Some Attributes of the People of Paradise:
Now, a few attributes of these successful righteous people are being mentioned. The first attribute is that they fulfill their vows. A vow is a promise that a person makes obligatory upon himself. It is obvious that a person who is so careful to fulfill a promise he has made obligatory upon himself will, all the more, be careful to fulfill the promise made to Allah.
[9] ﴿مُسْتَطِيْرٌ﴾ (root ط ی ر) means a calamity that is spread all around, a hardship and affliction that affects the entire atmosphere. When the sun will be brought very close to the earth and, due to the heat and anxiety, people will be in a terrible state. Only those will be safe from the evil of that day who, fearing the evil of that day beforehand, lived as obedient servants of Allah.
