Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:35] Is the Garden referred to the Garden of this world or the Hereafter?
Answer:
The apparent meaning is the Garden, the Garden of the Hereafter, which is described as:[Taha 20:118-119]. And He said, “You and your wife will be tested in the Garden.” The definite article “al” indicates that the well-known Garden is meant. This is the apparent meaning. In any case, if there had been any benefit for us in specifying which Garden it was, Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, would have made it clear to us.

إِنَّ لَكَ أَلَّا تَجُوعَ فِيهَا وَلَا تَعْرَىٰ وَأَنَّكَ لَا تَظْمَأُ فِيهَا وَلَا تَضْحَىٰ
