Tafsir al-Jalalayn — al-A’la 87:17
whereas the Hereafter and the Paradise it entails is better and more lasting.
whereas the Hereafter and the Paradise it entails is better and more lasting.
Truly this the success of those who purify themselves and the Hereafter being better is in the former scrolls the ones revealed before the Qur’ān
the scrolls of Abraham and Moses the ten scrolls of Abraham and the Torah of Moses.
He who fears God exalted be He will be reminded by it as in the verse So admonish by the Qur’ān him who fears My threat Q. 5045;
but the wretched one al-ashqā means al-shaqī that is to say the disbeliever will shun it that is the reminder in other words he will leave it aside not looking at it
he who will be roasted in the greater Fire the Fire of the Hereafter the lesser fire being that of this world;
then he will neither die therein and find rest nor live a enjoyable life.
Successful winner indeed is he who purifies himself who cleanses himself by means of his adherence to faith
and mentions the Name of his Lord saying Allāhu akbar ‘God is Great’ and prays the five prayers — and such are the concerns of one working towards the Hereafter concerns which the Meccan disbelievers shun.
Nay but you prefer or read yu’thirūna ‘they prefer’ the life of this world to the Hereafter
