Surah Al-Kahf Ayat 31 Tafsir (Commentry)



  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi
  • Shaheen International

74.This means for eternal habitation, from where they will never be taken out, nor will anyone experience death therein. May Allah Almighty grant this to us! 

75. Every inmate of Paradise will be adorned with three one of gold, one of silver and one of pearls, reaching that part of the hand where the water of ablution can reach. It was forbidden for man to wear jewellery in the world because holy wars were taking place there. If they had worn bracelets, how would they have picked up swords? Because there would be no war taking place in Paradise, it would be permissible for man to wear jewellery there. 

76. From this we learn that Allah Almighty dearly loves the colour green. Thus, the earth of Paradise is green, the souls of the martyrs are green, the dome of the Holy Prophet is green.

34. The dwellers of Paradise will be adorned with bracelets of gold like the kings of ancient times. This will be to show that they will be adorned like the kings of this world, whereas an unbeliever and wicked king will be disgraced there.

35. The Arabic word araaik is plural of arikah which is that kind of throne that is covered with an umbrella. This is also to show that in Paradise the believers will sit on thrones like the kings of this world.
