إِنَّ الَّذِينَ امَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّالِحَاتِ وَأَخْبَتُواْ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ

أُوْلَـيِكَ أَصْحَابُ الجَنَّةِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ

When Allah, the Exalted, mentioned the condition of the wretched, He also commended the people of delight (the believers). They are those who believe and work righteous deeds. Thus, their hearts believed and their limbs worked righteous deeds, both in statements and actions. This includes their performance of deeds of obedience and their abandonment of evils. In this way they are the inheritors of Gardens (of Paradise),

which contain lofty rooms and seats arranged in rows.

Therein they will find bunches of fruit near to them, elevated couches, fair and beautiful wives, various types of fruit, desired kinds of food and delicious drinks.

They also will be allowed to see the Creator of the heavens and the earth and they will be in this state of pleasure forever.

They will not die, nor will they grow old.

They will not experience sickness, nor will they sleep.

They will not have excrement, nor will they spit or snot.

Their sweat will be the perfume of musk.
