<h2 class="title">The Condition of the People of Paradise on the Day of Judgement</h2><p>After mentioning the situation of the wretched people, Allah changes the discussion to mention those who will be happy. He says,</p><div class="text_uthmani arabic">وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ</div><p>(Faces that Day.) meaning, on the Day of Judgement.</p><div class="text_uthmani arabic">نَّاعِمَةٌ</div><p>(will be joyful,) meaning, pleasure will be noticeable in them (those faces). This will only occur due to their striving. Sufyan said,</p><div class="text_uthmani arabic">لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ </div><p>(Glad with their endeavor.) "They will be pleased with their deeds." Then Allah says,</p><div class="text_uthmani arabic">فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ </div><p>(In a lofty Paradise.) meaning, elevated and brilliant, secure in their dwellings.</p><div class="text_uthmani arabic">لاَّ تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَـغِيَةً </div><p>(Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood.) meaning, they will not hear in the Paradise that they will be in, any foolish word. This is as Allah says,</p><div class="text_uthmani arabic">لاَّ يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْواً إِلاَّ سَلَـماً</div><p>(They shall not hear therein any Laghw, but only Salam.)
