Transliteration:( Lahum maa yashaaa'oona 'inda Rabbihim; zaalika jazaaa'ul muhsineen )
"For them is what they desire [85] from their Lord. This is the reward for their goodness."
This verse describes the honorable reward for those who have both brought and affirmed the truth, especially referring to the likes of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him).
Allah declares that whatever they desire will be granted to them — a mark of divine pleasure and satisfaction. This is an exceptional honor, for it signifies not only material reward but a fulfillment of spiritual yearning, closeness to Allah, and eternal bliss.
It is noted that, just as Allah said regarding His Beloved Prophet ﷺ, "And your Lord will give you so much that you will be pleased" (Surah Ad-Duhaa 93:5), a similar tone is found here for Abu Bakr Siddiq, confirming that he is indeed a reflection of the prophetic light, sharing in the nearness and pleasure of the Divine.
Their goodness – in belief, affirmation, sincerity, and devotion – earns a limitless reward, affirming that such individuals are among the elite of the Ummah.
The tafsir of Surah Az-Zumar verse 34 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Zumar ayat 32 which provides the complete commentary from verse 32 through 35.
(39:34) They shall have from their Lord all that they wish for.[53] That is the reward of those that do good,
53. One should note that the words used here are indarabbi- him (with their Lord) and not fil-jannah (in Paradise), and obviously man reaches in the presence of his Lord just after death. Therefore, the intention of the verse seems to be: Not only after entering Paradise but right from the time of death till his entry into Paradise Allah will treat the righteous believer in the same kind manner. The believer will certainly desire to be saved from the torment of barzakh, from the severities of the Day of Resurrection and Judgment, from the humiliation of the Plain of Gathering and from the punishment of his errors and shortcomings, and Allah Almighty will fulfill all his desires.
