THERE ARE SHADY PLACES,
            COOL AND REFRESHING
            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)
            Reclining in it on couches, they will experience there neither
            burning sun nor bitter cold. (Qur'an, 76:13)
            And wide-spreading shade. (Qur'an, 56:30)

            THEY DWELL IN NOBLE RESIDENCES AND
            THE HIGH HALLS OF PARADISE
            As for those who believe and do right actions, We will lodge them
            in lofty chambers in the Garden, with rivers flowing under them,
            remaining in them timelessly, for ever. How excellent is the reward
            of those who act (rightly). (Qur'an, 29:58)
            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)
            It is not your wealth or your children that will bring you near to
            Us— only in the case of people who believe and act rightly; such
            people will have a double recompense for what they did. They
            will be safe from all harm in the High Halls of Paradise. (Qur'an,
            34:37)
            But those who have fear of their Lord will have high-ceilinged
            Halls, and more such Halls built one above the other, and rivers
            flowing under them. That is Allah's promise. Allah does not break
            His promise. (Qur'an, 39:20)

            THERE ARE RAISED COUCHES
            Reclining in it on couches, they will experience there neither
            burning sun nor bitter cold. (Qur'an, 76:13)
