Ar-Ra'd 13:35

Word by word

۞ مَّثَلُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ٱلَّتِى وُعِدَ ٱلْمُتَّقُونَ ۖ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ ۖ أُكُلُهَا دَآئِمٌ وَظِلُّهَا ۚ تِلْكَ عُقْبَى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوا۟ ۖ وَّعُقْبَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٱلنَّارُ

The example [i.e., description] of Paradise, which the righteous have been promised, is [that] beneath it rivers flow. Its fruit is lasting, and its shade. That is the consequence for the righteous, and the consequence for the disbelievers is the Fire.

صفة الجنة التي وعد الله بها الذين يخشونه أنها تجري من تحت أشجارها وقصورها الأنهار، ثمرها لا ينقطع، وظلها لا يزول ولا ينقص، تلك المثوبة بالجنة عاقبة الذين خافوا الله، فاجتنبوا معاصيه وأدَّوا فرائضه، وعاقبة الكافرين بالله النار.
