Transliteration:( Fa waakihu wa hum mukramoon )
"Fruits, and they will be of every kind, shall be their honor [43]."
This verse describes the honor and nobility of the dwellers of Paradise—their provision will include fruits of every kind, not merely for sustenance but as a sign of distinction, luxury, and respect.
The abundance and diversity of fruits in Paradise signify the limitless bounty of Allah, and the honor He bestows upon His chosen servants.
The tafsir of Surah As-Saffat verse 42 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Saffat ayat 38 which provides the complete commentary from verse 38 through 49.
(37:42) a variety of delicious fruits; and they shall be honoured[23]
23. In this there is also a subtle allusion to the fact that, in Paradise, the food will be provided not to serve as food but for pleasure and delight. That is, the food there will not be meant to replenish the bodily deficiencies through diet, for no deficiency whatever will occur in the body in that eternal life, nor will man have appetite, for appetite is caused by the process of assimilation in the body, nor will the body demand food for its survival. That is why the word fawakih has been used for the different kinds of food in Paradise, which contains the sense of taste and pleasure more than that of nutrition.
[1291]- Meaning everything delicious.
