Open in Qurani

قل أونبيكم بخير من ذلكم

Say: "Shall I inform you of things far better than those!'' This Ayah means, "Say, O Muhammad, to the people, `Should I tell you about what is better than the delights and joys of this life that will soon perish!''' Allah informed them of what is better when He said,

للذين اتقوا عند ربهم جنات تجري من تحتها اﻻنهار

For those who have Taqwa there are Gardens (Paradise) with their Lord, underneath which rivers flow, meaning, rivers run throughout it. These rivers carry various types of drinks: honey, milk, wine and water such that no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard, and no heart has ever imagined.

خالدين فيها

Therein (is their) eternal (home), meaning, they shall remain in it forever and ever and will not want to be removed from it.

وأزواج مطهرة

And Azwajun Mutahharatun (purified mates or wives), meaning, from filth, dirt, harm, menstruation, post birth bleeding, and other things that affect women in this world.

ورضوان من الله

And Allah will be pleased with them. meaning, Allah's pleasure will descend on them and He shall never be angry with them after that. This is why Allah said in in Surah Bara`ah,

ورضون من الله أكبر

But the pleasure of Allah is greater. (9:72) meaning, greater than the eternal delight that He has granted them. Allah then said,

والله بصير بالعباد

And Allah is All-Seer of the (His) servants. and, He gives each provisions according to what they deserve
