A Treasury of The Qur’an
THEIR EFFORTS WILL BE REWARDED
~ 68 ~
be served with silver dishes, and beakers as large as
goblets; silver goblets which they themselves shall
measure; and cups brimful with ginger-flavoured
water from the Fount of Salsabil. They shall be
attended by boys graced with eternal youth, who, to
the beholder’s eyes will seem like sprinkled pearls.
When you gaze upon that scene you will behold a
kingdom blissful and glorious. They shall be
arrayed in garments of fine green silk and rich
brocade, and adorned with bracelets of silver. Their
Lord will give them pure beverage to drink. Thus
you shall be rewarded; since your endeavour in life
shall meet with goodly acceptance.
(76:2-22)
