Al-Insan 76:13
The Man · Medinan · Juz 29 · Page 579
Neither Heat Nor Cold
مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ فِيهَا عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِۖ لَا يَرَوۡنَ فِيهَا شَمۡسࣰا وَلَا زَمۡهَرِيرࣰا ١٣
Reclining therein upon couches, they will find there neither (heat of) a sun nor bitter cold.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Reclining on couches, they will see neither scorching sun nor bitter cold.
Insight
Elmalılı explains “arikah” as an adorned couch set up in a bridal chamber; “zamharir” is bitter cold, for extreme cold is a torment just like extreme heat.
Reflect
Give thanks today for being sheltered from heat or cold.
