Sura 29 al-Ankabut [spider ], Mecca [69]

كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ...

29:57. Every soul shall have a taste of death:

C3490. Cf. 3:185, n. 491, and 21:35 and n. 2697.

...ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ ﴿٥٧﴾

in the end to Us shall ye be brought back.

وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُم مِّنَ الْجَنَّةِ غُرَفًا...

29:58. But those who believe and work deeds of righteousness -- to them shall We give a Home in Heaven, -- lofty mansions

C3491. The goodly homes mentioned in 16:41 referred to this life, but it was stated there that the reward of the Hereafter would be greater.

Here the simile of the Home is referred to Heaven:

- it will be beautiful;

- it will be picturesque, with the sight and sound of softly-murmuring streams;

- it will be lofty or sublime; and

- it will be eternal.

... تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا...

beneath which flow rivers, -- to dwell therein for aye; --

...نِعْمَ أَجْرُ الْعَامِلِينَ ﴿٥٨﴾

an excellent reward for those who do (good)! --
