Tafsir jalalayn

in an abode of truth, a place of truth, wherein there is no idle talk or cause for sin -- (the collective noun [maq`ad] is meant here; a variant reading has maq`id, `abodes'), in other words, they are in congregations in Paradise that are free from idle talk and cause for sin, in contrast to the congregations of this world, which are rarely free from such things (syntactically, this statement is considered a second predicate and also a substitution; it [the `abode'] may be understood as being `one of truth' regardless of whether one reads the substitution as being of the part [for the whole] or otherwise); before a King (malk; this form is hyperbolic, that is to say, One of a mighty and vast kingdom) [Who is] Omnipotent, Powerful, Whom nothing can thwart, namely, God, exalted be He (`inda indicates [glorious] rank and closeness to His bounty, exalted be He). Meccan, except for verse 29, which is Medinese; it consists of 76 or 78 verses.

Imam Ahmad recorded that Abdullah bin `Amr said that the Prophet said,

الْمُقْسِطُونَ عِنْدَ اللهِ عَلَى مَنَابِرَ مِنْ نُورٍ عَنْ يَمِينِ الرَّحْمنِ وَكِلْتَا يَدَيْهِ يَمِينٌ الَّذِينَ يَعْدِلُونَ فِي حُكْمِهِمْ وَأَهْلِيهِمْ وَمَا وَلُوا

Verily, the just will be with Allah on podiums of light, to the right of Ar-Rahman, and both of His Hands are right. They are those who are just and fair in their judgement and with their families and those whom they are responsible for.

Muslim and An-Nasa'i also recorded this Hadith.

This is the end of the Tafsir of Surah Al-Qamar. All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and success and immunity from error come from Him
