AAaynan yashrabu biha AAibadu Allahi yufajjiroonaha tafjeeran

It will be from a fountain, whence the bondmen of Allaah-SWT will drink, causing it to gush abundantly.

In The Name of Allah-SWT the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
SECRETS OF REVELATION:

For human being there has been a time when there was no mention of him. It was so before the creation of Prophet Aadam-AS and it is true for every individual before his birth, for no one knows about him nor even mentions him.

 

Creation of Man


Then Allaah-SWT created him from a mixed seed. The infidels' belief that a human being scatters away after death is negated here as he is even more scattered before birth. Allaah-SWT gathers the particles which would constitute his body in the form of grain and food and takes them to his would be father. Thereafter the particles meant for someone else are separated to form the seed.

 

He-SWT passes the embryo through various stages and fashions it into a human being of wisdom and awareness. Then, He-SWT arranges for his guidance and gives him the power to obey or deny. If he chooses the latter, he would be ultimately cast in Hell manacled and chained. And the obedient will be fabulously rewarded. Delicious drinks with a mixture of camphor will be served to them. They will have springs of various drinks under their command that will flow at their behest as a reward for meeting their pledges even for voluntary charity.

 

Voluntary Charity


The pledge of voluntary charity (Namr or Mannaf) is permitted in matters allowed by Shari'ah, save what is otherwise obligatory, like Salat, Fasting, Zakat etc. Other than that, one may pledge Nawafil, or voluntarily fasting, or an act of charity, which once done must be fulfilled.

 

The believers referred to are those who honoured their voluntary undertakings, and who would surely be observing what Allaah-SWT has enjoined. They feared the Day when punishments would gush forth and engulf the infidels like a deluge. Their economic and financial system was subservient to Allaah-SWT . They used to feed the poor, the orphan and the captives (even an infidel) to please Him-SWT . They expected nothing in return, not even a word of gratitude, from the beneficiary as they did it just to please Allaah-SWT . They were afraid of Allah-SWT and the Day of Judgement, and expected a Divine shelter on this extremely saddening and hard day.

 

They will be blessed with exuberance and joy. In other words, the Day of Judgement will be extensive in punishment, as well as in pleasure. Those who persevered in Allah-SWT's obedience will be rewarded in the form of exquisite gardens, where clad in silken they would be reclining against soft and fluffy cushions. The weather will be very pleasant, and nothing will hinder their enjoyment in any way. Beautiful trees with soothing shadows and branches heavy with fruits will be at their service. Servants will be around carrying drinks for them in transparent silver goblets filled in splendid manner. This shall include a drink with a mixture of dry ginger, from the spring named Salsabil, which will be served by young, charming lads as good looking as pearls.

 

The Servants in Jannah will also include Adolescents


To serve the dwellers of Jannah, handsome young boys, created especially for this purpose, who will remain constant in age, would also serve them inside their dwellings. The scholars also assert that the minor children of infidels will be employed as servants in Jannah. Every dweller will look like a king, as the stretch of his villa will be compatible to any kingdom. Clad in the finest dark green silk, they will be wearing bracelets of silver and will enjoy delicious drinks as Allah-SWT's guests.
