As for those, who have believed in Our Revelations and have done righteous deeds, We will admit them to Gardens underneath which canals flow, wherein they will abide for ever, wherein they will have pure spouses, and We will admit them into thick wide shades.
And give good news (O Muhammad), to those who believe in this Book and do good deeds (in accordance with its teachings). For them there will be gardens underneath which canals flow. Their fruits will so resemble the fruits on the Earth that every time they will be provided with fruits, they will say, "Such fruits were provided to us before on the Earth. "And there will be pure spouses for them and therein they will live for ever.
On that Day it will be said to those who had believed in Our Revelations and surrendered themselves, "O My servants! Today you have nothing to fear, nor will there be any cause for you to grieve. Enter Paradise, you and your wives. You will be made happy!" There they will have trays and cups of gold passed round to them and there they will have everything that the souls can desire and the eyes can delight in. It will be said to them, "You will live here for ever. You have inherited this Paradise by virtue of the deeds you did in the world. You have abundance of fruit here, which you will eat."
The God-fearing will be in a secure place, in the gardens and springs, dressed in silk and brocade, sitting face to face. Such will be their station! And We will wed to them fair-complexioned, gazelle-eyed hoors (women with big beautiful eyes). There, in full peace, they will ask for all kinds of tasty things. There they will never taste death, after their first death (of this world), and Allah by His grace will protect them from the torment of Hell. This is the supreme success!

For the righteous there is indeed an excellent resort: everlasting Gardens whose gates will remain open to them. Therein they will be reclining, calling for plentiful of fruit and drink, and beside them there will be modest wives of equal age. These are the things which you are being promised for the Day of Reckoning. This is Our provision. It will never come to an end.

And for everyone who dreads to stand before his Lord there are two gardens. O which of your Lord's blessings will you deny? Full of lush green branches. O which of your Lord's mercies will you deny? In both two springs of running water. O which of your Lord's blessings will you deny? In both there will be two kinds of every fruit. O which of your Lord's blessings will you deny?

The dwellers of Paradise shall be reclining on carpets lined with thick silk, and the branches of the gardens will be hanging down (on them) with fruit. O which of your Lord's blessings will you deny? Amidst these blessings will be those of bashful looks (chaste wives), whom neither man nor jinn will have touched before them. O which of your Lord's bounties will you deny? As beautiful as rubies and pearls. O which of your Lord's bounties will you deny?

Could the reward of goodness be anything but goodness? Then, O jinn and men, which of your Lord's praiseworthy attributes will you deny?

And besides those two, there will be two other gardens. O which of your Lord's bounties will you deny? Dark-green and well-watered. O which of your Lord's blessings will you deny? In both two gushing springs. O which of your Lord's favors will you Deny ? In them plenty of fruit, and dates and pomegranates. O which of your Lord's blessings will you deny? Amidst these blessings chaste and beautiful wives. O which of your Lord's bounties will you deny? Hoors (beautiful-eyed women) kept in their tents. O which of your Lord's blessings will you deny? No man or jinn will have touched them before them. O which of your Lord's blessings will you deny? They will be reclining on green cushions and fine, rich carpets. O which of your Lord's bounties will you deny?

Full of blessings is the name of your Lord, Owner of Glory and Honor!

And the foremost ones will still be the foremost. They will be those nearest (to God). They will abide in the Gardens of bliss. Most of them will be among the former people and a few from among those of later ones. They will be reclining on jeweled couches facing each other. Immortal boys will go round them briskly with brimful goblets and beakers and cups of wine from a flowing spring, which will neither cause them giddiness nor affect their sense. And they will present before them every kind of tasty fruit, whichever they may choose; and the flesh of fowls, whichever they may desire. And for them there will be beautiful-eyed hoors (women), as lovely as well-guarded pearls. All this they will receive in reward for what they had done in the world. There they will neither hear vain talk nor sinful speech. Whatever they hear shall be right and pure.

And the people of the right hand. Oh, how fortunate will be the people of the right hand! They will be among thornless lote-trees, and piled up bananas, one upon the other, and outspread shade and ever flowing waters and abundant fruits neither failing in supply nor forbidden, and in upraised couches. We will create their wives anew and make them virgins, lovers of their husbands and of equal age. All this is for the people of the right hand.

The righteous will be in Gardens and Bliss, rejoicing in what their Lord will give them; and their Lord will save them from the torment of Hell. (It will be said to them:) "Eat and drink with relish as a reward for what you have been doing." They will be reclining on couches, facing each other, and We will wed them to hoors (fair handsome women) with beautiful eyes.

Those who have believed and their offspring also have followed in their footsteps in degrees of faith, We will join to them those of their offspring also (in Paradise) and will not deprive them of anything of their deeds. Every person is a pledge for what he has earned. We will go on providing them well with fruits and meat, such as they may desire. They will zealously be passing from hand to hand a cup of wine which will neither contain idle talk nor immorality. And there will go round to them young boys, exclusively appointed for their service, who will be as lovely as- well-guarded pearls. They will turn to one another and ask (about their worldly lives). They will say, "Before this we lived among our families, in fear and dread (from the punishment of Allah). Consequently, Allah has been bounteous to us and has saved us from the torment of the scorching wind. Indeed, we used to invoke Him only in our previous life. Most surely He is the Beneficent, the Merciful."

Surely for the righteous there is an abode of success. Gardens and vineyards and maidens of equal age and brimful cups. There they shall neither hear vulgar talk nor any falsehood, a reward and sufficient gift from your Lord, from the All-Merciful God, Who is the Owner of the heavens and the earth and of everything lying between them, before Whom none can have the power to speak.
But the chosen servants of Allah (will remain safe from the evil end). For them there is a known provision: tasteful things of all kinds and gardens of delight wherein they will be lodged with honor. They will sit face to face on couches: cups filled from fountains of wine will be passed round to them, of crystal white drink, delicious for those who drink it. Neither will they be harmed physically thereby nor become drunk. And beside them there will be chaste women with beautiful eyes, restraining their glances, delicate as the thin skin hidden under the egg shell.
(On this Day) the inmates of Paradise are absorbed in enjoying bliss. They and their wives are in thick shades, reclining upon couches: they have all kinds of tasteful foods and whatever they may desire. They have been greeted with `Peace' from the Merciful Lord.
