20:120

وَأَنَّكَ لَا تَظْمَؤُا۟ فِيهَا وَلَا تَضْحَىٰ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

‘And that thou wilt not thirst therein, nor wilt thou be exposed to the sun.’

English - Five Volume Translation

And that thou wilt not thirst therein, nor wilt thou be exposed to the sun.’[2328]

Commentary:

The reference in this and the preceding verse seems to be to the amenities and comforts which are the concomitants of civilized life. These two verses point to the fact that to provide food, clothing and housing to its people which are their primary necessities of life is the first duty of a civilized government and that a society can only be called civilized when all its members are provided with these necessities. Mankind will continue to suffer from social upheavals and the moral tone of human society will never really improve unless economic inequalities of such a serious nature that some sections of society roll in wealth and others die of starvation, are done away with. Adam is told in these verses that he will live in a place where amenities and necessities of life will be adequately available to all its inhabitants. This state of affairs has been described elsewhere in the Quran in the words, And eat therefrom plentifully wherever you will (2:36). The verse under comment also shows that with Adam began a new social order and that he laid the foundations of a kingdom which ushered in the era of social progress of man.

‘And that thou shalt not thirst therein, nor shalt thou be exposed to the sun.’[1858]

Reference in this and the preceding verse seems to be to the amenities and comforts which are the concomitants of civilized life. These two verses point to the fact that to provide food, clothing and shelter to its people—their primary necessities of life—is the first duty of a civilized government and that a society can only be called civilized when all its members are adequately provided with these necessities. Mankind will continue to suffer from social upheavals, and the moral tone of human society will never really improve unless economic inequalities of such a serious nature, that some sections of society roll in wealth and others die of starvation, are done away with. Adam is told here that he will live in a place where amenities and necessities of life will be adequately available to all its inhabitants. This state of affairs has been described elsewhere in the Qur’an in the words, and eat therefrom plentifully wherever you will (2:36). The verse under comment also shows that with Adam

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور یہ (بھی) کہ نہ تُو اُس میں پیاسا رہے اور نہ دھوپ میں جلے۔

French

Et tu n’y seras pas assoiffé, et tu n’y seras pas non plus exposé à l’ardeur du soleil. »

German

Und dass du darin nicht dürsten noch der Sonnenhitze ausgesetzt sein sollst."

Chinese

“你在那里 (天园中), 将不蒙受干渴, 也不遭遇热晒。[823]

这节与上节经文似乎是谈及欢乐与舒适--------文明生活的相伴物。这里指出为本国人民提供食物、衣服与住所等这些人类生活的起码必需品, 是文明政府的首要职责; 也只有在全体成员都能充分地获得这类必需品时, 才称得上是文明社会。某些社会阶层的财富滚滚而来; 而另一些人则由于饥饿而死去。这种严重的、经济上的不平等不根除的话, 人类社会就会动乱不止, 人类社会的道德意识也不可能真正改善。这里阿丹被告知, 他将在一个地方生活, 那里所有居民都能充分得到许多愉快的事情与生活必需品。上述情况在 «古兰经» 中的另一处也曾提到过, 是这样说的: 不论你在何地都有充足的食品 (2:36)。现在注释中的这节经文, 也说明从阿丹起开始出现新的社会秩序, 而且他为创建人类社会进步的新纪元奠定了基础。
