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.
