54مُتَّكِئينَ عَلىٰ فُرُشٍ بَطائِنُها مِن إِستَبرَقٍ ۚ وَجَنَى الجَنَّتَينِ دانٍMuhammad Asad[In such a paradise the blest will dwell,] reclining upon carpets lined with rich brocade;1 and the fruit of both these gardens will be within easy reach.Cf. 18:31 and the corresponding note 41. The "reclining upon carpets" (or "upon couches" in 18:31) is a symbol of utter restfulness and peace of mind. The mention of the "carpets" of paradise being lined with rich brocade is perhaps meant to convey the idea that - just as the lining of a carpet is, as a rule, invisible - the beauty of paradise has nothing to do with outward show, being of an inner, spiritual nature (Razi). This concept appears already in an earlier interpretation, quoted by Zamakhshari, according to which the 'carpets" spoken of here consist of light.
