Transliteration:( 'Aaliyahum siyaabu sundusin khudrunw wa istabraq, wa hullooo asaawira min fiddatinw wa saqaahum Rabbuhum sharaaban tahooraa )
"Upon them shall be garments of fine green silk and thick brocade[30]. And they shall be adorned[31] with bracelets of silver. And their Lord shall make them drink[32] a pure beverage."
✅ [30] Fine Silk and Brocade Garments
The inhabitants of Paradise will wear fine garments made of green silk (Sundus) and thick brocade (Istabrak).
These garments will not be for protection from heat or cold, as there will be no extreme temperatures in Paradise. Rather, the garments will serve as adornment, elegance, and beautification for the righteous, emphasizing their honor and blessings.
The use of fine materials underscores the luxury and opulence of Paradise, where comfort and beauty will abound.
✅ [31] Adorned with Bracelets of Silver
The inhabitants will be adorned with bracelets of silver, adding further beauty and splendor to their appearance.
The verse implies that jewelry will be worn by men in Paradise, in contrast to the worldly prohibition for men to wear gold and silver jewelry.
In Paradise, there are no worldly struggles or wars, so such adornments will be allowed as part of the eternal beauty of the divine reward.
✅ [32] The Pure Beverage
The pure beverage mentioned here represents a spiritual and physical delight that will be offered to the righteous in Paradise.
This drink will be free of intoxication, impurities, and negative effects. It symbolizes the purity and bliss of the eternal life, where the righteous will enjoy a drink that is both refreshing and healing.
In this context, the verse also alludes to the ecstatic love for Allah in this world, which is considered a pure drink for the heart, bringing spiritual satisfaction.
The tafsir of Surah Al-Insan verse 21 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Insan ayat 13 which provides the complete commentary from verse 13 through 22.
(76:21) They [i.e., the virtuous] shall be attired in garments of fine green silk and rich brocade[23] and will be adorned with bracelets of silver.[24] Their Lord will give them a pure wine to drink.[25]
23. The same theme has been expressed in (Surah Al-Kahf, Ayat 31), thus: “They (the dwellers of Paradise) will wearcolored robes of silk and rich brocade and will be recliningupon raised thrones.” On this basis, the opinion of thecommentators who have expressed the view that thisimplies the sheets of cloth which will be hanging over theirthrones or bedsteads or that this would be the dress of theboys who would be moving about serving them does notseem to be correct.
24. In (Surah Al-Kahf, Ayat 31), it has been said: “They willbe adorned with bracelets of gold.” This same theme hasalso occurred in (Surah Al-Hajj, Ayat 23) and (Surah Fatir, Ayat 33) above. When all these verses are read together, three possibilities become obvious.
(1) That sometimes they would like to wear bracelets of gold and sometimes bracelets of silver, both kinds of the ornaments being available for use as and when required;
(2) that they will wear bracelets of both gold and silver at the same time, for the combination of the two enhances the personal charmsof the wearer;
(3) that whosoever desires will wear bracelets of gold and whosoever desires will wear bracelets of silver.
As for the question, why will the men be adorned with the ornaments when these are usually worn by the women? The answer is that in the ancient times the customwas that the kings and their nobles used to adorn their hands and necks and the crowns of their heads with different kinds of ornaments. In (Surah Az-Zukhruf, Ayat 53), it has been said that when the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) arrived in the Pharaoh’s court in his simple dress, with only a staff in hand, and told him that he was a Messenger sent by Allah, Lord of the worlds, the Pharaoh said to his courtiers: “What kind of a messenger is he, who has appeared before me in this state? If he was sent by theKing of the universe, why were not bracelets of gold sentdown on him, or a company of angels as attendants?”
25. Two kinds of the wine have been mentioned above, first that to which water will be added from the fountain of camphor; second that to which water will be added from the fountain of ginger, After these, making mention of another wine, with the remark that their Lord shall give them a pure wine to drink, gives the meaning that this will be some superior kind of wine, which they will be given todrink as a special favor from Allah.
