Translation, Commentary & Explanation of Chapter 18 Al-Kahfi.
The meaning of Verse 31
For them are the Paradise of Aden, with rivers flowing underneath them.
In that paradise they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and will wear fine green silk and brocade.
They will be seated in a relaxed and leaning position on a raised platform.
Those are the best rewards and the most pleasant resting place.
====================================================
Imam Jalalain commented that :-
1) They will live in the Paradise of Aden, which
Muhammad Asad later commented are gardens of perpetual
bliss, that is endless perfect joy
2) The grammar may indicate that the bracelets are
only some of the many other ornaments.
3) It is mentioned in The Quran
Chapter 55
Ar-Rahman
Verse 54 ;
"In the inner side are from brocade"
[which I supposed explained the reason why in this
verse 31 is mentioned both 'fine silk and brocade' in one sentence].
4) The raised platforms are like the platforms in traditional Malay weddings, where the brides and bridegrooms will be seated and treated like kings and queens. There will also be many kinds of decorations, clothings and curtains.
