The Holy Quran 47:15 — Surah Muhammad

Arabic text

مَّثَلُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ٱلَّتِى وُعِدَ ٱلْمُتَّقُونَ ۖ فِيهَآ أَنْهَـٰرٌ مِّن مَّآءٍ غَيْرِ ءَاسِنٍ وَأَنْهَـٰرٌ مِّن لَّبَنٍ لَّمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ طَعْمُهُۥ وَأَنْهَـٰرٌ مِّنْ خَمْرٍ لَّذَّةٍ لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ وَأَنْهَـٰرٌ مِّنْ عَسَلٍ مُّصَفًّى ۖ وَلَهُمْ فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ ۖ كَمَنْ هُوَ خَـٰلِدٌ فِى ٱلنَّارِ وَسُقُوا۟ مَآءً حَمِيمًا فَقَطَّعَ أَمْعَآءَهُمْ

Translation

The description of the Jannah that the people of Taqwa have been promised is that it has rivers of water that never putrefy (and will never be contaminated nor deteriorate in quality), rivers of milk (perfect, delicate food) the taste of which never spoils (never goes off), rivers of (pure) wine (for joy and delight) that is extremely palatable to those who drink it (without intoxicating them) and rivers of the purest honey. (For all aliments) The people there shall also have every type of fruit and forgiveness from their Rabb. Can these people ever be like those who will live forever in the Fire and who are given boiling water to drink which tears (pulls down) their internal organs to shreds?

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The rivers of Paradise: that is, neither through long standing nor through being mixed with anything has its smell changed. It is sweeter than honey and whiter than milk. No kind of change can find its way to it. The rivers of milk: that is, do not compare it with the milk of this world: even after so long a time its taste has not changed.
