They will be reclining on couches lined with rich brocade, the
           fruits of the Gardens hanging close to hand. (Qur'an, 55:54)


           THERE ARE RIVERS FLOWING
           But as for those who believe and do right actions, We will admit
           them into Gardens with rivers flowing under them, remaining in
           them timelessly, for ever and ever. In them they will have spouses
           of perfect purity and We will admit them into cool, refreshing
           shade. (Qur'an, 4:57)
           He will forgive you your wrong actions and admit you into
           Gardens with rivers flowing under them, and fine dwellings in
           the Gardens of Eden.That is the Great Victory. (Qur'an, 61:12)
           An image of the Garden which is promised to those who guard
           against evil: in it there are rivers of water which will never spoil
           and rivers of milk whose taste will never change and rivers of
           wine, delightful to all who drink it, and rivers of honey of
           undiluted purity;in it they will have fruit of every kind and
           forgiveness from their Lord. Is that like those who will be in the
           Fire timelessly, for ever, with boiling water to drink which lacerates
           their bowels? (Qur'an, 47:15)
           Blessed be He Who, if He wishes, will grant you better than that:
           Gardens with rivers flowing under them; and He will grant you
           Palaces. (Qur'an, 25:10)

           THERE ARE SPRINGS FLOWING
           In them are two clear flowing springs. (Qur'an, 55:50)
           The people with heedfulness will be amid shade and fountains
           (Qur'an, 77:41)
           In it there is a flowing spring called Salsabil. (Qur'an, 76:18)

           THERE IS GREENERY EVERYWHERE
           Shaded by spreading branches. (Qur'an, 55:48)
           Of deep viridian green. (Qur'an, 55:64)
