He has prepared for them Gardens beneath which rivers flow therein they will abide for ever. Allah says in the Holy Quran: “ And of those who led the way the first of the Emigrants (Muhajirun) and the Helpers (Ansar), and those, who followed them in the best possible manner Allah is well-pleased with them and they are well pleased with Allah.
