18.Surah
Al Kahf
The
Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:
إِنَّ
الَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا
الصَّالِحَاتِ
كَانَتْ لَهُمْ
جَنَّاتُ
الْفِرْدَوْسِ
نُزُلًا ﴿١٠٧﴾
18:
107. As to those who believe and work righteous deeds, they
have, for their entertainment, the Gardens of Paradise,
C2452. Firdaus in
Persian means an enclosed place, a park.
In
technical theological language the word is used for the inner circle
of Heaven, or the highest Heaven, the destination of those who
perfectly fulfil both requirements, viz.; a sound faith, and
perfectly righteous conduct. Small faults in either respect are
forgiven; the Mercy of Allah steps in. (R).
