as-Salamu'alaykum wa Rahmatullah, ponder upon Surah al-Kawthar.
What is al-Kawthar?
“Verily, We have granted you (O Muhammad) Al-Kawthar (a river in Paradise)”
[Surah al-Kawthar 108:1]
He sallahu alayhi wa salam said : “It is a river that my Lord has promised to me in which there is much goodness.
[Saheeh Muslim; 607]
Its description:
“Al-Kawthar is a river in Paradise. Its banks are made of gold and its bed is of pearls and rubies…”
[Saheeh Sunan al-Tirmidhi, 3/135]
Who will drink from it?
The Prophet sallahu alayhi wa salam said : "it is a cistern to which my ummah will come on the Day of Resurrection.”
And insha'allah, after the believers drink from it, they will never thirst again : "..whoever drinks from it will never thirst again.”
[Saheeh Muslim; 4244]
How big is it?
He sallahu alayhi wa salam said: “My fountain is as big as the distance between San’a’ and Madinah; its drinking cups are as many as the planets or stars.”
