Hauzu'l-Kausar

Hauzu'l-Kausar

In Islamic context, the Hauzuʾl-Kausar is the "lake of abundance" in Jannah (paradise). Persons having crossed the As-Sirāt arrive at this lake, from which one is expected drink to forget any bad experiences they may have had during their lives, before moving further into paradise.

As the term "kausar" only occurs once in the Qurʾan, its' exact meaning is subject to different interpretations. It is also known as the "lake of good" the "pond of Muhammad" and the "sacred fountain of heaven".
