سُوْرَةُ مُحَمَّدٍ
Surah Muhammad (47) — Ayah 12
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُدْخِلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ ۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يَتَمَتَّعُونَ وَيَأْكُلُونَ كَمَا تَأْكُلُ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمُ وَٱلنَّارُ مَثْوًى لَّهُمْ ﴿12﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Certainly Allâh will admit those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, to Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise); while those who disbelieve enjoy themselves and eat as cattle eat; and the Fire will be their abode.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
Indeed, Allah will admit those who believe and do righteous deeds into gardens beneath which rivers flow. But those who disbelieve enjoy themselves for a little while and eat as cattle [13] eat, and their abode will be the Fire.

The Eating and Drinking of Disbelievers is Like That of Animals:
This sentence has two aspects. One is that just as cattle do not distinguish whether their food comes from lawful or unlawful sources, similarly, disbelievers also do not care for such distinction. Cattle eat whatever they find, without distinguishing between their own and others; moreover, strong animals snatch and eat the food of weaker ones by force. The same is the case with disbelievers. The second aspect is that the purpose of eating for animals or cattle is nothing more than to satisfy their hunger and to sustain their lives. The purpose of eating for disbelievers is also just that. Beyond this, they do not think about why Allah has given us so much more intellect and discernment compared to cattle.
