Sura 98
Aya 8
8
جَزاؤُهُم عِندَ رَبِّهِم جَنّاتُ عَدنٍ تَجري مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهارُ خالِدينَ فيها أَبَدًا ۖ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنهُم وَرَضوا عَنهُ ۚ ذٰلِكَ لِمَن خَشِيَ رَبَّهُ

Yusuf Ali

Their reward is with God. Gardens of Eternity, beneath which rivers flow; they will dwell therein for ever; God well pleased with them, and they with Him:1 all this for such as fear their Lord and Cherisher.2
  • The Good Pleasure of God is the final Bliss of Salvation. The good pleasure is mutual; the truly saved is he whose will has become completely identified with God’s universal Will. See Appendix 7 on the Muslim Heaven. Cf. 99:27-30.
  • The fear of God is the fear to offend against His holy Law, the fear to do anything which is against His holy Will. Such fear is akin to love; for with it dawns the consciousness of God’s loving care for all His creatures.
