| JM Rodwell | This is a monition: and verily, the pious shall have a goodly retreat: |
| Asad | gardens of perpetual bliss, with gates wide-open to them, [In all the eleven instances in which the noun adn occurs in the Quran - and of which the present is the oldest - it is used as a qualifying term for the "gardens" (jannat) of paradise. This noun is derived from the verb adana, which primarily denotes "he remained [somewhere]" or "he kept [to something]", i.e., permanently: cf. the phrase adantu l-balad ("I remained for good [or "settled"] in the country"). In Biblical Hebrew - which, after all, is but a very ancient Arabian dialect - the closely related noun eden has also the additional connotation of "delight", "pleasure" or bliss". Hence the combination of the two concepts in my rendering of adn as "perpetual bliss". As in many other places in the Quran, this bliss is here allegorized - and thus brought closer to man's imagination - by means of descriptions recalling earthly joys.] |
