THE LAKE-FOUNT (ALKAUTHAR)

 

Allah (SWT) will honor His Slave and Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him) on the great scene by giving him a lake-fount to which the Ummah of the chosen Prophet (peace be upon him) will proceed. Whoever will drink from it will never be thirsty thereafter.

Narrated ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Amr that Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "My Lake-Fount is (so large that it takes) a month's journey to cross it. Its water is whiter than milk, and its smell is nicer than musk (a kind of perfume), and its drinking cups are (as numerous) as the (number of) stars of the sky; and whoever drinks from it will never be thirsty."[16]
