Al-Kahf 33: Both gardens had produced fruit and did not leave anything missing. And between both of these, We had made a river gush forth.

Surah Al-Kahf, verse 33 is where we have arrived. Both vineyards yielded their fruit and left none of it lacking. And between them We had made a river gush forth. That is, two vineyards, one belonging to so-and-so, the other to another so-and-so, and on the boundary line of both, a beautifully flowing (?). Picture it like this: one vineyard, its surroundings with date-palm groves surrounded. In between there is a gap, the river. The other is a vineyard, in between, surrounded by date-palm groves. In this case, Allah Almighty presented these blessings of His to these persons. Allah Almighty makes the fruits in both of this vineyard owner's vineyards grow fully and without any lack.

He left none of them lacking. By making a river gush forth between these two vineyards, He has the vineyard of the man He gives as an example watered. And it gave the vineyards beauty, too. That river gives these vineyards a special delight besides. When a person looks and a river flows beside his vineyard, he can never get enough of its delight. In this way, through people's attachment to wealth and to what Allah created, He shows people as an example how they forget Allah Almighty. And at the same time, that Allah, as Possessor of power and might, is aware of the state of all His creatures, He thus shows to all people.
