Indeed, for the righteous is success (Surah Naba' 78: 31-33)

Indeed, for the righteous is success - (Surah Naba' 78: 31-33)

Imagine you've just won.. you've got the Ultimate prize, the ultimate success. What is it?

Gardens and grapevines

You look around you, and there's beautiful scenery and tasty food everywhere. Whatever you want, you can take and eat without worry or fear.

And full-breasted [companions] of equal age

Even though this is a wife you have in Paradise, her physical description is emphasised more. Beautiful, and a similar age to you. Just right.  

 

Have you ever wondered why the Western media depicts men sitting on thrones and a beautiful women giving him grapes in his mouth? It's because they are copying of the beautiful description of Jannah described in the Qur'an.

So next time you see the description of Paradise in the Qur'an, imagine the whole scene being described and imagine being there. O Allah,  make us the people of your Jannah, ameen!

“Loving (their husbands only), (and) of equal age” [Quran - al-Waaqi‘ah 56:37]

قال الشيخ عبد الرحمن السعدي – رحمه الله - : " ( عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًا ) ملازم لهن في كل حال ، والعروب : هي المرأة المتحببة إلى بعلها بحسن لفظها ، وحسن هيئتها ودلالها وجمالها ومحبتها ، فهي التي إن تكلمت سبت العقول وود السامع أن كلامها لا ينقضي ، خصوصاً عند غنائهن بتلك الأصوات الرخيمة والنغمات المطربة ، وإن نظر إلى أدبها وسمتها ودَلِّها : ملأت قلب بعلها فرحاً وسروراً ، وإن برزت من محل إلى آخر : امتلأ ذلك الموضع منها ريحاً طيباً ونوراً ، ويدخل في ذلك الغنجة عند الجماع .
والأتراب اللاتي على سن واحدة ، ثلاث وثلاثين سنة ، التي هي غاية ما يتمنى ونهاية سن الشباب ، فنساؤهم عرب أتراب ، متفقات مؤتلفات ، راضيات مرضيات ، لا يَحزن ولا يُحزن ، بل هن أفراح النفوس ، وقرة العيون ، وجلاء الأبصار " . انتهى من " تفسير السعدي " ( ص 833 ) .


Shaykh ‘Abd al-Rahmaan al-Sa‘di (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

“Loving (their husbands only), (and) of equal age” [Quran - al-Waaqi‘ah 56:37] means they will always be like that, in all circumstances. ‘Uroob (translated here as loving) refers to the wife who is loving towards her husband and speaks nicely to him, and looks nice, and is beautiful and kind. She is the one who if she speaks, her speech causes infatuation and the one who hears her wishes that her words will never end, especially when she sings in that sweet voice; and if he looks at her manners, appearance and gentleness, she will fill her husband’s heart with joy and happiness; and if she moves from one place to another, that place is filled with a beautiful fragrance and light. That also includes flirting during intimacy.

“of equal age” means those who are of the same age, thirty-three years old, which is the peak of growth and the end of the years of youth. So their wives will be “Loving (their husbands only), (and) of equal age”, living together in harmony, pleased and pleasing; they will not grieve or cause grief; rather they will be joyful and delightful.
