Transliteration:( Laa yasma'oona feehaa laghwan illaa salaamaa; wa lahum rizquhum feehaa bukratanw wa 'ashiyyaa )
"They will not hear therein any vain talk [111], but only greetings of peace [112]. And for them is their provision morning and evening [113]."
In Paradise, there will be no unlawful, useless, or offensive speech. Neither will the inhabitants engage in such talk, nor will they hear it from anyone else.
This implies a subtle command for those in the world:
Guard your tongue from idle, meaningless, or sinful speech, as the life of Paradise is free from such behavior. Striving to speak with purpose and dignity in this world is a heavenly trait.
Inhabitants of Paradise will constantly hear salutations of peace (Salaam):
From one another, as a reflection of mutual love and harmony.
From the angels, as an expression of honor and welcome.
Possibly even from Allah Almighty Himself, showing the utmost level of divine closeness and acceptance.
This suggests that the greeting of peace (Salaam)—widely practiced by Muslims—is not only an Islamic custom but a reflection of the language of Paradise.
The verse mentions that provision will be granted morning and evening, but in Paradise:
There will be no concept of time, so this phrase is understood to mean continuous and abundant sustenance.
Some scholars say that angels will bring food according to the honor and rank of each person.
Others mention that inhabitants will eat whenever they desire, without any restrictions or waiting.
This points to a life of complete comfort, freedom, and satisfaction, where needs are fulfilled even before they are felt.
Thus, this verse paints a picture of eternal peace, pure company, and effortless luxury—rewards prepared for the righteous believers.
The tafsir of Surah Maryam verse 62 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Maryam ayat 61 which provides the complete commentary from verse 61 through 63.
(19:62) They shall not hear in it anything vain; they shall hear only what is good;[38] and they shall have their provision in it, morning and evening.
38. The word used is salam, which means free from defect and fault. It implies to mean that the greatest blessing that man will enjoy in Paradise will be that there he will hear no idle, vile or indecent talk. All the dwellers of Paradise will be neat and clean and pure people and every individual will be gentle and right minded by nature. Everybody will be secure against backbiting, slander and indecent songs and other ugly sounds. Whatever men will hear will be good, sensible and right.
This is indeed a great blessing which only that person can fully appreciate, who possesses a neat and fine taste, because only such a one can feel the misery of living among a dirty society, where his ears are never immune against lies, backbiting, slander, and mischievous and sensual talk.
