Commentators have expressed differing views on What does the word "Zurriyyah" (offspring) mean and on what terms they can join their fathers. It is important to address this issue because how and the terms of this annexation, can play an important role the worldly function and otherworldly expectations of the Muslim. For example, if the understanding of this verse is that believers can join their believer ancestors in Paradise, the motivation to perform and increase the righteous acts among the children of believers is reduced and it is assumed that Muslims They can attain the highest levels of Paradise among their ancestors by attaining a minimal level of faith. Analyzing the commentators' comments suggests that the most appropriate conception of the verse is that we should first, refer “Zurriyyah” only to the children, not to the later generations, and annexation to the meaning of companionship, not to being equal in degree.
