Transliteration:( Wallazeena aamanoo wa 'amilus saalihaati sanud khiluhum jannaatin tajree min tahtihal anhaaru khaalideena feehaaa abadaa, lahum feehaaa azwaajum mutahharatun wa nudkhiluhum zillan zaleelaa )
“And those who believe and do good deeds [198], We shall soon make them enter Gardens beneath which rivers flow [199], wherein they shall abide forever. For them, there are pure wives [200]. And We cause them to enter a place where there shall be plenty of shade [201].”
By this is meant that all people of Paradise will be granted several Jannats (Gardens).
Different types of Jannah will be rewarded based on different kinds of righteous deeds.
Moreover, these inmates of Paradise will also become heirs to the Jannah that would have belonged to the disbelievers, had they believed. Just as there will be many rivers, there will also be many Gardens.
Every inmate of Paradise will be blessed with several wives, including:
His own believing wife from the world
The Hoories (heavenly maidens) of Paradise
And those believing women whose husbands are sent to Hell
These women will be completely purified from all forms of physical and emotional impurities such as:
Menses
Postnatal bleeding
Spit, snot, filth
Bad temperament
Their perfection and purity will be a part of the eternal bliss of Paradise.
By shade, it is meant that there will be no heat in Paradise, since there will be no sun.
Instead, the entire realm will be illuminated by the Light of Allah.
This shade does not imply protection from heat, but rather represents comfort, peace, and coolness, unique to the ambiance of Paradise.
