and competition in increase
Say: Shall I give you glad tidings of things Far better than those? For the righteous are Gardens in nearness to their Lord, with rivers flowing beneath; therein is their eternal home; with companions pure (and holy); and the good pleasure of Allah. For in Allah's sight are (all) His servants,-
Allah hath promised to Believers, men and women, gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein, and beautiful mansions in gardens of everlasting bliss. But the greatest bliss is the good pleasure of Allah: that is the supreme felicity.
Know ye (all), that the life of this world is but play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting and multiplying, (in rivalry) among yourselves, riches and children. Here is a similitude: How rain and the growth which it brings forth, delight (the hearts of) the tillers; soon it withers; thou wilt see it grow yellow; then it becomes dry and crumbles away. But in the Hereafter is a Penalty severe (for the devotees of wrong). And Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure (for the devotees of Allah). And what is the life of this world, but goods and chattels of deception?
你说:“我告诉你们比这更佳美的,好吗?敬畏者得在他们的主那里,享受下临诸河的乐园,他们得永居其中,并获得纯洁的配偶,和真主的喜悦。”真主是明察众仆的。
真主应许信道的男女们将进入下临诸河的乐园,并永居其中,他们在常住的乐园里,将有优美的住宅,得到真主的更大的喜悦。这就是伟大的成功。
你们应当知道,今世的生活,只是游戏、娱乐、点缀、矜夸,以财产和子孙的富庶相争胜;譬如时雨,使田苗滋长,农夫见了非常高兴,嗣后,田苗枯槁,你看它变成黄色的,继而零落。在后世,有严厉的刑罚,也有从真主发出的赦宥和喜悦;今世生活,只是欺骗人的享受。
