               selves. Yet these descriptions include only a portion of the blessings
               that Allah keeps hidden in paradise for those who believe.
                 Allah has prepared Gardens for them with rivers flowing under
               them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever. That is the great victory.
               (Surat at-Tawba, 89)
                 But as for those who believe and do right actions, their Lord will
               guide them by their faith. Rivers will flow under them in Gardens of
               Delight. (Surah Yunus, 9)
                 But Allah will admit those who believe and do right actions into
               Gardens with rivers flowing under them where they will be adorned
               with gold bracelets and pearls, and where their clothing will be of silk.
               (Surat al-Hajj, 23)
                 What is the Garden promised to those who guard against evil like? It
               has rivers flowing under it and its foodstuffs and cool shade never fail.
               That is the final fate of those who guard against evil. But the final fate
               of the disbelievers is the Fire. (Surat ar-Ra'd, 35)

                 Garden of Refuge
                 He saw him again another time by the Lote-tree of the Final Limit,
               beside which is the Garden of Refuge. (Surat an-Najm, 13-15)
                 Gardens of Eden
                 Gardens of Eden which they will enter, and all of their parents,
               wives and children who were righteous. Angels will enter in to wel-
               come them from every gate. (Surat ar-Ra'd, 23)
                 They will enter Gardens of Eden where they will be adorned with
               gold bracelets and pearls, and where their clothing will be of silk.
               (Surah Fatir, 33)
                 Gardens of Eden, whose gates will be open to them. (Surah Sâd, 50)
                 Gardens of Firdaws
                 ... who will inherit Firdaws, remaining in it timelessly, for ever.
               (Surat al-Mu'minun, 11)
                 Gardens
                 As for those who believed and did right actions, they will be made
               joyful in a garden. (Surat ar-Rum, 15)
