A simple and straightforward explanation of this phrase is our Note 002:026a set below.
* Note 002:026a. The words جَنّٰتٍ تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰر appear in the Holy Qor-aan many times. Besides the aforesaid literal meanings, they also carry far deeper and more significant connotations. The visible rewards for good actions are just a fraction of the real blessings that follow in the long run. The moisture from the sub-soil under-current keeps the above-ground growth green and flourishing. Likewise the consequences of good actions keep multiplying even when droughts hit the surface. Far better and log-lasting results keep blossoming out over and over again many times in the future. It is like the 10%-tip of an iceberg with its 90%-body under water which the naked eyes can’t see. ‘Rivers flowing underneath’ provide the additional amount of water when the ground water dries up. ‘Rivers flowing underneath prove to be the life-support when above-ground air is no more moist. This substituted moisture significantly reduces the need of the irrigation water to greenery alive.
