Surah Al-Jinn
Paper-cut picture from Surah Al-Jinn: a wide river full of clear water flowing through green fields and palm groves at dawn, a waterfall pouring in from rocks
Al-Jinn 72:14–17

Abundant water

وَأَنَّا مِنَّا ٱلْمُسْلِمُونَ وَمِنَّا ٱلْقَٰسِطُونَ ۖ فَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ تَحَرَّوْا۟ رَشَدًۭا ١٤ وَأَمَّا ٱلْقَٰسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا۟ لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًۭا ١٥ وَأَلَّوِ ٱسْتَقَٰمُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسْقَيْنَٰهُم مَّآءً غَدَقًۭا ١٦ لِّنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ ۚ وَمَن يُعْرِضْ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِۦ يَسْلُكْهُ عَذَابًۭا صَعَدًۭا ١٧

Surah mind map
The meaning, simply

Among us are Muslims and among us are wrongdoers; whoever submits has chosen the right path, and the wrongdoers are fuel for Hell. If people stayed upright on Islam, We would give them plenty of water to drink, to test them; and whoever turns away from his Lord's remembrance, He will put into a hard punishment.
