Surah 37

For them there will be a known provision (in Paradise),

Fruits; and they shall be honoured,

In the Gardens of delight (Paradise),

Facing one another on thrones.

Round them will be passed a cup of pure wine -

White, delicious to the drinkers.

Neither will they have Ghoul (any kind of hurt, abdominal pain, headache, a sin) from that, nor will they suffer intoxication therefrom.

And beside them will be Qâsirât-at-Tarf [chaste females (wives), restraining their glances (desiring none except their husbands)], with wide and beautiful eyes.[4]

(Delicate and pure) as if they were (hidden) eggs (well) preserved.

Then they will turn to one another, mutually questioning.

A speaker of them will say: "Verily, I had a companion (in the world),

Who used to say: "Are you among those who believe (in resurrection after death).

"(That) when we die and become dust and bones, shall we indeed (be raised up) to receive reward or punishment (according to our deeds)?"

(The speaker) said: "Will you look down?"

So he looked down and saw him in the midst of the Fire.

He said: "By Allâh! You have nearly ruined me.

"Had it not been for the Grace of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought forth (to Hell)."

(The dwellers of Paradise will say) "Are we then not to die (any more)?

Except our first death, and we shall not be punished? (after we have entered Paradise)."

Truly, this is the supreme success!
