“If you do not produce such a chapter and you never will then guard yourselves against the fire whose fuel will be people and stones and is prepared for those who hide the Truth. (Muhammad), tell the righteously striving believers of the happy news, that for them there are gardens wherein streams flow. Whenever they get any fruit from the gardens as food, they will say, ‘This is just what we had before (we came here). These fruits are produced very much like them (those we had before).’ They will have purified spouses and it is they who will live forever.”
