the following verses:
                 So Allah has safeguarded them from the evil of that Day,
                 has made them meet with radiance and pure joy, and will
                 reward them for their steadfastness with a garden and with
                 silk. Reclining in it on couches, they will experience nei-
                 ther burning sun nor bitter cold. Its shading branches will
                 droop down over them, its ripe fruit hanging ready to be
                 picked. Vessels of silver and goblets of pure crystal will be
                 passed round among them, crystalline silver—they have
                 measured them very exactly. They will be given a cup to
                 drink mixed with the warmth of ginger. In it is a flowing
                 spring called Salsabil. Ageless youths will circulate among
                 them, serving them. Seeing them, you would think them
                 scattered pearls. Seeing them, you see delight and a great
                 kingdom. 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.
                 “This is your reward. Your striving is fully acknowledged.”
                 (Surat al-Insan, 76:11-22)
