Qaaf (The letter Qaaf)
Verse 34 - 35
Table of Contents
34. [It shall be said unto them:] “Enter you therein in peace and security - this is a Day of eternal life [for you]!”
35. There, they will have all that they desire - and [for them] We have more [than what they desire].
Four virtues were enumerated for the God fearing in the preceding blessed Verses: repentance, preservation of one’s self and Divine bounds, Fear of God Almighty, repentant heart. Four attributes are enumerated in these two blessed Verses: security, peace, eternal life, and enjoyment of Divine Bounties. Mundane Bounties involve blights whose likes are not to be found in Paradise:
1. They involve pain and hardship, but nothing like them exist in Paradise;
(“peace and security”).
2. They are transient whereas Paradise is eternal;
(“Day of eternal life”).
3. Worldly Bounties are limited in range, but whatever one desires is to be found in Paradise;
(“There, they will have all that they desire”).
4. Mundane Bounties come to an end, but those in Paradise are on the increase;
(“We have more [than what they desire]”).
It is worthy of note that the twain blessed Verses in question are addressed to those who possess the attributes enumerated in the preceding Verses. The God fearing will be admitted to Paradise as the abode of Divine Grace, peace, and security warding them from whatever sounds unpleasant to them. Paradise shall be everlasting abode of the God fearing therein they shall be safe from any peril.
“There, they will have all that they desire,”
since they represent Divine Attributes including Creativity, namely the people of Paradise represent Divine Creativity and they will have whatever they desire.
“And [for them] We have more [than what they desire]”
may reflect that there will be in store for those doing righteous good deeds what is neither seen, nor heard, nor occurred to anyone.
