IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[36:56]
in happiness will they and their spouses on couches recline;

* v.56 : In the Qur’anic descriptions of paradise, the term zill (“shade”) and its plural zilāl are often used as a metaphor for “happiness” – thus, for instance, in 4:57, where zill zalīl signifies “happiness abounding” (see sūrah 4, note 74) – while the “couches” on which the blessed are to recline are obviously a symbol of inner fulfilment and peace of mind, as pointed out by Rāzī in his comments on 18:31 and 55:54.
