Fruits

فَوَٰكِهُ وَهُم مُّكۡرَمُونَ ۝٤٢

Fruits. And they will be honoured.

Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall

Meaning

Fruits; and they will be honoured.

Insight

According to Elmalılı, there are two subtle points: the people of Paradise eat and drink purely for delight, since fruit is eaten only for pleasure; and they are honoured.

Reflect

Eat a fruit with gratitude today.
