Cups Set Ready
وَأَكۡوَابࣱ مَّوۡضُوعَةࣱ ١٤
And goblets set at hand.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And cups set in place.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, these are handleless vessels and cups placed near them so they can drink whenever they wish: nothing the people of Paradise want is kept waiting.
Reflect
Today, notice someone’s need and meet it before they ask.
