133. " and hasten towards forgiveness from your lord, and a garden whose
width is (as) the heavens and the earth,
prepared for the pious ones."
commentary:
a race on the path of felicity
following to the former verses, which threatened the wrong doers to
the punishment of fire and encouraged the good doers to the grace and
mercy of allah, in this verse the effort and endeavour of the good doers is
likened to a spiritual race the goal of which is the forgiveness of allah and
the eternal blessings in heaven. it says:
" and hasten towards forgiveness from your lord, ..."
since attaining any spiritual rank is not possible without being
purified from sins by his forgiveness, the goal of this spiritual race firstly is
forgiveness and secondly is heaven:
"... and a garden whose width is (as) the heavens and the earth, ..."
then, at the end of the verse, it clearly declares that this heaven,
with its wonderful splendour, has already been prepared for the pious ones.
it says:
"... prepared for the pious ones."
