Commentary: In the preceding verse the organs of sight and hearing were mentioned as feeling the pain of Divine punishment. The present verse, besides referring to the organs of touch, expresses the extreme bitterness of the disbelievers' distress. When a man is in great distress he wishes that death should make a speedy end of him. 2653. Commentary: In reply to the disbelievers' taunt that the Holy Prophet was quite an ordinary man and his followers were devoid of wealth and other material comforts (vv. 8-9), the Quran had predicted that the Prophet and his followers would be given all these things in abundance (v. 11). In the present verse, however, reference is made to the fact that over and above these material benefits and comforts, Muslims will reside in Gardens of Eternity where they will bask in the Sun of Divine love, the greatest of all blessings, and this blessing will know no diminution or end. 2654. Commentary: 2309 The verse means to say that believers will earn "Gardens of Eternity" as a reward for the great sacrifices they would have made for the cause of truth and the life of piety
