Transliteration:( Faakiheena bimaaa aataahum rabbuhum wa waqaahum rabbuhum 'azaabal jaheem )
18. And they are happy with what their Lord has bestowed [17] upon them. And their Lord will save them from the punishment of Hell [18].
In Paradise, the pious will receive two types of divine bounties: the reward for their piety and the imperial bestowal of Allah’s kindness.
The reward of deeds will be given by Allah’s grace, and the phrase "Oh Lord!" emphasizes their gratitude for this divine mercy.
The verse refers to two types of individuals who will be saved from Hell:
The pious believers who are saved from Hell from the very beginning due to their righteousness.
The forgiven sinners who, even though they may have sinned, are ultimately forgiven and saved, either through intercession or after being purified from Hell.
This assures that even those who may have sinned but hold faith will eventually be saved from Hell and enter Paradise.
The tafsir of Surah Tur verse 18 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Tur ayat 17 which provides the complete commentary from verse 17 through 20.
(52:18) enjoying what Allah will have endowed them with; and their Lord will have saved them from the torment of the Blazing Fire.[12]
12. There seems to be no need to mention a person’s being saved from Hell after it has been said that he will be admitted to Heaven, but at several places in the Quran these two things have been mentioned separately because a person’s being saved from Hell is by itself a great blessing. And the words, “and their Lord saved them from the punishment of Hell”, is an allusion to the truth that man’s being saved from Hell is possible only through Allah’s grace and bounty; otherwise human weaknesses cause such flaws to occur in everyone’s work that if Allah does not overlook them by His grace and instead decides to subject him to accountability, none can save himself from His punishment. That is why although entry into Paradise is a great bounty from Allah, his being saved from Hell is no less a mercy.
