You will recognize in their faces, radiance of pleasure.


The person being addressed is the reader - you and me. This is a common way of speech in Arabic when describing great matters. When you see their faces, you will realize that they are owners of blessings and comfort.

Radiance of pleasure is to be understood as radiance from pleasure. They looked at Allah and the bliss and serenity they experienced from it was so much that it came out. It is bliss and pleasure that does not remain hidden inside, but comes out and is visible. The bliss they feel, makes their faces shine with light, and makes them beautiful, and soft.74
