Question about verse 39, Surat Al-Zumarٌ

[Ummu Sufyaan]

:sl:

"وقالوا الحمد لله الذي صدقنا وعده وأورثنا"

039.074
YUSUFALI: They will say: "Praise be to Allah, Who has truly fulfilled His Promise to us, and has given us (this) land in heritage

As far as i understand, hertiage implies that it belonged to someone else. For example when someone passes away, another inherites their belongings, etc. Now, my logic tells me (based on the above verse) that the Jannah belongs to someone already. If my reasoning is correct, who have the inhabitants of Jannah inhertied Jannah from? i.e who did it/who does it belong to?

please provide daleels.

REALLY we can't say anything just reading the translation, we should learn Arabic, in which the QURAN WAS REVEALED.
BUT, I HOPE U WILL get an answer to yopur question after reading this translation.
39:74 And they will exclaim: “All praise is due to God, who has made His promise to us come true, and has bestowed upon us this expanse [of bliss] as our portion, so that we may dwell in paradise as we please!” And how excellent a reward will it be for those who laboured [in God’s way]!

Dwellers of Jannat WILL say this that God possessed this Jannah & now HE gave it to us like someone inherits to others.

So Jannah belong to ALLAH & HE will inherit it to righteous. It is NOT necessary for one to die in order to inherit, one can give away his property etc during his lifetime. So Allah is eternally living & will give away Jannah to righteous.

I'm no muslim, but to me it would seem Jannat belongs to God, no?

i think jannah belongs to Allah (swt) innit and the pious people whom who choses, like the hoors and stuff

and when it means land in heritage i think i think, its like Allah saying the people will say thanks to Allah (swt) for giving them a space in jannah innit . . .
