The Quran

وَقالُوا الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذي صَدَقَنا وَعدَهُ وَأَورَثَنَا الأَرضَ نَتَبَوَّأُ مِنَ الجَنَّةِ حَيثُ نَشاءُ ۖ فَنِعمَ أَجرُ العامِلينَ

Muhammad Asad

And they will exclaim: "All praise is due to God, who has made His promise to us come true, and has bestowed upon us this expanse [of bliss] as our portion,¹ so that we may dwell in paradise as we please!" And how excellent a reward will it be for those who laboured [in God's way]!

Lit., "has made us heirs to this land", i.e., of paradise. According to all the classical commentators, the concept of "heritage" is used here metaphorically, to denote the rightful due, or portion, of the blessed. The term ard (lit., "earth" or "land") has also especially in poetry - the connotation of "anything that is spread" (cf. Lane 1, 48): hence my rendering of it, in the above context, as "expanse".
