Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, asks: How do we reconcile His saying, Exalted is He:[Al-Insan 76:13] with His saying, Glorified is He: [Al-Mursalat 77:41]? Is not shade a result of the sun, which is negated in the first verse?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. There is no sun in Paradise, nor any bitter cold. There is no sun and no heat. It is said that the bitter cold is the moon; there is no sun and no moon in it. Consequently, there is no heat in it, and it is not all shade; there is no extended shade in it. It is all shade, all shade, a cool shade. Yes.
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, asks: How do we reconcile His saying, Exalted is He:
They will not see therein any [burning] sun or [freezing] cold.
لَا يَرَوْنَ فِيهَا شَمْسًا وَلَا زَمْهَرِيرًاIndeed, the righteous will be among shades and springs
إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي ظِلَالٍ وَعُيُونٍAnswer:

Consequently, there is no heat in it, and it is not all shade; there is no extended shade in it. It is all shade, all shade, a cool shade. Yes.
