Commentary
And when the decree was: the Paradise for which the workers work, His saying indicates its greatness with the tool of distance: "And that is the Paradise" meaning the high status. And when the inheritance is more suitable for ownership, and the aim of souls is towards the ability in something absolutely not distant, His saying: "You have been made to inherit it" was established for the one who is acted upon. And when what a person has obtained by his striving is more delightful in his soul due to his joy in enjoying it and in the work that was the cause of it, He said: "By what" and clarified that the work was for them like the nature upon which they were created. So the favor is truly for their Lord in what He has purified their souls by His saying: "You were working" meaning you were persistent in that and did not cease.
