as they enter the blazing Fire

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

well pleased with their labour,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

88:10

in a lofty garden,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

88:11

where they will hear no idle talk,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

88:12

with a flowing spring,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

raised couches,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

88:14

goblets placed before them,

cushions set in rows,
