بِسْم الله الرحمن الرحيم
This is the second time Allah mentions that they have fear. One time Allah mentions it about them, the second time it's they who say that they fear.
We have another type of كأس here, it's mixture is زنجبيل
There's a change in context. Allah talks about the Qur'an. Q.nWhat is the relation between this verse (تنزيل القرآن) and the previous context?
Verse 28:
In [54:17]:
Allah made the Qur'an easy to understand, ponder, and act upon. We are only required to put effort in understanding it.
The Surahs before سورة الأعراف have a different way of dealing than the method of study we mentioned. And there are many ways of studying a Surah, this is just a suggested way - but any method of study should have a basis; based on the Qur'an, Sunnah, the Statements of the Salaf, and the Scholars. We accept any way based on evidences. And the more evidences you have for a certain way, the more that study will be more blessed for you.
The most important stage is the stage of Preparation. You have to recite and listen to the Surah many times, focus on the repeated words, the names of Allah, etc.
The repeated words aren't just there to be enumerated. We have to collect the verses in front of us, find the relation, and build up an Aqeedah based on it. And we don't confirm our understanding until we go to the Tafseer.
You read the Surah repeatedly - once to find the repeated words, another to find the names of Allah, etc. You'll find that you need to listen to the Surah repeatedly.
القراء التفهيمية
Try to understand and if you don't, ask questions. If your question is related to the words, you go to the Arabic dictionary. If it is related to the meaning, then go to the Tafseer book.
In Verse 1-3, Allah mentions the creation of man. After he was nothing, Allah created him, tested him - by making him a seer and hearer, and then Allah guided him - by showing him the سبيل. After this, man divided into two categories: شاكر and كفور.
Verse 4:
Allah recompensed the disbelievers by preparing for them on the Day of Judgement: سلاسلا و أغلالا. سعيرا.
Q. What's the difference between سلاسل and أغلال?
Verse 5:
كأس - This was known to the Arabs as a cup of wine. The wine of the hereafter isn't like the wine of this world.
مزاجها كافورا" - How can this كأس be mixed with كافورا?
After Allah mentioned in Verse 3, after he guided man they divided into two categories. Then Allah mentions the كافرين and أبرار. What is the relation between this with Verse 3?
The أبرار are the grateful ones
The Kaafir is the ungrateful one.
Verse 6:
Whenever there's a Spring, we usually say, "He drinks from the spring" (يشرب منها)
In the verse, it says "يشرب بها" (He drinks with the spring)
This indicates that this verse consists of another hidden verb, and the preposition for it is بها.
It means that the أبرار drink and drink until they reach satisfaction. The hidden verb is "يرتوي". They are satisfied and quenched with the spring.
If you connect Verse 5 and 6 without stopping in the middle: It is as if that كافور is a spring.
We're still in the stage of questioning, so put a question mark if it's not clear.
Q. How do the أبرار cause the spring to gush forth? This is something strange in the delight of the people of Paradise.
Q. Allah described the pious as عباد الله in Jannah. What is the wisdom behind that, what does that indicate?

Q. Did the pious say this sentence to the face of the captive, the poor, the orphan, or is Allah mentioning about their state?

"ذللت" is from "ذل" which is humiliated. The trees are humiliated to them. Everything in Jannah is at the service of the pious.
Verse 15:
Allah didn't mention who would pass them with these vessels and cups of silver. Who are passing across them with the vessels? The doer isn't mentioned. Are they the Angels or servants?
