Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks about the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Waqi'ah 56:30], given that there is no sun in Paradise, what is meant by that?
Answer:
This is its meaning: that there is no sun in it. “A shade extended” means there is no sun in it,[Al-Insan 76:13-14]. So the meaning of “extended” here is that there is no sun, because the sun cancels out the shade. Yes.

They will not see therein any [burning] sun or [freezing] cold. (14) And near above them are its shades, and its [fruit] to be picked will be lowered in compliance.
لَا يَرَوْنَ فِيهَا شَمْسًا وَلَا زَمْهَرِيرًا وَدَانِيَةً عَلَيْهِمْ ظِلَالُهَا وَذُلِّلَتْ قُطُوفُهَا تَذْلِيلًا
