And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord, and a garden as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous.
“And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord, and a garden as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous.”
Rush to do good actions, and draw near to Allah through doing as He instructs, so that you achieve the great forgiveness of Allah and enter a Paradise as wide as the heavens and the earth, which Allah has prepared for the Mindful.
The plain meaning, from Al-Mukhtasar fi at-Tafsir
وَسَارِعُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ مَغْفِرَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ أُعِدَّتْ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden i.e., Paradise as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous
What does Quran 3:133 mean?
The verb is one of speed. The verses just before forbid consuming interest and command obedience — and then comes this, told not to walk towards forgiveness but to race for it. The scale of what is being raced for is given deliberately: a garden as wide as the heavens and the earth, and it is described as already prepared, waiting rather than being built.
