Surah Rahman ayat 46 Tafsir Quran 55:46

﴿وَلِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ جَنَّتَانِ﴾
[ الرحمن: 46]

55:46 But for he who has feared the position of his Lord are two gardens -

But for those who feared that is for every one of them or for all of them together the station of their Lord the standing before Him for the Reckoning and therefore refrained from being disobedient to Him there will be two gardens.

As for him who entertains the profound reverence dutiful to Allah, his Creator, and regards Him with awe and bows the knees to His majesty, grandeur and sublimity, there will be two destined gardenesque habitations

The Delight of Those Who have Taqwa in Paradise Allah the Exalted said, وَلِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ ( But for him who fears the standing before his Lord, ) on the Day of Resurrection, وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَى ( And restrained himself from the desires. ) ( 79:40 ), and does not indulge nor prefer this worldly life.
He who knows that the Hereafter is better and more lasting, so he fulfills what his Lord ordered him and stays away from His prohibitions, then he will earn two gardens from his Lord on the Day of Resurrection.
Al-Bukhari recorded that `Abdullah bin Qays said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«جَنَّتَانِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ آنِيَتُهُمَا وَمَا فِيهِمَا، وَجَنَّتَانِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ آنِيَتُهُمَا وَمَا فِيهِمَا، وَمَا بَيْنَ الْقَوْمِ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَنْظُرُوا إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَّا رِدَاءُ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فِي جَنَّةِ عَدْن»
( There are two gardens made of silver -- their vessels and all that they contain.
And there are two gardens made of gold -- their vessels and all that they contain.
And nothing stands between the people in the `Adn Garden and looking at their Lord, the Exalted and Most Honored, but the covering of pride before His Face. ) The Group, with the exception of Abu Dawud, collected this via the Hadith of `Abdul-`Aziz.
This Ayah is general and applies to both humans and Jinns, providing proof that those among the Jinns who believe and have Taqwa will enter Paradise, for Allah is reminding the Ath-Thaqalayn of this favor, as He says; وَلِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ جَنَّتَانِ فَبِأَىِّ ءَالاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ ( But for him who fears the standing before his Lord, there will be two Gardens.
Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny ) Then He describes these two gardens, by saying, ذَوَاتَآ أَفْنَانٍ ( With Afnan. ) their trees have beautiful young branches that hold and produce every type of ripened beautiful fruit, فَبِأَىِّ ءَالاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ ( Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny ) `Ata' Al-Khurasani and several others said that Afnan means spreading branches of trees that reach the branches of other trees, فِيهِمَا عَيْنَانِ تَجْرِيَانِ ( In them (both ) will be two springs flowing.) free to water these trees and branches that produce all kinds of fruits, فَبِأَىِّ ءَالاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ ( Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny ) Al-Hasan Al-Basri said that one of these springs is called Tasnim, and the other called As-Salsabil.
`Atiyah said that the water of one of these springs is from non-standing water and the other from wine that gives delight to those who drink it.
Allah's statement, فِيهِمَا مِن كُلِّ فَـكِهَةٍ زَوْجَانِ ( In them (both ) will be every kind of fruit in pairs.), of every type and kind of fruit, that which they knew before, and better, and that which they did not know before.
Therein, there are delights that no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard and no heart has ever imagined, فَبِأَىِّ ءَالاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ ( Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny ) Ibrahim bin Al-Hakam bin Aban said that his father narrated from `Ikrimah that Ibn `Abbas said, "There is not a fruit that exists in this life, sweet or bitter, but it exists in Paradise, even the colo- cynth." Ibn `Abbas also said, "There is nothing in the world that is in the Hereafter except in name." Meaning there is such an enormous difference and contrast between the two in enjoyment and value.

(55:46) For any who fears to stand before his Lord *40 are two Gardens. *41

But for he who has feared the meaning

*40) 'Who dreads...
Lord": who fears God in whatever he dces in the world, and dreads his accountability before Him in the Hereafter.
Whoever holds this belief will inevitably avoid serving the lusts of his self, will avoid following every path blindly, will distinguish between the truth and falsehood, justice and injustice, pure and impure, and the lawful and the unlawful, and will not turn away deliberately from following the Commands of God.
This is the real ground for the reward that is being mentioned below.

*41) Jannat actually means a garden.
At sane places in the Qur'an the entire world in which the righteous people will be kept, has boon called Jannat, as though the whole of it WAS a garden.
And at others it has been said that they will have Jannat ( Gardens ) under which canals will be flowing.
This means that that big Garden will comprise countless other gardens; and here precisely it has been stated that every pious man will be given two gardens in that big Garden, which will be particularly meant for him; it will have his own palaces in which he will live with his family and attendants like a king, and in it he will be provided with aII that is being mentioned below.

( But for him who feareth the standing before his Lord ) but he who fears standing before his Lord upon being on the verge of committing a transgression and thus desists from it ( there are two Gardens ) the Garden of Eden and the Firdaws.

But for him who [the true believer of Islamic Monotheism who performs all the duties ordained by Allah and His Messenger Muhammad SAW, and keeps away (abstain) from all kinds of sin and evil deeds prohibited in Islam and] fears the standing before his Lord, there will be two Gardens (i.e. in Paradise).
