contradiction in the Qur’an regarding the mention of Paradise in the singular and dual forms

 Content of the doubt:

Some skeptics claim that there is a contradiction between the words of God Almighty: “Indeed, the companions of Paradise, that Day, will be in a state of enjoyment (55)” (Ya Sin), and His words Almighty: “And for him who fears the position of his Lord are two gardens (46)” (Ar-Rahman), and they ask: How is it that “Paradise” is used in a singular form in one place, and “two gardens” in a dual form in another place? They aim behind this to say that the Qur’an is human. The way to

refute the doubt:
There is no contradiction between the two verses, because:
The first verse: “Indeed, the companions of Paradise, that Day, will be in a state of enjoyment (55)” (Ya Sin) was revealed regarding the people of Paradise in general.
The second verse: “And for him who fears the position of his Lord are two gardens (46)” (Ar-Rahman) was revealed regarding a special group of the people of Paradise.

Detail:
Correct understanding of the meaning of the two verses:
1. The first verse specifically addresses the people of Paradise in general:
What is meant by the Almighty’s saying: “Indeed, the companions of Paradise, that Day, will be in a state of enjoyment (55)” (Ya Sin), is the people of Paradise in general, without any distinction or selection. They are busy with the pleasures they are in - which are what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart has conceived - rather than caring about the matter of the disbelievers and their fate in Hell, even if they are their relatives.
It was said: The preoccupation of that day was the breaking of virgins. It was also said: Their preoccupation was listening. It was also said: Their preoccupation was visiting one another. It was also said: Their preoccupation was that they were on that day in the hospitality of Allah - Glory be to Him -
and in the indefiniteness and ambiguity of “bustle” there is a magnification of the joy and enjoyment they are in, and a warning that it is higher than what the minds can comprehend, and the speech expresses its essence.
Allah - the Most High - has explained the natural conditions of the people of Paradise, after explaining the bad conditions of the people of Hell. It will be said to the unbelievers on the Day of Reckoning and Recompense, to increase their regret: The people of Paradise today will be busy and enjoying themselves[1], enjoying what will expand their chests, please their souls, gladden their eyes, and place them in the highest degrees of bliss. He expressed their condition with the emphatic nominal sentence; to indicate the complete establishment of this condition by the grace of Allah, the Most High.
2. The second verse specifically addresses a specific group of the people of Paradise:
As for His Almighty saying: “And for him who fears the position of his Lord are two Gardens (46)” (Al-Rahman), He means to mention a special, distinct group of the people of Paradise, and they are those who fear the position of Allah for questioning and accountability, and they abandon sin out of fear of Allah and shyness before Him... Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Tirmidhi said: A Garden for his fear of his Lord, and a Garden for his abandonment of his desires. Ibn Abbas said: “Whoever fears the position of his Lord after performing the obligatory duties will have two gardens.[2] In the hadith mentioned by Abu Musa al-Ash’ari (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Two gardens of silver, their vessels and what is in them, and two gardens of gold, their vessels and what is in them, and nothing stands between the people and seeing their Lord except the cloak of majesty on His face in the Garden of Eden.[3] It was said: What is meant by the two gardens is: one of them is his home and the place where his companions visit him, and the other is the home of his wives and servants, as is the custom of the leaders of this world. It was said: two homes that he moves from one to the other to provide the reasons for his pleasure and to show the fruits of his honor. How is this compared to someone who wanders between the Fire and a boiling water? It was said: a garden for his faith, and a garden for his work, or a garden for doing good deeds, and a garden for abandoning sins, or a garden in which he is rewarded, and another with which he is favored, or one of them is spiritual and the other is physical. It was said: The Garden of Eden, and the Garden of Bliss[4]. Conclusion:




There is no contradiction between the words of God Almighty: “Indeed, the companions of Paradise, that Day, will be in a state of amusement (55)” (Ya Sin), and His words Almighty: “And for him who fears the position of his Lord are two gardens (46)” (Ar-Rahman), because:
The first verse specifically addresses the people of Paradise in general, without specifying or distinguishing one group or sect over another. They are too busy with their pleasures to care about the matter of the disbelievers and their fate in Hell, even if they are their relatives.
The second verse specifically addresses a specific group of the people of Paradise, who are those who fear the position of God Almighty for questioning and accountability, who are about to commit a sin but remember the position of their Lord and are turned away from it. For them are two gardens.

God created Paradise to accommodate all people, believers and disbelievers, and He created Hell to accommodate all people, believers and disbelievers. So the believer who will enter Paradise that God has determined for him will inherit Paradise that was determined for the disbeliever and the one who entered Hell because of his disbelief, and the disbeliever who entered Hell because of his disbelief will inherit the place of the believer likewise. So there are two Paradises and two Hells, a Paradise that the believer will enter and a Paradise that the believer will inherit
