The reward for the obedient (L-2810)

وَٱذْكُرْ إِسْمَٰعِيلَ وَٱلْيَسَعَ وَذَا ٱلْكِفْلِ وَكُلٌّ مِّنَ ٱلْأَخْيَارِ 48   هَٰذَا ذِكْرٌ وَإِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ لَحُسْنَ مَـَٔابٍ 49   جَنَّٰتِ عَدْنٍ مُّفَتَّحَةً لَّهُمُ ٱلْأَبْوَٰبُ 50   مُتَّكِـِٔينَ فِيهَا يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِفَٰكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَشَرَابٍ 51   وَعِندَهُمْ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ أَتْرَابٌ 52

48.  Wazkur ‘Ismaa-‘iila  wal-Yasa-‘a  wa  Zal-Kifl.  Wa  Kullum-minal-‘Akhyaar. 49.  Haazaa  Zikr.  Wa  ‘inna  lil-Muttaqiina  la-husna  ma-‘aan. 50.  Jannaati  ‘Adnim-mufat-tahatal-lahumul-  ‘abwaab. 51.  Muttaki-‘iina  fiihaa  yad-‘uuna  fiihaa  bifaakiharin-  kasiiratinw-wa  sharaab. 52.  Wa  ‘indahum  qaasiraatut-tarfi  ‘atraab.

48. And mention Ishmael, Elisha, and Ezekiel; all are among the outstanding. 49. This is a reminder. The devout will have a good place of return. 50. The Gardens of Eden, with their doors wide-open for them. 51. Relaxing therein, and calling for abundant fruit and beverage. 52. With them will be attendants with modest gaze, of same age.

It is commanded: Remember also from the old Prophets, Ishmael, Elisha and Dhu-‘l-Kifl (Peace be upon them). All of them are among the outstanding. Mention of Ishmael and Elisha has passed in Suratul-‘An-‘aam and Dhu-‘l-Kifl was mentioned in Suratul-‘Ambiaa.

After that, it is commanded: Remember their circumstances. They entire were Prophets (Peace be upon them), and certainly by remembering their circumstances, we will be able after all to understand good attributes, and love of adopting good manners will increase.

Next, hear the circumstances of those who followed the Prophets (Peace be upon them) and bowed down before God Almighty. Due to having fear of His torment they refrained from wicked deeds. Such people are called pious. There are good abodes ready for their dwelling, which are palaces constructed in the Gardens, doors of which will be opened on the Day of Resurrection. After knowing about their individual abodes, they will enter into them unhesitatingly and without any resistance. Pillows on coaches will be set and ready. Reclining within them, they will call therein for abundant fruit and drink, which will be produced before them without any delay. And with them will be women limiting their glances and of equal age. https://youtu.be/cfMQAHCokVY
