Zikr Allah, March 23, 2013 7:30 pm Come sit with friends in the garden, Which of the favors of your Lord will you deny?

Is there any Reward for Good other than Good? (60) Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny? (61) And besides these two, there are two other Gardens― (62) Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny? (63) Dark green in colour (from plentiful watering). (64) Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny? (65) In them (each) will be two springs pouring forth water in continuous abundance: (66) Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny? (67) In them will be Fruits, and dates and pomegranates: (68) Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny? (69)

Surah-ar-Rahman Qu'ran 55:60-69

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Whoever is sitting with friends
is in the midst of a flower garden,
though he may be in the fire.Whoever sits with an enemy is in the fire,
even though he is in the midst of a garden.

Har keh bâshad ham-neshin-e dustân
hast dar golkhan miyân-e bustân
Har keh bâ doshman neshinad dar zaman
hast u dar bustân dar gulkhan
