ENDLESS DELIGHT

Eat and drink with relish for what you did.
(Surat al-Mursalat, 43)

he Qur'an announces that the people of Paradise are
T T blessed with the finest food and various drinks. But since
these people require no nourishment, we can understand that
such food and drink have been created only to give pleasure.
This food resembles the food of this world. The people of
Paradise will express this similarity in the following way:
Give the good news to those who believe and do
right actions, that they will have Gardens with
rivers flowing under them. When they are given
fruit there as provision, they will say: "This is what
we were given before." But they were only given a
simulation of it. They will have there spouses of
perfect purity, and will remain there timelessly,
forever. (Surat al-Baqara, 25)
