Shades
They and their wives reclining on couches in the shade. (Surah Ya
Sin, 56)

Breadth of Paradise
Race each other to forgiveness from your Lord and to a Garden,
whose breadth is like that of heaven and earth combined, made ready
for those who believe in Allah and His Messengers. That is Allah's
favour which He gives to those He wills. Allah's favour is indeed im-

DWELLINGS IN HELL
The Most Evil Place to Stay
When he is told to have fear of Allah, he is seized by pride which
drives him to wrongdoing. Hell will be enough for him! What an evil
resting-place! (Surat al-Baqara, 206)
But if anyone opposes the Messenger after the guidance has become
clear to him, and follows other than the path of the believers, We will
hand him over to whatever he has turned to, and We will roast him in
Hell. What an evil destination! (Surat an-Nisa', 115)
Hell, where they will roast. What an evil resting-place! This! So let
them taste it – boiling water and scalding pus. (Surah Sâd, 56-57)
It is the Refuge of Unbelievers
Those who say that the Messiah, son of Maryam, is Allah are disbe-
lievers. The Messiah said, 'Tribe of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and
your Lord. If anyone associates anything with Allah, Allah has forbid-
den him the Garden and his refuge will be the Fire.' The wrongdoers
will have no helpers. (Surat al-Ma'ida, 72)
