The Troops
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[39:73]
But those who were conscious of their Sustainer will be urged on in throngs towards paradise till, when they reach it, they shall find its gates wide-open; and its keepers will say unto them, "Peace be upon you! Well have you done: enter, then, this [paradise], herein to abide!"

* v.73 : Lit., “and its gates have [or “will have”] been opened,” i.e., before their arrival, as indicated by the particle wa (lit., “and”), which in this case denotes precedence in time (Zamakhsharī). Cf. in this connection 38:50 – “gardens of perpetual bliss, with gates wide-open to them.”
