Tafsir Commentary
Truly the God-fearing will be amid gardens and bliss
Surely the godwary will be in gardens and bliss, rejoicing in what their Lord has given them. These verses demand hope. The Lord of the worlds has them follow one after another so that the servant will constantly travel between hope and fear. Hope and fear are each other's mates. When they come together, the beauty of faith's realities shows its face. Any traveling that is empty of these two meanings will result either in security or in despair, and these two are attributes of the unbelievers. This is because one feels secure from the incapable, and to believe that God is incapable is unbelief. One despairs of the base, and to believe that there is baseness in God is associationism. Also, one must not simply fear punishment, nor must one simply hope and wait for mercy. This will become clear to you with an example: When a lamp has no oil, it gives no light. When it has oil but no fire, it gives no illumination. When there are oil and fire but no wick to sacrifice its being, it is not complete. Thus fear is like fire, hope like oil, faith like a wick, and the heart like a lamp-holder. If there is only fear, this is like a lamp that has no oil. If there is only hope, this is like a lamp that has oil but no fire. When fear and hope come together, the result is a lamp that has both the oil to aid subsistence and the fire to give the material of illumination. Thus faith takes help from both, one for subsistence and one for illumination. The person of faith travels on the road with the escort of illumination and walks with the escort of subsistence.

إن المتقين في جنات ونعيم عظيم، يتفكهون بما آتاهم الله من النعيم من أصناف الملاذِّ المختلفة، ونجَّاهم الله من عذاب النار.
أخبر الله تعالى عن حال السعداء فقال "إن المتقين في جنات ونعيم" وذلك بضد ما أولئك فيه من العذاب والنكال.
وكعادة القرآن الكريم فى المقارنة بين سوء عاقبة المكذبين ، وحسن عاقبة المؤمنين ، جاء الحديث عن المتقين ، بعد الحديث عن الكافرين ، فقال - تعالى - : ( إِنَّ المتقين . . . ) .المعنى : ( إِنَّ المتقين ) الذين صانوا أنفسهم عن كل ما نهى الله - تعالى - عنه .( فِي جَنَّاتٍ ) عظيمة وفى ( وَنَعِيمٍ ) دائم لا ينقطع .
القول في تأويل قوله تعالى : إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَنَعِيمٍ (17)يقول تعالى ذكره: إن الذين اتقوا الله بأداء فرائضه, واجتناب معاصيه في جنات: يقول في بساتين ونعيم فيها, وذلك في الآخرة.
" إن المتقين في جنات ونعيم "
إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَنَعِيمٍ (17(استئناف بياني بعد أن ذكر حال المكذبين وما يقال لهم ، فمن شأن السامع أن يتساءل عن حال أضدادهم وهم الفريق الذين صدقوا الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم فيما جاء به القرآن وخاصة إذ كان السامعون المؤمنين وعادة القرآن تعقيب الإِنذار بالتبشير وعكسه ، والجملة معترضة بين ما قبلها وجملة { أم يقولون شاعر } [ الطور : 30 ] .وتأكيد الخبر ب ( إن ( للاهتمام به وتنكير { جنات ونعيم } لتعظيم ، أي في أيَّة جنات وأيّ نعيم .وجمع { جنات } تقدم في سورة الذاريات .
لما ذكر تعالى عقوبة المكذبين، ذكر نعيم المتقين، ليجمع بين الترغيب والترهيب، فتكون القلوب بين الخوف والرجاء، فقال: { إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ } لربهم، الذين اتقوا سخطه وعذابه، بفعل أسبابه من امتثال الأوامر واجتناب النواهي.{ فِي جَنَّاتِ } أي: بساتين، قد اكتست رياضها من الأشجار الملتفة، والأنهار المتدفقة، والقصور المحدقة، والمنازل المزخرفة، { وَنَعِيمٍ } [وهذا] شامل لنعيم القلب والروح والبدن
لما ذكر حال الكفار ذكر حال المؤمنين أيضا
The worst crime on the part of man is denial of Truth. And this is a crime which gives birth to other crimes. Similarly, the greatest virtue of man is his acceptance of Truth. All other virtues come into existence as a result of this. By accepting the truth, man’s sense of his own greatness or prestige is impaired. So such acceptance is the most difficult task for a man. Only those who have become truely serious out of extreme fear of God can undertake it. Those who prove to have this very great virtue deserve to have the doors to the eternal blessings of Paradise thrown open to them.
يَوْمَ تَمُورُ السَّمَاءُ مَوْرًا (...the Day when the sky will tremble, a horrible trembling, ...52:9) The lexicographical denotation of the word mawr is violent shaking, or movement caused by unrest. This verse describes the violent movement of the heavens on the Day of Resurrection.
Allah then showed the abode of the believers, Abu Bakr and his fellow believers, saying: (Lo! those who kept their duty) those who ward off disbelief, idolatry and indecencies (dwell in Gardens and delight) eternally,
Description of the Destination of the Happy
Allah the Exalted described the destination of the happy ones,
إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّـتٍ وَنَعِيمٍ
(Verily, those who have Taqwa will be in Gardens and Delight.) in contrast to the torment and punishment of the miserable;
فَـكِهِينَ بِمَآ ءَاتَـهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ
(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,
وَوَقَـهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ عَذَابَ الْجَحِيمِ
(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,
كُلُواْ وَاشْرَبُواْ هَنِيئَاً بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
("Eat and drink with happiness because of what you used to do") is similar to another of His statements,
كُلُواْ وَاشْرَبُواْ هَنِيئَاً بِمَآ أَسْلَفْتُمْ فِى الاٌّيَّامِ الْخَالِيَةِ
(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,
مُتَّكِئِينَ عَلَى سُرُرٍ مَّصْفُوفَةٍ
(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,
عَلَى سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَـبِلِينَ
(Facing one another on thrones.)(37:44) Allah said next,
وَزَوَّجْنَـهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍ
(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.
