In the Hereafter, Humans Will Not Feel Tired, This is the Explanation in the Quran

Dream - Paradise is a place that Allah SWT has prepared in the afterlife for those whose righteous deeds are more abundant. In it, all kinds of pleasures will be obtained by the inhabitants of paradise. Not only food and drink, but also other comforts that were unimaginable before.

One day, a companion asked Prophet Muhammad about the condition of the inhabitants of paradise. Can they sleep? In this regard, Allah SWT has explained through His words in Surah Fatir verse 35:

الَّذِيْٓ اَحَلَّنَا دَارَ الْمُقَامَةِ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖۚ لَا يَمَسُّنَا فِيْهَا نَصَبٌ وَّلَا يَمَسُّنَا فِيْهَا لُغُوْبٌ

Meaning: "It is Allah who has placed us by His favor in an enduring residence [i.e., Paradise] wherein we will not feel fatigue, nor will we feel weariness.” (QS.Fatir: 35)

To understand more clearly the meaning behind the above verse, here is a summary compiled by Dream from various sources.

The Reasons for the Revelation of Surah Fatir Verse 35

Every verse in the Quran certainly has its own reasons why it was revealed. The same goes for Surah Fatir verse 35, which explains the condition of the inhabitants of paradise.

"Abdullah bin Abi Aufa narrated that a man asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, sleep is a blessing from Allah in this world, will we be able to sleep in paradise?' In this regard, the Prophet Muhammad SAW answered, 'No, because sleep is the brother of death, and in paradise, there is no death.' He asked again, 'How about resting for the inhabitants of paradise?' The Prophet Muhammad SAW said, 'There is no fatigue in paradise, everything is comfortable and pleasant.' This verse was revealed to confirm the statement of the Prophet Muhammad SAW." (HR Al-Baihaqi)

Not only in Surah Fatir verse 35, the description of the inhabitants of paradise not feeling tired is also mentioned in Surah Al-Hijr verse 48:

لَا يَمَسُّهُمْ فِيْهَا نَصَبٌ وَّمَا هُمْ مِّنْهَا بِمُخْرَجِيْنَ

Meaning: "They do not feel tired in it, and they will not be expelled from it." (QS.Al-Hijr: 48)

Ibn Kathir explains about the above verse as follows:

"They do not experience any difficulty or disturbance."

Regarding this matter, it can also be seen through a hadith that contains the virtues of the Prophet's wife, Khadijah.

"Once, Gabriel came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, this is Khadijah. She has come to you with a container of food or drink.' 'When she comes to you, convey greetings from Allah and from me to her. Also, inform her that her house in paradise is made of gold and silver, where there is no noise or fatigue.'" (HR. Bukhari, no. 3820 and Muslim, no. 2432).

The Condition of the Inhabitants of Paradise

The inhabitants of paradise are described as being in an honorable condition, free from various heart diseases such as envy, jealousy, anger, and disappointment. They never feel tired, sick, or hungry. They always feel happy and joyful, interacting and being friends with other inhabitants of paradise. Their existence is eternal in paradise and they will never worry about being transferred to an undesirable place.

That is the condition of the inhabitants of paradise with all its comforts. All their needs are fulfilled, and they always have a peaceful feeling in their daily lives. Unlike humans during their life in the world who can still feel tired at any time.
