Holy Quran » ATH THUUR : 21 - 40

And those who believed and whose descendants followed them in faith - We will join with them their descendants, and We will not deprive them of anything of their deeds. Every person, for what he earned, is retained.

And We will provide them with fruit and meat from whatever they desire.

They will exchange with one another a cup [of wine] wherein [results] no ill speech or commission of sin.

There will circulate among them [servant] boys [especially] for them, as if they were pearls well-protected.

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

They will say, "Indeed, we were previously among our people fearful [of displeasing Allah ].

So Allah conferred favor upon us and protected us from the punishment of the Scorching Fire.

Indeed, we used to supplicate Him before. Indeed, it is He who is the Beneficent, the Merciful."

So remind [O Muhammad], for you are not, by the favor of your Lord, a soothsayer or a madman.

Or do they say [of you], "A poet for whom we await a misfortune of time?"

Say, "Wait, for indeed I am, with you, among the waiters."

Or do their minds command them to [say] this, or are they a transgressing people?

Or do they say, "He has made it up"? Rather, they do not believe.

Then let them produce a statement like it, if they should be truthful.

Or were they created by nothing, or were they the creators [of themselves]?

Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Rather, they are not certain.

Or have they the depositories [containing the provision] of your Lord? Or are they the controllers [of them]?

Or have they a stairway [into the heaven] upon which they listen? Then let their listener produce a clear authority.

Or has He daughters while you have sons?

Or do you, [O Muhammad], ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?
