Surah At-Tur 52:17

Description of the Destination of the Happy

Allah the Exalted described the destination of the happy ones,

(Verily, those who have Taqwa will be in Gardens and Delight.) in contrast to the torment and punishment of the miserable;

(Enjoying in that which their Lord has bestowed on them,) meaning, enjoying the various types of delight that Allah has granted them therein, such as various types of foods, drinks, clothes, dwelling places, mounts, and so forth,

(and (the fact that) their Lord saved them from the torment of the blazing Fire.) He saved them from the torment of the Fire, which is a bounty itself. Added to this blessing is the fact that they were entered into Paradise, which has delights that no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard, nor has a heart ever imagined. The statement of Allah the Exalted,

("Eat and drink with happiness because of what you used to do") is similar to another of His statements,

(Eat and drink at ease for that which you have sent on before you in days past!)(69:24) meaning this is the just reward for your deeds; surely, all this is a favor from Allah and a reward from Him. Allah the Exalted said,

(They will recline (with ease) on thrones Masfufah.) Ath-Thawri reported from Husayn, from Mujahid, from Ibn `Abbas: "Thrones in howdahs." And the meaning of, (Masfufah) is they will be facing each other,

(Facing one another on thrones.)(37:44) Allah said next,

(And We shall marry them to Hur (fair females) with wide lovely eyes.) We made for them righteous spouses, beautiful wives from Al-Hur Al-`Ayn. We mentioned the description of Al-Hur Al-`Ayn in several other places in this Tafsir, and therefore, it is not necessary to repeat their description here.

Dalam ayat ini Allah menerangkan bahwa orang-orang yang takut akan murka Tuhannya, mereka melaksanakan ibadah kepadaNya baik dengan terang-terangan atau tidak, memenuhi kewajibankewajibannya terhadap Tuhan, dan menjalankan peraturanperaturan agama, tidak mengerjakan suatu perbuatan maksiat yakni tidak menodai dirinya dengan dosa dan tidak menodai jiwanya dengan kemunafikan. Kepada mereka Tuhan memberikan balasan surga, di dalamnya mereka bersenang-senang. Mereka mendapat apa yang belum pernah mereka lihat, belum pernah mereka dengar, dan belum pernah diterangkan oleh seorang manusia pun. Semuanya itu sebagai balasan atas perbuatan baik mereka selama hidup di dunia. Mereka menjauhi kemewahan duniawi yang membuat lalai pada ibadah serta bersabar atas cobaan-cobaan yang menimpa mereka dengan harapan agar mendapat rida Allah. (
