A description of the Garden promised to the righteous: therein are rivers of water which corrupts not; and rivers of milk of which the taste changes not; and rivers of wine, a delight to those who drink, and rivers of clarified honey. And in it will they have all kinds of fruit, and forgiveness from their Lord. Can those who enjoy such bliss be like those who abide in the Fire and who are given boiling water to drink so that it tears their bowels?

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اُس جنت کی مثال جس کا متقیوں کو وعدہ دیا جاتا ہے (یہ ہے کہ) اُس میں کبھی متعفن نہ ہونے والے پانی کی نہریں ہیں اور دودھ کی نہریں ہیں جس کا مزا متغیر نہیں ہوتا اور شراب کی نہریں ہیں جو پینے والوں کے لئے سراسرلذت ہے۔ اور نہریں ہیں ایسے شہد کی جو خالص ہے۔ اور ان کے لئے اُس میں ہر قسم کے پھل ہوں گے اور ان کے رب کی طرف سے عظیم مغفرت بھی۔ کیا (ایسے لوگ) اُس جیسے ہو سکتے ہیں جو آگ میں لمبے عرصہ تک رہنے والا ہو اور کھولتا ہوا پانی انہیں پلایا جائے پس وہ ان کی انتڑیاں کاٹ کر رکھ دے۔

French

Voici une description du Jardin qui a été promis aux pieux : il s’y trouve des rivières d’eau qui ne se corrompt point ; et des rivières de lait dont le goût ne change point ; et des rivières de vin, un délice pour ceux qui boivent, et des rivières de miel clarifié. Et ils y auront des fruits de toutes espèces, ainsi qu’un pardon de leur Seigneur. Ceux qui jouissent d’une telle félicité peuvent-ils être pareils à ceux qui séjournent dans le Feu, et à qui l’on donne de l’eau bouillante à boire, de sorte qu’elle déchire leurs entrailles ?

German

Ein Gleichnis von dem Paradiese, den Rechtschaffenen verheißen: Darin sind Ströme von Wasser, das nicht verdirbt, und Ströme von Milch, deren Geschmack sich nicht ändert, und Ströme von Wein, köstlich für die Trinkenden, und Ströme geläuterten Honigs. Und darin werden sie Früchte aller Art haben und Vergebung von ihrem Herrn. Können sie wohl denen gleich sein, die im Feuer weilen und denen siedendes Wasser zu trinken gegeben wird, das ihre Eingeweide zerreißt?

Chinese

[e]敬畏者受到许诺的天园的情况是这样的: 那里有不腐的水河, 不变味的乳河, 使饮者欣喜的酒河, 纯洁的蜜河。在天园中他们将有各种水果, 将获得他们养主的宽恕。(难道他们享受这样幸福的人) 能与居住在火狱而不得不饮那使肠断的滚水的人是一样的?

Italian

Una descrizione del giardino promesso ai giusti: in esso vi sono fiumi d'acqua che non si corrompe; e fiumi di latte il cui sapore non muta; e fiumi di vino, una delizia per chi ne beve, e fiumi di miele purificato. Ed in esso troveranno ogni specie di frutta, e il perdono del loro Signore. Quelli che godono di tale delizia possono forse essere uguali a coloro che abitano nel fuoco e ai quali è data da bere acqua bollente che lacera le loro viscere?

Spanish

He aquí una descripción del Jardín prometido a los justos: en él hay ríos de agua que no se corrompe; ríos de leche cuyo sabor no cambia; ríos de vino, una delicia para quienes lo beben, y ríos de miel clara. En él tendrán toda clase de frutas y el perdón de su Señor. ¿Acaso quienes disfrutan esta felicidad son iguales que quienes moran en el Fuego, a quienes se da agua hirviendo para beber, que deshace sus entrañas?

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

متقیوں سے جن جنتوں کا وعدہ کیا گیا ہے ان میں ایسے پانی کی نہریں ہونگی جس میں سڑنے کا مادہ نہیں ہوگا اور ایسی نہریں ہونگی جن میں ایسا دودھ چلتا ہوگا جس کا مزا کبھی نہیں بدلے گا (یعنی وہ بھی نہیں سڑے گا) اور ایسی شراب کی نہریں ہونگی جو پینے والوں کو مزے دار لگیں گی اور پاک و صاف شہد کی نہریں بھی ہونگی اور ان کو ان جنتوں میں ہر قسم کے پھل بھی ملیں گے اور اپنے رب کی طرف سے مغفرت بھی ملے گی (کیا یہ جنتی) ان لوگوں کی طرح ہو سکتے ہیں جو کہ دیر تک آگ میں رہنے کے مستحق قرار دیئے گئے ہیں اور جن کو ایسا گرم پانی پلایا جائے گا جو ان کی انتڑیوں کو کاٹ دے گا۔

Important Words:

أنھار (rivers) is the plural of نھر which is inf. noun from نھر (nahara) which means, it flowed or flowed with force. نھر means, a river, a brook, a stream. The word also means, amplitude, or light and amplitude (Lane).

عسل (honey) is inf. noun from عسل (‘asala). عسل الطعام means, he prepared the food with honey. They say عسله i.e. he made him an object of eulogy; he made him an object of love to men. عسل means, honey; flowers or blossoms because honey is made therefrom; a good or righteous deed, the eulogy for which a person is deemed sweet (Lane).

Commentary:

The verse mentions four kinds of favours and blessings promised to believers in this and the next life, i.e. rivers of pure water, rivers of milk of which the taste does not change, rivers of wine which gives delight and rivers of clarified honey. The word أنھار which has been used four times in the verse, besides other senses, signifies light and amplitude; and عسلamong other things, means a good or righteous deed which wins for the doer the love and esteem of men. In view of the signification of these two words the verse may mean that the four things mentioned will be given to the righteous in plenty: viz. water which is the source of all life (21:31); milk which, besides giving health and vigour to the body, stands for spiritual knowledge; wine which gives pleasant sensations and forgetfulness of worries; and honey, being the means of curing many a disease, represents good and righteous deeds which make the believers beloved of men. Taken in the physical sense, i.e. pertaining to the present life, the verse would signify that in the present life the believers will have in plenty all those things which make life pleasant, delightful and useful; and taken symbolically and in a spiritual sense, it would mean that believers will have a full life, they will be endowed with spiritual knowledge, will drink the wine of God’s love and will do deeds that will win for them love and esteem of men.

پرہیز گاروں کے لیے جس جنت کا وعدہ کیا گیا ہے اس کی شان تو یہ ہے کہ اس میں نہریں بہہ رہی ہوں گی نتھرے ہوئے پانی کی، نہریں بہہ رہی ہوں گی ایسے دودھ کی جس کے مزے میں ذرا فرق نہ آیا ہو گا، نہریں بہہ رہی ہوں گی ایسی شراب کی جو پینے والوں کے لیے لذیذ ہوگی، نہریں بہہ رہی ہوں گی صاف شفاف شہد کی اُس میں اُن کے لیے ہر طرح کے پھل ہوں گے اور اُن کے رب کی طرف سے بخشش (کیا وہ شخص جس کے حصہ میں یہ جنت آنے والی ہے) اُن لوگوں کی طرح ہو سکتا ہے جو جہنم میں ہمیشہ رہیں گے اور جنہیں ایسا گرم پانی پلایا جائے گا جو ان کی آنتیں تک کاٹ دے گا؟

This is the similitude of Paradise which the godfearing have been promised: therein are rivers of water unstaling, rivers of milk unchanging in flavour, and rivers of wine -- a delight to the drinkers, rivers, too, of honey purified; and therein for them is every fruit, and forgiveness from their Lord -- Are they as he who dwells forever in the Fire, such as are given to drink boiling water, that tears their bowels asunder?
