Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We ask Your Eminence to shed light on the definition of ghill in the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And We will have removed whatever is within their breasts of resentmentوَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِي صُدُورِهِم مِّنْ غِلٍّ
[Al-A'raf 7:43]
.

Answer:
Ghill is hatred. There is no enmity or hatred among the people of Paradise; rather, there is love among them.
And We will remove whatever is in their breasts of resentment, [so they will be] brothers, on thrones facing each other.وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِي صُدُورِهِم مِّنْ غِلٍّ إِخْوَانًا عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَابِلِينَ
[Al-Hijr 15:47]
.
Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteousالْأَخِلَّاءُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ إِلَّا الْمُتَّقِينَ
[Az-Zukhruf 43:67]
So, among the believers who are the people of Paradise, no ghill remains in their hearts toward one another. Allah removes that from them, and in its place is established pure, lasting love among them. Yes.
