Surah Ya-Sin 36:58

The Life of the People of Paradise

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:

(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."

(They and their wives) Mujahid said, "Their spouses,

(will be in pleasant shade,) means, in the shade of trees."

(reclining on thrones.) Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Muhammad bin Ka`b, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, As-Suddi and Khusayf said:

(throne) means beds beneath canopies.

(They will have therein fruits) means, of all kinds.

(and all that they ask for.) means, whatever they ask for, they will find it, all kinds and types.

("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:

(Their greeting on the Day they shall meet Him will be "Salam") (33:44).

Yang mereka inginkan itu ialah salam dari Allah yang disampaikan kepada mereka untuk memuliakan mereka. Salam ini langsung disampaikan Allah atau mungkin dengan perantaraan malaikat, seperti firman Allah: a¢â‚¬Â¦sedang para malaikat masuk ke tempat-tempat mereka dari semua pintu; (sambil mengucapkan), "Selamat sejahtera atasmu karena kesabaranmu." Maka alangkah nikmatnya tempat kesudahan itu. (ar-Ra'd/13: 23-24) Salam berarti selamat dan sejahtera, terpelihara dari segala yang tidak disenangi memperoleh semua yang diingini sehingga orang itu memperoleh kenikmatan jasmani dan rohani yang tiada bandingannya.
