لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا إِلَّا سَلَامًا...   

19:62.  They will not there hear any vain discourse, but only salutations of peace:

C2512. Salam, translated "Peace", has a much wide signification. It includes;

-         a sense of security and permanence, which is unknown in this life;

-         soundness, freedom from defects, perfection as in the word salim;

-         preservation, salvation, deliverance, as in the word sallama,

-         salutation, accord with those around us;

-         resignation, in the sense that we are satisfied and not discontented;

-         besides the ordinary meaning of Peace, i.e., freedom from any jarring element. All these shades of meaning are implied in the word Islam. (R).

...وَلَهُمْ رِزْقُهُمْ فِيهَا بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيًّا ﴿٦٢﴾

and they will have therein their sustenance, morning and evening.

C2513. Rizq: literally sustenance or means of subsistence, the term covers all the means of perfect satisfaction of body and soul.

Morning and evening, i.e., early and late, all the time, always. (R).
