The Holy Quran 57:21 — Surah Al-Hadid

Arabic text

سَابِقُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ مَغْفِرَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا كَعَرْضِ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ أُعِدَّتْ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلْفَضْلِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

Translation

(Instead of chasing after the things of this world, rather) Race towards the forgiveness of your Rabb and a Jannah, the width of which is like that of the sky and the earth. (The length is unimaginable.) It has been prepared for those who believe in Allaah and His Rusul. This (forgiveness and Allaah's pleasure) is the grace of Allaah which He gives to whoever He desires. Allaah is the Possessor of immense grace.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Race towards forgiveness and Paradise: that is, before death prepare that by which shortcomings will be forgiven and Paradise attained. Sluggishness and delay in this matter are not fitting. that is, if the heaven and the earth were both put together, the breadth of Paradise would be equal to that. How great its length will be, Allah alone knows.
