5849 Cf. above, lxxvi. 5-6, and n. 5835, where the Cup of Kafur (Camphor) was mentioned for coolness and refreshment to
the Righteous, who had just passed the great Event of Judgment. The second stage is described in verses 12-14, when
they enter the Garden in Garments of Silk, and find that their former humility in the probationary life is rewarded with high
honour in the new world they have entered. The third stage is in verses 15-21, where they settle down in Bliss, with
Garments of fine silk and heavy brocades, with Ornaments and Jewels, with an ordered Feast of set service, and the Cup
of Zanjabil. This word literally means Ginger. In Eastern medicine Ginger is administered to give warmth to the body and
zest to the taste; this is appropriate for the Royal Feast which is now figured forth. (76.17)
ZINA:
24:2 - The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication flog each of them with a hundred
stripes: let not compassion move you in their case in a matter prescribed by Allah if ye believe
in Allah and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.

2954 Zina includes sexual intercourse between a man and a woman not married to each other. It therefore applies both to
adultery (which implies that one or both of the parties are married to a person or persons other than the ones
concerned) and to fornication, which, in its strict signification, implies that both parties are unmarried. The law of
marriage and divorce is made easy in Islam, so that there may be the less temptation for intercourse outside the welldefined
incidents of marriage. This makes for greater self-respect for both man and woman. Other sex offences are
also punishable, but this Section applies strictly to Zina as above defined. Although zina covers both fornication and
adultery, in the opinion of Muslim jurists, the punishment laid down here applies only to unmarried persons. As for
married persons, their punishment, according to the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be on him), is stoning to death.
(24.2)
2955 Cf. iv. 15, and n. 523. (24.2)
2956 The punishment should be open, in order to be deterrent. (24.2)

If this Surah is read in the sequence of the Surahs beginning with Az-Zilzal, one can fully
well understand how the fundamental beliefs of Islam and its teachings were impressed on
the peoples minds in the earliest stage in Makkah. In Surah Az-Zilzal, it was said that in the
Hereafter man's full record will be placed before him and not an atom's weight of good or evil
done by him in the world will have been left unrecorded.
