Garden in the verses of the Qur'an

•    (O Muhammad!) Give the good news to those who believe and do right actions that they will have Gardens with rivers flowing under them. When they are given fruit there as provision, they will say, 'This is what we were given before.' But they were only given a simulation of it. They will have there spouses of perfect purity and will remain there timelessly, for ever. (Surat al-Baqara, 25)

•    We said, ‘Adam, live in the Garden, you and your wife, and eat freely from it wherever you will. But do not approach this tree and so become wrongdoers.’." (Surat al-Baqara, 35)

•    Their Lord responds to them: ‘I will not let the deeds of any doer among you go to waste, male or female–you are both the same in that respect.

The best of all rewards is with Allah.’" (Surah Al‘Imran, 195)

•    Those believers who stay behind–other than those forced to by necessity–are not the same as those who strive in the Way of Allah, sacrificing their wealth and themselves.

Allah has promised the best to both, but has preferred those who strive over those who stay behind by an immense reward. (Surat an-Nisa’, 95)

•    As for those who believe and do right actions–We impose on no self any more than it can bear–they are the Companions of the Garden, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. We will strip away any rancor in their hearts. Rivers will flow under them and they will say, ‘Praise be to Allah Who has guided us to this! We would not have been guided, had Allah not guided us. The Messengers of our Lord came with the Truth.’ It will be proclaimed to them: ‘This is your Garden which you have inherited for what you did.’ The Companions of the Garden will call out to the Companions of the Fire, ‘We have found that what our Lord promised us is true. Have you found that what your Lord promised you is true?’ They will say, ‘Yes, we have!’ Between them a herald will proclaim: ‘May the curse of Allah be on the wrongdoers.’ There will be a dividing wall between them and on the ramparts there will be men who recognize everyone by their mark. They will call out to the people of the Garden: ‘Peace be upon you!’ They will not have yet entered it, though they hope. When they turn their eyes towards the Companions of the Fire, they will say, ‘Our Lord, do not place us with the people of the wrongdoers!’(Surat al-A’raf, 42-47)

•    Are these the people you swore that Allah’s mercy would never reach?’ ‘Enter the Garden. You will feel no fear and know no sorrow.’ The Companions of the Fire will call out to the Companions of the Garden, ‘Throw down some water to us or some of what Allah has given you as provision.’ They will say, ‘Allah has forbidden them to the disbelievers.’ (Surat al-A’raf, 49-50)

He has prepared Gardens for them with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever and ever. That is the great victory. (Surat at-Tawba, 100)

•    Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their wealth in return for the Garden. They fight in the Way of Allah and they kill and are killed. It is a promise binding on Him in the Torah, the Gospel and the Qur’an and who is truer to his contract than Allah? Rejoice then in the bargain you have made. That is the great victory. (Surat at-Tawba, 111)

•    But as for those who believe and do right actions, their Lord will guide them by their faith. Rivers will flow under them in Gardens of Delight.

•    To the righteous (when) it is said, "What is it that your Lord has revealed?" they say, "All that is good." To those who do good, there is good in this world, and the Home of the Hereafter is even better and excellent indeed is the Home of the righteous,- Gardens of Eden which they enter, with rivers flowing under them, where they have whatever they desire.

They will enter the Garden and they will not be wronged in any way: Gardens of Eden which the All-Merciful has promised to His servants in the Unseen. His promise is always kept.

That is the Garden which We will bequeath to those of Our servants who guard against evil. (Surah Maryam, 60-63)

All that is said is, ‘Peace! Peace!’ And the Companions of the Right: what of the Companions of the Right? Amid thornless lote-trees and fruit-laden acacias and wide-spreading shade and outpouring water and fruits in abundance never failing, unrestricted.

(Surat at-Talaq, 11)

•    You who believe! Repent to Allah. It may be that your Lord will erase your bad actions from you and admit you into Gardens with rivers flowing under them on the Day when Allah will not disgrace the Prophet and those who believed along with him. Their light will stream out ahead of them and on their right. They will say, ‘Our Lord, perfect our light for us and forgive us! You have power over all things.’ (Surat at-Tahrim, 8)

•    Allah has made an example for those who believe: the wife of Pharaoh when she said, ‘My Lord, build a house in the Garden for me in Your presence and rescue me from Pharaoh and his deeds and rescue me from this wrongdoing people.’ (Surat at-Tahrim, 11)

•    The people who guard against evil will have Gardens of Delight with their Lord. (Surat al-Qalam, 34)

•    As for him who is given his Book in his right hand, he will say, ‘Here, come and read my Book! I counted on meeting my Reckoning.’ He will have a very pleasant life in an elevated Garden, its ripe fruit hanging close to hand. ‘Eat and drink with relish for what you did before in days gone by!’ (Surat al-Haqqa, 19-24)

•    …such people will be in Gardens, highly honored. Now what is the matter with the Unbelievers that they rush madly before thee- From the right and from the left, in crowds? Does each one of them aspire to be admitted into a Garden of Delight? (Surat al-Ma'arij 35-38)

•    Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds. Except the Companions of the Right Hand. (They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they will question each other. (Surat al-Muddaththir, 38-40)

•    So Allah has safeguarded them from the evil of that Day and has made them meet with radiance and pure joy. and will reward them for their steadfastness with a Garden and with silk. Reclining in it on couches, they will experience there neither burning sun nor bitter cold. Its shading branches will droop down over them, its ripe fruit hanging ready to be picked. Vessels of silver and goblets of pure crystal will be passed round among them, crystalline silver–they have measured them very exactly. They will be given there a cup to drink mixed with the warmth of ginger. In it there is a flowing spring called Salsabil. Ageless youths will circulate among them, serving them. Seeing them, you would think them scattered pearls. Seeing them, you see delight and a great kingdom. They will wear green garments of fine silk and rich brocade. They will be adorned with silver bracelets. And their Lord will give them a pure draught to drink. ‘This is your reward. Your striving is fully acknowledged.’ (Surat al-Insan, 11-22)

•    But as for him who feared the Station of his Lord and forbade the lower self its appetites, the Garden will be his refuge. (Surat an-Nazi'at, 40-41)

•    … when the Garden is brought up close: then each self will know what it has done. (Surat at-Takwir, 13-14)

•    As for the Righteous, they will be in bliss. (Surat al-Infitar, 13)

•    On Thrones (of Dignity) will they command a sight (of all things)(Surat al-Mutaffifin, 23)

•    And whenever they saw them, they would say, "Behold! These are the people truly astray!" (Surat al-Mutaffifin, 32)

•    But those who believe and do right actions will have Gardens with rivers flowing under them. That is the Great Victory. (Surat al, Buruj, 11)

•    Some faces on that Day will be radiant, well-pleased with their efforts in an elevated Garden where no prattle is ever heard. In it is a gushing spring and raised-up couches, and set-out goblets, and lined-up cushions, and spread-out rugs. (Surat al-Ghashiyya, 8-16)

•    ‘O self at rest and at peace, return to your Lord, well-pleasing and well-pleased! Enter among My servants! Enter My Garden.’ (Surat al-Fajr, 27-30)

•    But those who believe and do right actions–they are the best of creatures. Their reward is with their Lord: Gardens of Eden with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever and ever. Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. That is for those who fear their Lord. (Surat al-Bayyina, 7-8)
