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)
