Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 21 Al-Anbya, Ayat 101-103
اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ سَبَقَتۡ لَهُمۡ مِّنَّا الۡحُسۡنٰٓىۙ اُولٰٓـئِكَ عَنۡهَا مُبۡعَدُوۡنَۙ
﴿21:101﴾
لَا يَسۡمَعُوۡنَ حَسِيۡسَهَا ۚ وَهُمۡ فِىۡ مَا اشۡتَهَتۡ اَنۡفُسُهُمۡ خٰلِدُوۡنَ ۚ
﴿21:102﴾
لَا يَحۡزُنُهُمُ الۡـفَزَعُ الۡاَكۡبَرُ وَتَتَلَقّٰٮهُمُ الۡمَلٰٓـئِكَةُ ؕ هٰذَا يَوۡمُكُمُ الَّذِىۡ كُنۡـتُمۡ تُوۡعَدُوۡنَ
﴿21:103﴾
(21:101) But for those whom We had decided to favour with good reward, they
shall be kept far removed from Hell.97 (21:102) They shall not hear even a whisper of it, and they shall live for
ever in the delights which they had desired. (21:103) The Hour of the Great Terror shall not grieve them,98
and the angels shall receive them saying: "This is your Day which you had been
promised."
Notes
97. These will be the people who practiced virtue and righteousness in this
world. Allah has already promised that they will be kept safe from the torture
and will be granted salvation.
98. That is, the time of mustering and going before Allah will be very dreadful
for the common people but the righteous people will have full peace of mind
because everything will be happening according to their expectations. Their
faith and the righteous deeds they did in the world, will help console them
by the grace of Allah and, instead of grief and sorrow, they will be filled
with the hope that they are going to get their promised rewards.
