A Sign of Allah 4 The verses of the Holy Quran that I have recited are the last few verses from S u rah al-Kahf. There is seemingly no relevance of the subject matter of one verse to the next in these three verses. One who views them cursorily supposes that each verse deals with a completely different subject. However, the reality is that there is one consistent theme with profound interconnection. The first verse mentions that Allah will grant those who have believed and performed good deeds: 1 ْتَناَك ْمُهَل ُتّٰنَج ِسْوَدْرِفْلا اًلُزُن ۰۰ Gardens of paradise as a hospitality for them. 2 َنْيِدِلٰخ اَهْيِف اَل َنْوُغْبَي اَهْنَع اًلَوِح۰۰ They will remain in these gardens of paradise forever and will never be removed from them. Not only will they never physically be separated from them, but َنْوُغْبَي اَهْنَع اًلَوِح means that they will never become tired or weary of them. Their hunger and desire for these heavens will never become overfull. Their eyes will never tire of their beauty, and these heavens will forever contain sources of pleasure for them. In short, they will stay attached 1. S u rah al-Kahf, 18:108 [Publisher] 2. S u rah al-Kahf, 18:109 [Publisher]
