Transliteration:( Yutaafu 'alaihim bisihaa fim min zahabinw wa akwaab, wa feehaa maatashtaheehil anfusu wa talazzul a'yunu wa antum feehaa khaalidoon )
"There shall be dishes passed around them and cups of gold and goblets [124] therein shall be everything the heart's desire [125] and eyes delight (126) in, and therein you shall remain forever. (127)"
This verse describes the young male servants of Paradise presenting pure drinks in golden cups. Because the inhabitants of Paradise sit in circles, these lively servants move gracefully among them, serving the delights of Paradise. This depicts the eternal ease and luxury awaiting the righteous.
The people of Paradise will only desire what is good and pure, free from any base or evil inclinations. Their hearts will be free from all lower desires that plague the worldly life, thus their wishes will be wholesome and fulfilled in perfect harmony.
The delights include beautiful gardens, flowing rivers, charming companions, and most importantly, the vision of the Holy Prophet ﷺ and ultimately Allah Almighty—the highest and most treasured blessing. The yearning of the righteous for this ultimate vision is a profound expression of their love for Allah and His Messenger.
Unlike the temporary fruits and pleasures of this world, the bounties of Paradise are everlasting, without death or destruction. Allah Almighty says, “Fruits are everlasting,” emphasizing the eternal nature of the rewards promised to the believers.
