Explanatory Note

Now the surah begins to enumerate the types of luxuries they will enjoy in heaven. These are of course of the types they can imagine and visualize. Beyond these there are other luxuries and aspects of happiness and bliss, which they will recognize when they are ready to appreciate them in their future lives. These are things 'no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard of and no mind has ever imagined.'

"On gold-encrusted couches they will recline facing each other." (Verses 15-16) They are comfortable, free of all worries and preoccupations, reassured as to the continuity of their happiness, knowing that it will never end.
