Translation
(62) Besides those two there shall be two other gardens. (63) Which of your Lord’s wonders would you deny? (64) Both [gardens] of the darkest green. (65) Which of your Lord’s wonders would you deny? (66) In both of them live springs gush forth. (67) Which of your Lord’s wonders would you deny? (68) In both of them there will be fruit trees and date-palms and pomegranates. (69) Which of your Lord’s wonders would you deny? (70) Therein will be maidens chaste and beautiful. (71) Which of your Lord’s wonders would you deny? (72) [There the blessed will live with their] pure companions sheltered in pavilions. (73) Which of your Lord’s wonders would you deny? (74) Whom neither a man or jinn had ever touched before them. (75) Which of your Lord’s wonders would you deny? (76) [They will live in such a paradise] reclining upon green cushions and the finest carpets. (77) Which of your Lord’s wonders would you deny? (78) Blessed be your Lord’s name, full of glory and majesty!
Commentary
(a) In these verses the second Paradise has been mentioned. This will also have two gardens like the first Paradise. This Paradise will be for ordinary righteous people. In comparison with the bounties of the present world, the bounties of this Paradise will also be unimaginably greater. Still, compared to the first mentioned Paradise, this will be a Paradise of the second degree.
