AyatmaAAu kullu imri-in minhum an yudkhala jannata naAAeem (surah Maarij: 38)

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(70:38) Does everyone of them wish to enter the Garden of Bliss? *25

Ayatma`u kullum ri`im minhum anyyudkhala jannata Na`eem

*25) It means that God's Paradise is only for those righteous people whose characteristics have just been described above, Now, can these people who are not at aII inclined to listen to the truth and who are rushing in towards the Prophet in order to suppress every invitation to the truth, be candidates for Paradise? Has God prepared His Paradise only for such people as they? Here, one should also keep in view vv. 34-41 of Surah AI-Qalam in which an answer has been given to this saying of the disbelievers of Makkah: "Even if there is any life after death, we shall have good time there too, as we are having in the world, and the torment would befall Muhammad (upon whom be Allah's peace and blessings) and his followers and not us.
