Muslim01 Posted September 6, 2008 as-Salamu'alaykum wa Rahmatullah, ponder upon Surah al-Kawthar. What is al-Kawthar? “Verily, We have granted you (O Muhammad) Al-Kawthar (a river in Paradise)” [surah al-Kawthar 108:1] He sallahu alayhi wa salam said : “It is a river that my Lord has promised to me in which there is much goodness. [Saheeh Muslim; 607] Its description: “Al-Kawthar is a river in Paradise. Its banks are made of gold and its bed is of pearls and rubies…” [Saheeh Sunan al-Tirmidhi, 3/135] Who will drink from it? The Prophet sallahu alayhi wa salam said : "it is a cistern to which my ummah will come on the Day of Resurrection.” And insha'allah, after the believers drink from it, they will never thirst again : "..whoever drinks from it will never thirst again.” [Saheeh Muslim; 4244] How big is it? He sallahu alayhi wa salam said: “My fountain is as big as the distance between San’a’ and Madinah; its drinking cups are as many as the planets or stars.” [Saheeh al-Jami as-Saghir; 3160] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
