Overall meaning : After pointing out the punishment the unbelievers suffered and stating that neither their riches nor their offspring will avail them or save them from Allah’s wrath and punishment, Allah, Glorified and Exalted be He, proceeds to warn people of faith against letting worldly desires and pleasures distract them away from the hereafter. Alluring to people, He states, is love of numerous worldly desires, such as women, offspring and the various forms of wealth. These are only the fleeting, transitory pleasures of the life of the world enjoyments of this life, He stresses, but far better is Allah’s forgiveness and the most excellent abode with Him.
Allah then instructs His Prophet to inform the believers that the eternal rewards Allah has in store for the faithful is far better than all these transient worldly desires: gardens of lasting bliss with delightful dwelling places, running streams of water and purified spouses. These pleasures will be everlasting and they will enjoy them forever. But best of all will be the good pleasure of Allah Almighty. Allah sees and is fully aware of all His servants, and He will repay them according to what they have done and render to them what they deserve.
Next, He depicts the deeds of the pious who deserve such bliss: They are those who earnestly beseech Him through their faith in Him, in His Book and in His Messenger, to forgive them their sins and save them from the punishment of the Fire. Then He further mentions that they have such qualities as patience, truthfulness, devoutness, spending in His way and seeking His forgiveness at the time of the divine descent to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night.
