Ginger
وَيُسۡقَوۡنَ فِيهَا كَأۡسࣰا كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنجَبِيلًا ١٧
There are they watered with a cup whereof the mixture is of Zanjabil.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And they will be given a cup mixed with ginger.
Insight
Elmalılı explains “zanjabil” as the familiar fragrant spice that gives some drinks a pleasant taste and scent; first a cup mixed with camphor, here one mixed with ginger, is mentioned.
Reflect
Notice the taste of something with gratitude today.
