Jannah
– The Abode of All Believers Life in Jannah Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported, the
Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) said: "The inhabitants of Jannah will eat and drink
therein, but they will not have to pass excrement, to blow their noses or to
urinate. Their food will be digested producing belch which will give out a
smell like that of musk. They will be inspired to declare the freedom of Allah
from imperfection and proclaim His Greatness as easily as you breathe.''
Jannah – A gift from Allah Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) related,
the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) said: "Allah,
the Exalted, states: `I have prepared for my righteous slaves what no eye has
seen, no ear has heard, and the mind of no man has conceived.' If you wish,
recite, `No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy
as a reward for what they used to do.''' (32:17)
Sahl bin Sa`d (May Allah be pleased with him) said, I
was in the company of the Prophet (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon
him). He gave a description of Jannah and concluded with these words: "There
will be bounties which no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no human heart has
ever perceived.'' He (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) then recited
this Verse: "Their sides forsake their beds, to invoke their
Rubb in fear and hope, and they spend (in charity in Allah's Cause) out of what
We have bestowed on them. No person knows what is kept hidden for them of
joy...'' (32:16,17)
The People of Jannah Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) related,
the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) said: "The first group (of people) to enter Jannah will
be shining like the moon on a full-moon night. Then will come those who follow
them who will be like the most shining planet in the sky. They will not stand
in need of urinating or relieving of nature or of spitting or blowing their
noses. Their combs will be of gold and their sweat will smell like musk; in
their censers the aloes-wood will be used. Their wives will be large eyed
maidens. All men will be alike in the form of their father `Adam, sixty cubits
tall.'' Another narration is: The Messenger of Allah (may
Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) said, "Their utensils will be of
gold, their perspiration will smell like musk; every one of them will have two
wives; the marrow of the bones of the wives' legs will be seen through the
flesh out of excessive beauty. They (i.e., the people of Jannah) will neither
have difference, nor enmity (hatred) amongst themselves; their hearts will be
as if one heart, and they will be glorifying Allah in the morning and in the
afternoon.''
Ranks in Jannah Al-Mughirah bin Shu`bah (May Allah be pleased with
him) said, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him)
said: "Musa (peace be upon him) asked his Rabb (Lord):
`Who amongst the inhabitants of Jannah will be the lowest in rank?' He said:
`It will be a person who will be admitted into Jannah last of all when all the
dwellers of Jannah have entered Jannah. It will be said to him: Enter Jannah.
But he will say: O my Rabb! How should I enter while the people have settled in
their apartments and taken their shares? It will be said to him: Will you be
satisfied and pleased if you have a kingdom like that of a monarch of the
world? He will say: I will be content, my Rabb. Allah will say: For you is
that, and like that and like that and like that and like that. He will say at
the fifth time: I am well-pleased, my Rabb. Allah will say: It is for you and
ten times more like it. You will have whatever your soul desires and whatever
your eyes could delight in. He will say: I am well-pleased, my Rabb.' Musa (peace
be upon him) said: `Who will be of the highest rank in Jannah.' Allah said:
`They are those whom I chose and I established their honour with My
Own Hand. I attest with My Seal that they will be blessed with such bounties as
no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no human mind has perceived.''
The Last Person to enter
Jannah Abdullah bin Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him)
reported, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him)
said: "I know of the last of the inhabitants of the
Hell to be taken out from there and the last one to enter Jannah. He is a man
who will come out of the Fire, crawling on all fours. Allah, the Rubb of glory
and honour will say to him: `Go and enter Jannah.' He will go to it and think
that it is full up. He will then come back and say: `O my Rubb, it is full up.'
Allah will say to him: `Go and enter Jannah.' He will again go to it and
think that it is full up. So he will turn back. Allah will again say: `Go and
enter Jannah. For you have what is equal to ten times the world.' He will say:
`Are You making fun of me while You are the King?'' At this I (i.e., the
narrator) saw the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon
him) laugh till his premolars were visible and he said, "Such man will be
the last dweller of Jannah in its lowest rank.''
The Tent in Jannah Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) said, the
Prophet (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) said: "In Jannah the believer will have a tent made of
a single hollowed pearl of which the length will be sixty miles in the sky. The
believer will have his wives with him and he will visit them and they will not
be able to see one another.''
The Tree of Jannah Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him)
said: The Prophet (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) said,
"There is a tree in Jannah that is so huge that if a rider of a swift horse
has to cover its distance from one end to another in one hundred years, he will
not be able to do so.'' Another narration from Abu Hurairah (May Allah be
pleased with him) is: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s blessings and peace
be upon him) said, "A rider will not be able to cross its (the tree's)
shade even after travelling for one hundred years.''
The Highest Status in
Jannah Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him)
said: The Prophet (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) said: "The dwellers of Jannah will look at those in the
upper abodes above them as you look at a shining star which remains in the
eastern or western horizon; such will be the difference in superiority which
some of them have over others.'' The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s blessings
and peace be upon him) was asked: "Will those be the dwellings of the
Prophets which no one else will be able to reach?'' He (may Allah’s blessings
and peace be upon him) replied, "Yes, but by Him in Whose Hand my soul is!
Men who believed in Allah and acknowledged the truthfulness of the Messengers
will reach them.''
Comparison of Jannah to
this World Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said, the
Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) said, "A
space in Jannah equal to the distance between the middle and the end of a bow
will be better than all that upon which the sun rises and sets.''
The Market In Jannah Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) said, the
Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) said: "In Jannah there is a market to which the people
will come every Friday. The northern wind will blow and shower fragrance on
their faces and clothes and, consequently, it will enhance their beauty and
loveliness. They will then return to their wives who will also have increased
in their beauty and loveliness, and their families will say to them: `We swear
by Allah that you have been increased in beauty and loveliness since leaving
us.' Thereupon they will reply: `We swear by Allah that you have also been
increased in beauty and loveliness since we left you.''
Jannah is For Eternity Abu Sa`id and Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with
them) reported, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon
him) said: "When the
dwellers of Jannah enter Jannah, an announcer will call: (You have a promise
from Allah that) you will live therein and you will never die; you will stay healthy
therein and you will never fall ill; you will stay young and you will never
become old; you will be under a constant bliss and you will never feel
miserable.''
Every Wish will come True Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said, the
Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) said: "The lowest place of any of you in Jannah will be
that Allah will tell him to express his wish. He will wish and wish again.
Allah will then ask him: `Have you expressed your wish?' He will answer: `Yes,
I have.' Allah will say: `You will have what you have wished for and the like
thereof along with it.''
Allah’s Eternal Pleasure Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him)
said, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him)
said: "Allah, the Rabb (Lord) of honour and glory, will
say to the inhabitants of Jannah: `O inhabitants of Jannah!' They will respond:
`Here we are! At Your service, O our Rabb. All good is in Your Hand!' He will
ask them: `Are you pleased?' They will reply: `Why should we not be pleased, O
Rabb, when You have given us what You have not given to any of Your creatures?'
Allah will say: `Shall I not give you something better than that?' They will
ask: `O Rabb! What can be better than that?' Allah will say: `I shall bestow My
(eternal) Pleasure upon you and I shall never be displeased with you.''
The Greatest Blessing Jarir bin `Abdullah (May Allah be pleased with him)
reported, we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s blessings
and peace be upon him) when he looked at the full moon and observed, "You
shall see your Rubb in the Hereafter as you are seeing this moon; and you will
not feel the slightest inconvenience in seeing Him.''
