We are told that there are rivers of water, of wine, of milk and of honey.


S 47:15 A similitude of the Jannah which the fearers have been promised. Therein are rivers of water that is not stagnant and rivers of milk whose taste has not changed and rivers of wine, delicious to the drinkers, and rivers of clarified honey and theirs therein of all the fruits and forgiveness from their lord like those who abide indefinitely in the fire and have been given to drink boiling water and it has cut their intestines up.


How might rivers of honey remain fluid when exposed to air?


As rivers feed into the sea, are there seas of milk, of honey and of wine?


The founder of Islam spoke of four Earthly rivers that are also in the Jannah.


Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Saihan (Oxus), Jaihan (Jaxartes), Al-Furat (Euphrates) and An-Nil (Nile) are all from the rivers of Jannah." [Muslim].


The Oxus: "Amu Darya, English Amu River, Tajik Daryoi Amu, Turkmen Amyderya, Uzbek Amudaryo, ancient name Oxus River, one of the longest rivers of Central Asia." https://www.britannica.com/place/Amu-Darya


The Jaxartes: "Jaxartes, River (Syr Darya, Sayhun)

River flowing north-west from the Tien Shan Mountains through the *Ferghana Valley to the Aral Sea, mentioned by Strabo" https://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780198662778.001.0001/acref-9780198662778-e-5740
