And therein will they be given to drink a cup tempered with ginger,
Commentary:
زنجبیل (ginger) is a compound of زنی (meaning to ascend) and جبل (meaning mountain). The compound word زنجبیل therefore means, "he ascended the mountain." زنجبیل or ginger is the root of a plant, very useful in promoting the natural heat of the body. The name given to it points to this property, for it gives strength to and generates heat in the weak body so as to enable a person to ascend precipitous heights. These two verses in which کافور (camphor) and زنجبیل (ginger) are respectively spoken of call attention to the two stages through which a believer has to pass in order to make advance, from the low position of slavery to passion, to the heights of virtue and righteousness. The first stage is that in which poisonous materials are suppressed and the flood of passions begins to subside. This we term the کافور (camphor) stage; for in this stage what is effected is only the suppression of poisonous matter, just as کافور has the property of nullifying the strong effect of passion. But the spiritual power which is required to overcome all difficulties is acquired in the second stage which is called the زنجبیل stage. The spiritual ginger (زنجبیل) which has the effect of a tonic on the spiritual system is the manifestation of Divine Beauty and Glory which affords nourishment to the soul. Braced with this manifestation, the spiritual wayfarer is able to traverse the dreary deserts and to climb the steep heights to be met with on his spiritual journey. To make men understand these two spiritual stages two words have been employed by the Quran, viz. کافور or that which suppresses poisonous matters and زنجبیل or that which gives strength to ascend spiritual heights and overcome all difficulties in the spiritual journey. Whereas at the کافور (camphor) stage the righteous will themselves drink the wine of God’s love, at the much higher زنجبیل (ginger) stage they will be served with this elixir.

The word Zanjabil, being a compound of Zana (to ascend) and Jabal (mountain) signifies, he ascended the mountain. Zanjabil or ginger is very useful in promoting the natural heat of the body. It gives strength to and generates heat in the weak body so as to enable a person to ascend precipitous heights. The two verses, in which Kafur (camphor) and Zanjabil (ginger) are mentioned, are meant to call attention to the two stages through which a believer has to pass in order to make spiritual advance from the low position of slavery to passions to the heights of virtue and righteousness. The first stage in which poisonous matter is suppressed and the flood of passions begins to subside is termed the Kafur (camphor) stage; for in this stage only the suppression of poisonous matter is effected just as camphor has the property of nullifying the strong effect of passion.
