Surah 35. Fatir, Ayah 33

Regarding this symbolic "adornment" of the blessed in paradise, see note [41] on 18:31 .

"The Garden" signifies their environment: all they see about them will give them comfort, rest, and satisfaction, and a feeling of beauty and dignity. The jewels and clothes signify their personal external state: here, again, everything will give them a sense of beauty and dignity, comfort, rest, and satisfaction. And finally, most important of all, comes their internal state, where again they will have the same sense of beauty, dignity, comfort, rest, and satisfaction: this is indicated by their words of Praise (verses 34-35).

Cf. xviii. 31 and xxii. 23.
