Commentary 25:15 Jannat al-Khuld جَنَّةُ الْخُلْدِ is the eternal Paradise from which the servants of Allâh will never be expelled. Jannat al-Khuld جَنَّةُ الْخُلْدِ is…
قُلْ أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ أَمْ جَنَّةُ الْخُلْدِ الَّتِي وُعِدَ الْمُتَّقُونَ ۚ
25:15 Jannat al-Khuld جَنَّةُ الْخُلْدِ is the eternal Paradise from which the servants of Allâh will never be expelled. Jannat al-Khuld جَنَّةُ الْخُلْدِ is not identical with the Jannat mentioned in the narration of Adam (cf. 2:35) from where he was expelled. Nor is it the paradise of the green fertile lands of this earth. Adam had to leave that Jannat (cf.: 2:36), and the Muslim had to give back their paradise in Andalusia; as this was a temporary paradise (Jannat) on this very earth (2:30), whereas nobody entering Jannat al-Khuld جَنَّةُ الْخُلْدِ will be expelled from it (cf.: 15:48). In Jannat al-Khuld جَنَّةُ الْخُلْدِ“they will hear no vain discourse, no topics of falsehood” (78:35).
