Where Believers Live In Paradise 57

where they will be adorned with gold bracelets
and pearls, and where their clothing will be of silk.
(Surat al-Hajj, 23)
They will wear green garments of fine silk and rich
brocade. They will be adorned with silver bracelets.
And their Lord will give them a pure draught to drink.
(Surat al-Insan, 21)
As this verse maintains, beautiful jewelry complements
fine clothing, and both offered for the pleasure of believers.
The basic quality of the materials in Paradise is their var-
ied delicacy and striking beauty, both of which are reflections
of Allah's eternal knowledge and artistry. For example,
thrones are inlaid with precious stones and arranged carefully
in high places; clothing is made of silk and brocade, and
adorned with gold and silver ornaments.
Allah has given many details about Paradise in the Qur'an,
but the expressions that He has used allow believers to use
their imagination open. In Paradise, (Allah surely knows best)
every believer will have all kinds of blessings, views, and places
especially designed for his or her own pleasure. Of course,
apart from the blessings announced in the Qur'an, Allah has
prepared many more surprises for believers, whom He has
made worthy of Paradise.
