Machine translationRead the Arabic original
“
We are your awliya (close friends of Allah) in this worldly life نحن أوليائُكم في الحياة الدنيا
means We protect you in it
and in the Hereafter وفي الآخرة
means We will be with you in it until you enter Paradise
And you will have therein whatever your souls desire, and you will have therein whatever you request [or wish] ولكُم فيها ما تشْتَهي أنفسكم ولكم فيها ما تدَّعُون
[Fussilat 41:31]
you seek ”
The angels say to them: We are your awliya (close friends of Allah) in this worldly life and in the Hereafter, meaning that the angels take charge of the believers, encouraging them to do good and warning them against evil. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that the angel has a touch in the heart of the son of Adam, and Satan has a touch. The angel’s touch is a reminder of good and an encouragement to obedience, while Satan’s touch is the opposite. And his saying: “
in this worldly life في الحياة الدنيا
means We protect you in it ”
, and that is because if the angels are with a person, they guide him, show him the way to good, and encourage him to it.
and in the Hereafter وفي الآخرة
they also take charge of them in the Hereafter, for the angels
and the angels will meet them, [saying], "This is your Day which you have been promised" - تتلَقَّاهم الملائكة هذا يومكم الذي كنتم توعدون
[Al-Anbya 21:103]
and in Paradise, the angels enter upon them from every gate, saying, “Peace be upon you for what you patiently endured. Excellent is the home of the abode.” They are the awliya (close friends of Allah) of the believers in this world and in the Hereafter. May Allah make us and you among them.
and for you therein ولكم فيها
means in the Hereafter
whatever your souls desire, and you will have therein whatever you request [or wish] ما تشتهي أنفسكم ولكم فيها ما تدَّعُون
[Fussilat 41:31]
whatever a person desires, even if he does not ask for it, it will be present before him, and likewise, whatever he asks for will be present before him. In this world, a person does not get what he desires, even if he asks and repeats the request, it may not come to him, but in the Hereafter, the mere fact that a person desires something in his heart, it is present. Likewise, what they ask for is also present, and they are also given what does not cross their minds, as Allah the Exalted said:
They will have whatever they wish therein, and with Us is more. لهم ما يشاءون فيها ولدينا مزيد
[Qaf 50:35]
meaning you will be given from the blessings what you did not ask for and what your soul did not desire, because it did not cross your mind.
a provision نزلا
a prepared provision, which is in the accusative case due to
madeجُعِل
presumed, “meaning: it was made a provision”
from a [Lord who is] Forgiving and Merciful." مِن غفورٍ رحيم
[Fussilat 41:32]
and He is Allah (Mighty and Majestic), for they did not reach Paradise except by His forgiveness and mercy. Yes.
