Commentary 76:21 In this and the following verses a glimpse of paradise is sketched for us. The “robes of fine green silk and of thick brocade” ثِيَابُ سُندُسٍ خُضْرٌ…
عَالِيَهُمْ ثِيَابُ سُندُسٍ خُضْرٌ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٌ ۖ وَحُلُّوا أَسَاوِرَ مِن فِضَّةٍ وَسَقَاهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ شَرَابًا طَهُورًا
76:21 In this and the following verses a glimpse of paradise is sketched for us. The “robes of fine green silk and of thick brocade” ثِيَابُ سُندُسٍ خُضْرٌ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٌ are for protection from the disturbing effects of heat and cold. Vessels of silver and goblets (أَسَاوِرَ مِن فِضَّةٍ) are the manifestation of the beneficent influence of the Prophets of Allâh. The conferment of bracelets of silver are as like medals bestowed upon them for winning the goodwill of their Lord and like a certificate from Him. The drinks of purifying beverage (شَرَابًا طَهُورًا) that they are offered shows that they have attained nearness to their Lord and have been perfectly purified of vices and sins. Despite all these explanatory attempts, the caveat has to be kept in mind that our imagination is not capable of understanding the future life in a different dimension, “No soul knows what joy of the eyes is kept hidden from them as a reward for the Good they used to do” (32:17).
