Commentary
Jannata – literal
meaning of this word is: Such Garden; crowded trees of which; cover the land.
In the term of Islamic Law; it aims, such dignified Garden, in which, there are
countless blessings and which will be bestowed to the virtuous persons on the
Day of Resurrection. That Garden is called Jannah (Paradise ) also
because its blessings are hidden from our eyes too.
zaw-juka – (Your wife),
Eve (the wife of Adam (peace be upon Them), who was already born at that time;
before this discussion. She is the Mother of entire human beings.
Hay-su shi’-tumaa – (Where ye
will), (where-from you wish to
eat), this word discloses the breadth and largeness of the Paradise .
God Almighty created
Adam (peace be upon him) in accord with His own Will and chose him Vicegerent
of His Own on the earth. To manifest his position, Allah Almighty commanded the
Angels (peace be upon Them) to fall prostrate towards Adam (peace be upon him),
so that none may have any courage to rebel or disobey Him. The Angels (peace be
upon Them) admitted the greatness of Adam and fell prostrate towards Him (peace
be upon him).
After the Caliphate of Adam (Peace
be upon Him); Allah Almighty provided them (Adam and His wife) opportunity
to live in the Paradise , eat and
drink whatever they wish.
About Eve, (peace be
upon her), the Commentators of Islam have narrated that Adam (peace be upon
him) was alone in the Paradise . He was
tired of loneliness. So God Almighty created Eve (peace be upon her) and
commanded: You both dwell in the Paradise and eat freely where-from you wish.
It is obvious from
this lesson that God Almighty gave Adam (peace be upon him) big rewards more
than enough and dignity. At first; He (peace be upon him) was given knowledge,
then He became Viceroy of God Almighty, after that a life partner (wife) was
provided to Him for comfort and pleasure, then He was placed in Paradise and
bestowed countless blessings for eating and drinking. Allah Almighty bestows
rewards to His servants always. Now, it is duty of His servants that they
should be thankful to Allah Almighty and recognize the Value of such favors.
