On comfortable couches/ enclosures, looking


This is the other thing they would be looking at that I mentioned in verse 23. They will be redeemed. They will look at those who tormented them in this world, get tormented instead. The oppressed getting justice against his oppressor. Their redemption at the hands of Allah, will provide them additional comfort on top of the many unimaginable blessings Allah had prepared for them. The repetition of this verse is no accident because among the things believers will look at in paradise, two have been explicitly mentioned. Seeing Allah and seeing their oppressors getting punished. Seeing Allah is such a blessing in itself that it deserved a separate verse. Getting redemption from the oppressor holds great importance for the one who has been wronged and hence, it was mentioned separately.
