Water of Tasnim?

al-fateh · **Water of Tasnim? -** 04-11-2006

Taken from http://www.al-islam.org/enlightening/47.htm

"And whose mixture is of 'Tasnim' "

"A spring from which drink the ones Nearest (to Allah)".

It is understood from these verses that / tasnim / is the highest drink, among the heavenly pure drinks, which the ones Nearest to Allah drink, only, but the Righteous drink some of / tasnim /, which is mixed with / rahiq /, 'the pure drink sealed', which is another kind of pure drink in Heaven.

Some commentators believe that this pure drink is called / tasnim / because this spring flows down from Heaven, while some others say that it is a special drink which falls from the sky of Heaven.

The heavenly drinks are different, indeed. Some of them flow in rivers, as many verses of the Qur'an point out, such as is found in Sura Mohammad, No. 47, Verse 15: "...rivers of milk...rivers of wine...rivers of honey...".

And some of them are in sealed containers, like the one mentioned in the former verses. The most important one is the drink which falls from Heaven whose name is 'Tasnim', the one that none of the other drinks, in Heaven, can be compared with. Then, the effect that it has on the soul of the Righteous is, consequently, the deepest and the most attractive, whose spiritual pleasure is indescribable.

It is necessary to make note of this truth, again, that these are only some hints to those heavenly facts, indeed, because our human vocabulary cannot describe the unique blessings of Heavens completely. And even more than that, no one can imagine them, as Sura Sajdah. No. 32, verse 17 says: "Now no person knows what delights of the eye are kept hidden (in reserve) for them...".

Does anyone know the meaning of the word Tasnim pertaining to the following verse?

083.027
YUSUFALI: With it will be (given) a mixture of Tasnim:
PICKTHAL: And mixed with water of Tasnim,
SHAKIR: And the admixture of it is a water of Tasnim,

Salam
