PARADISE — THE ETERNAL HOME PROMISED IN THE QURAN

Paradise is described throughout the Quran as good news for those who believe and do righteous deeds. Surah Al-Baqarah opens its description of Paradise with a vivid image: gardens beneath which rivers flow, fruits that are familiar yet new, and pure companions (2:25). Surah Aal-e-Imran couples the call to "race" toward Paradise with its vastness: "as wide as the heavens and earth" (3:133). Surah Ar-Ra'd highlights Paradise's permanence — "its fruits and shade are everlasting" (13:35), the feature that distinguishes it from the transience of worldly blessings. Surah Al-Insan mentions a cup the people of Paradise will drink from, mixed with camphor (76:5) — a small but sensory detail. This collection brings together verses that present Paradise not as an automatic guarantee, but as the reward the Quran promises for faith and righteous action.
