📖 Commentary of Surah An-Nahl – Verse 31

"Gardens of Eden which they will enter, beneath which rivers flow; they will have therein whatever they wish [64]. Thus does Allah reward the righteous."

✅ [64] Fulfillment of Pure Desires in Paradise

This verse describes the eternal reward for the righteous: entry into the Gardens of Eden, where rivers flow beneath—symbolizing everlasting freshness, comfort, and delight. In Paradise, the dwellers will receive whatever they desire, without restriction or delay.

The deeper meaning behind this is that if you live in this world according to Allah’s will, then in Paradise, Allah will fulfill your wishes. In this life, human beings are influenced by two opposing forces: the baser self (nafs), which generates selfish and evil desires, and the heart, which inclines towards righteousness and goodness. Hence, not all wishes in this world are worthy of being fulfilled.

However, in Paradise, the nafs will be removed, and only pure and noble desires will remain. Therefore, all the wishes of the people of Paradise will be good by nature, and Allah will fulfill them completely. This is a reflection of His perfect mercy and reward for those who lived with taqwa (God-consciousness) in the world.

Please refer to Surah Nahl ayat 30 which provides the complete commentary from verse 30 through 32.

(16:31) everlasting gardens that they shall enter; the gardens beneath which rivers shall flow, and where they shall have whatever they desire! Thus does Allah reward the God-fearing,[28]

Ala-Maududi

(16:31) everlasting gardens that they shall enter; the gardens beneath which rivers shall flow, and where they shall have whatever they desire! Thus does Allah reward the God-fearing,[28]


28. This is the best blessing of Paradise. The dweller will get there whatever he will desire and wish and there will be nothing at all to offend him. This is the blessing that has never been attained even by the richest and the most powerful people in this world. On the contrary, every dweller of Paradise will enjoy this blessing to his fill because he will always have everything to his desire and liking, and will have each and every wish and desire fulfilled.

(31) Gardens of perpetual residence, which they will enter, beneath which rivers flow. They will have therein whatever they wish. Thus does Allāh reward the righteous -
