Explanatory Note

If that dying person is one of those who are drawn close to God he will have repose, fulfilment and a garden of bliss. If he is one of those on the right, a greeting of peace will welcome you by the ones on the right. But if he happens to be one of those who denied the truth and went astray, he will be welcomed with scalding water, and the heat of a blazing fire. (Verses 88-94)

In the early part of the surah we saw images of the blessings granted to those who are close to God. The soul of such a person will now see what awaits it: 'repose, fulfilment and a garden of bliss.' The very sound of these words overflows with comfort, ease and happiness.

" If he is one of those on the right." This person is now directly addressed with a greeting sent to him by his brethren who are on the right. It is a gentle and delightful greeting, giving him reassurance. He begins to look forward to his forthcoming life with the people on the right.
