The Reward of Patience
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ يُجۡزَوۡنَ ٱلۡغُرۡفَةَ بِمَا صَبَرُواْ وَيُلَقَّوۡنَ فِيهَا تَحِيَّةࣰ وَسَلَٰمًا ٧٥
They will be awarded the high place forasmuch as they were steadfast, and they will meet therein with welcome and the ward of peace.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
These will be rewarded with the high chambers for their patience.
Insight
Elmalılı explains “ghurfah” as the highest point of a lofty building, like a bay window or tower: the patient will be raised to the highest chambers of Paradise.
Reflect
See your patience today as an investment.
