Whenever any of <strong>Heaven</strong>’s dwellers desire fruit, a tree will approach<br />
him <strong>and</strong> lower an entire branch for his comfort <strong>and</strong> when he chooses<br />
to st<strong>and</strong> it will automatically move itself back to an appropriate<br />
distance.<br />
Tafs|r Ibn Kath|r<br />
Unimaginably enjoyable, flow rivers of wine, water, honey <strong>and</strong> milk,<br />
Drinking from them are heaven’s dwellers uniformed in gold <strong>and</strong> silk.<br />
‘Verily those who believe <strong>and</strong> perform good deeds, indeed they<br />
are the best of creation. <strong>The</strong>ir reward, from their Lord will be<br />
eternal gardens, beneath which flow rivers. <strong>The</strong>y will abide<br />
therein forever, eternally.’ al Bayyinah<br />
‘Such a <strong>Heaven</strong> has been promised to those who abstain from<br />
sin. In which will be rivers of pure untouched water, <strong>and</strong> rivers<br />
of pure milk the taste of which will be unadulterated, <strong>and</strong> rivers<br />
of wine pleasing <strong>and</strong> enjoyable for the drinkers, <strong>and</strong> rivers of<br />
pure undiluted sweet honey. For them will be every kind of fruit.<br />
And they will be granted forgiveness from their Lord.’ Mu#ammad<br />
Water, one of the greatest gifts of All\h I upon his creation will also be<br />
a great favour in <strong>Heaven</strong>. All\h I has made it such that in this world<br />
waters from different places taste differently, the water of Zamzam,<br />
spring water <strong>and</strong> river water all vary in taste. Some waters taste better<br />
than others. In <strong>Heaven</strong> the water will taste sweeter than honey <strong>and</strong> will<br />
always be at a refreshingly cool temperature.<br />
Milk, in heaven, will be a dazzling radiant white, free flowing yet<br />
unnaturally creamy <strong>and</strong> indescribably sweet.<br />
Wine will be enjoyable yet it will not intoxicate nor will it cause<br />
headaches or hangovers.<br />
