. What we deny is that which you have brought’.

 

What al-Harith ibn Amir said about Muhammad?

al-Harith used to give the lie openly to the Prophet, but when he retired to his family, he would say:

‘Muhammad is not of those who lie, and I think he is truthful’.

And so Allah, exalted is He, revealed the verse 6:33.

Allah knows indeed that it grieves you O Muhammad that, matter, which they say, to you, in denial.

Allah knows well how their talk, their sland er, denial and demand for proofs grieve you O Muhammad.

However, they know that you were truthful and honest.

Truth wise, they do not refute you but the evil-doers flout, scorn, and defy the revelations of Allah; that is the Quran.

 

—————————————————

 

The verse 6:33 in different translations

 

QARIB:

33) we know what they say saddens you. it is not you that they belie; but the harmdoers deny the verses of Allah.

 

SHAKIR:

33) we know indeed that what they say certainly grieves you, but surely they do not call you a liar; but the unjust deny the communications of Allah

 

PICKTHAL:

33) we know well how their talk grieveth thee, though in truth they deny not thee (muhammad) but evil-doers flout the revelations of Allah.

 

YUSUFALI:

33) we know indeed the grief which their words do cause thee: it is not thee they reject: it is the signs of Allah, which the wicked contemn.

Chapter 50 of the Quran (15) the Happiest Event in Paradise

In the previous article, Allah-fearing servants will see with joy their eventual dwelling that is the Eternal garden, the Paradise.

Now, the Paradise is not far anymore from them.

This is what they were promised in the life of the world.

 

The verse 50:34 says:

Then, It will be said to them ‘Enter it in peace!

That is to say, be secure from every fear.

Today, you do not have to fear from Allah’s chastisement

Today, you do not have to fear from hunger

Today, you do not have to fear from thirst

Today, you do not have to fear from any disease

Today, you do not have to fear from ageing

Today, you do not have to fear from death

Today is the day of immortality, the day when the dwellers of Paradise will enter it to abide therein for eternity.

Today, is the day of everlastingness in Paradise

 

O believers, O dwellers in Paradise! What do you want herein?

 

The verse 50:35 says:

 

Do you want food? You will have whatever you wish of any kind of food; and with Allah there is yet more as extra for what you will request.

 

Do you want soft drinks? You will have whatever you wish of any kind of drinks; and with Allah there is yet more as extra for what you will request.

 

Do you want servants to serve you? You will have whatever you wish of servants; and with Allah there is yet more as extra for what you will request.

 

Do you want amusements? You will have whatever you wish of any kind of amusements ; and with Allah there is yet more as extra for what you will request.

 

In conclusion:

There, in Paradise, the dwellers have all that they want, and there is more with Allah.

And it is said that this means: in every hour and in every day, they have with Allah an increase in honor and reward.

Regardless of all of that, the happiest and thrilled event in Paradise is beholding Allah’s Countenance; and this is another story.

I (the author) wish to be one of the attendances of this Cheeriest Event!
