ربنا وءاتنا ما وعدتنا على رسلك وﻻ تخزنا يوم القيمة إنك ﻻ تخلف الميعاد

Our Lord! Grant us what You promised unto us through Your Messengers and disgrace us not on the Day of Resurrection, for You never break (Your) promise. (3:194)

And they will say: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah Who has removed from us (all) grief. Verily, our Lord is indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Ready to appreciate (good deeds).

نتبوأ من الجنة حيث نشاء

We can dwell in Paradise where we will, meaning, `wherever we want, we can settle; how excellent a reward for our efforts.' In the Two Sahihs, it was reported in the story of the Mi`raj which was narrated by Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet said:

أدخلت الجنة فٳذا فيها جنابذ اللولو وإذا ترابها المسك

I was admitted into Paradise where I saw that its domes were pearls and its soil was musk.''

فنعم أجر العاملين

how excellent a reward for the workers!''
