Verse 25 - 26

Table of Contents

    25. No vain talk shall they hear therein, nor any sinful speech.

    26. But only the saying of peace, peace!

    The Arabic word laghw denotes vain talk and ta’thim is applied to ascribing committing of sin to others. There shall be no psychological pain in Paradise. Mundane pleasures usually entail vain talk and committing sins, but it is different in Paradise since it is the abode of peace and serenity.

    Vain talk and sin may not penetrate a peaceful and serene community. The people of Paradise shall not hear anything but the sayings of Peace by God Almighty, the angels nearest unto Him, and the salutations and greetings exchanged amongst them.

    They shall attend sessions brimming with enthusiasm, friendship, love, and purity.

    Paradise is the Abode of Peace, Serenity, and Security:

    ("For them shall be the Home of Peace with their Lord. And He shall be their Protector and Helper because of what they used to do,")1 .
