21. This tells us that there will be no labour in Paradise because reclining takes place in comfort. But, there will be no one remaining idle. People will be engaged in merry-making and beholding the beauteous vision of the Friend (Allah Almighty). Being idle is bad, but rest is good.

22. It should be remembered that in the world the marriage of a human being cannot take place with a non-human. There can be no marriage with animals or jinns. But, marriage in Paradise will be with a non-human because the Hoories are neither human nor from the progeny of Hazrat Adam, but yet they will be given in marriage to human beings.
