﴿ كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَآ أَسْلَفْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْخَالِيَةِ ﴾

“[And all who are thus blest will be told:] "Eat and drink with good cheer in return for all [the good deeds] that you have sent ahead in days gone by!"”

�Eat and drink in enjoyment [as a reward] for what you did formerly in days gone by.�This is referring to fasting during the month of Ramadan and during the days of the full moon. It has been mentioned in a ḥadīth that on the Day of Reckoning, tables spread with food will be placed before those believers who devoted themselves to fasting (ṣawwām), from which they will eat. [Others] will say, �O Lord, people are standing for the Reckoning who are not eating.� They will be told, �[These people] used to fast at length during the life of the world, while you ate your fill, and they would stay up at night in prayer while you took your rest.�
