الآية رقم (7) - فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ

(7) - (He will be in a pleasant life. (7))

رَّاضِيَةٍ (pleasant): The Arabic word means to be satisfied, and linguistically and traditionally, it is well known that satisfaction is a description of people since they have brain and will. But Allah (swt) did not use the common expression of human language, rather, He (swt) used an expression that is suitable to His eloquent words and His great favours and blessings upon us. Giving preponderance to the Quranic miraculous expressions over the humans’ expressions is noticeable. As people in this worldly life like comfort and reasons of happiness, but they are worried about losing them so they do not enjoy them. This feeling makes the Man lives the moments of present happiness, at the same time, he is worried about the future and afraid that this state will last or not.

As if Allah (swt) is saying to us that this feeling that worries the enjoyed person in this life does not exist in the hereafter, that is because the pleasure of the hereafter is connected with you, cannot disconnect and leave you, it is utilized to accompany you and live with you forever, as if it is satisfied so it does not like to separate from what it likes, so, do not worry, the pleasure of Paradise is continuous, does not end.

When Imam Ali (may Allah honour his face) read this verse:

 ﴾فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا مُنظَرِينَ ٰ﴿

 (And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.) (Ad-Dukhan: 29)

He said: Yes, it cries and rejoices. As Allah (swt) willed that the heavens and the earth will not weep for Pharaoh’s family, this means that in return they will weep for losing the believer. When a man dies, two places cry for him, a place on earth and a place in heaven, as for the place on earth, it is his prostrating place, and as for the place in heaven, it is where his deeds used to go up, and this is the top of satisfaction.

Some interpreters said that رَّاضِيَةٍ (pleasant) means (pleasing), those did not reach to all of the intended meanings in Allah’s (swt) Holy Qur’an and did not understand the eloquent of Allah’s (swt) speech. That is why anyone who wants to interprets the Holy Qur’an has to think deeply in these meanings, he has , as well, to extract the eloquent treasures and the arts of speech embedded in it.
