Explanatory Note

The surah then presents a brilliant image of this generous reward in a scene of the day when this is granted: "On the day when you see all believers, men and women, with their light spreading rapidly before them and to their right."

The scene presented here is unique both in framework and detail. It is a scene brought to life by a dialogue that enhances the clearly delineated image. As we read, a lustrous image is drawn before us in which we see believing men and women and a gently shining light radiating through them and flowing to their right. These human bodies are beaming with a light that spreads from them so that it can be seen both before them and to their right. It is the light into which God brought them out of darkness; the light that beamed into their souls to overshadow their original nature. Or is it, perhaps, that the light from which God created this universe and all who live in it,' now appears in this group of people who have been true to their nature?

It is now believed that the original substance from which the universe was created is light, and that it is composed of atoms, and that the atom is, in essence, radiation. This theory may be the closest to the truth because it appears to be in line with the Qur'an.

We then listen to the address made to believers, men and women, combining honour with good news: " The good news for you today is that you shall for ever abide in gardens through which running waters flow. This is indeed the supreme triumph."
