Holy Quran » ASH SHAAFFAAT : 41 - 60

Those will have a provision determined -

Fruits; and they will be honored

In gardens of pleasure

On thrones facing one another.

There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring,

White and delicious to the drinkers;

No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated.

And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes,

As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected.

And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.

A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion [on earth]

Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe

That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed?'"

He will say, "Would you [care to] look?"

And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire.

He will say, "By Allah , you almost ruined me.

If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell].

Then, are we not to die

Except for our first death, and we will not be punished?"

Indeed, this is the great attainment.
