Transliteration:( Wa yutaafu 'alaihim bi aaniyatim min fiddatinw wa akwaabin kaanat qawaareeraa )
"And they shall be made to go round about them vessels of silver and goblets of crystal[22]."
✅ [22] The Setting of Paradise
In Paradise, the righteous will be served in a setting of luxury and comfort, with vessels of silver and goblets of crystal.
These vessels symbolize the purity, beauty, and high status of Paradise, where the inhabitants will enjoy their drinks in a heavenly environment.
The verse suggests that the inhabitants of Paradise will be sitting in circles, emphasizing unity and closeness.
This is in line with the circle formation of gatherings in Islam, such as the Holy Prophet’s ﷺ gatherings, which were also in circle formation, symbolizing a pure and divine gathering.
✅ The Circle Formation in Islamic Gatherings
Even today, Islamic gatherings, such as Zikr, lectures, and meals, should be held in a circle to imitate these heavenly gatherings.
However, for Salaah, rows are maintained as a reflection of the angels, who stand in rows while worshipping Allah.
