There will be dark-eyed maidens with them, with eyes reserved
for them alone. (Qur'an, 37:48)
And dark-eyed maidens like hidden pearls. (Qur'an, 56:22-23)
So it will be. We will marry them to dark-eyed maidens. (Qur'an,
44:54)
In them are sweet, lovely maidens. So which of your Lord's
blessings do you both then deny? Dark-eyed, secluded in cool
pavilions. (Qur'an, 55:70-72)

THE PEOPLE OF THE GARDEN ARE YOUNG
Ageless youths will circulate among them, serving them.Seeing
them, you would think them scattered pearls. (Qur'an, 76:19)
And made them purest virgins, devoted, passionate, of like age.
(Qur'an, 56:36-37)

THOSE WHO ENTER IT HAVE TRIUMPHED
Every self will taste death. You will be paid your wages in full on
the Day of Rising. Anyone who is distanced from the Fire and
admitted to the Garden has triumphed. The life of this world is just
the enjoyment of delusion. (Qur'an, 3:185)
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)
But those who believe and do right actions will have Gardens with
rivers flowing under them.That is the Great Victory. (Qur'an, 85:11)
On the Day you see the men and women of the believers, with
their light streaming out in front of them, and to their right: 'Good
news for you today of Gardens with rivers flowing under them,
remaining in them timelessly, for ever.That is the Great
Victory.'(Qur'an, 57:12)
