Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 18 Al-Kahf, Ayat 31-31
اُولٰۤـئِكَ لَهُمۡ جَنّٰتُ عَدۡنٍ تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهِمُ الۡاَنۡهٰرُ يُحَلَّوۡنَ فِيۡهَا مِنۡ اَسَاوِرَ مِنۡ ذَهَبٍ وَّ يَلۡبَسُوۡنَ ثِيَابًا خُضۡرًا مِّنۡ سُنۡدُسٍ وَّاِسۡتَبۡرَقٍ مُّتَّكِـئِيۡنَ فِيۡهَا عَلَى الۡاَرَآئِكِؕ نِعۡمَ الثَّوَابُ ؕ وَحَسُنَتۡ مُرۡتَفَقًا
﴿18:31﴾
(18:31) They shall dwell in the Gardens of Eternity, beneath which streams
flow. There they will be adorned with bracelets of gold,34 will be
arrayed in green garments of silk and rich brocade, and will recline on raised
couches.35 How excellent is their reward, and how nice their resting-place!"
Notes
34. The dwellers of Paradise will be adorned with bracelets of gold like the
kings of ancient times. This will be to show that they will be adorned like
the kings of this world, whereas an unbeliever and wicked king will be disgraced
there.
35. The Arabic word araaik is plural of arikah which is that kind of throne
that is covered with an umbrella. This is also to show that in Paradise the
believers will sit on thrones like the kings of this world.
