*THE PLEASURES OF PARADISE*
Allah Ta'ala has said in the Quran (translation of meaning): “ *And give good news (O Muhammad) to those who believe and do good deeds, that they will have gardens (Paradise) in which rivers flow....”* (Quran 2:25)
Allah Ta'ala has also said (interpretation): “ *Race one with another for forgiveness from your Lord and for Paradise, whose width is as the width of the heavens and the earth, which has been prepared for those who believe in God and His messengers....* ” (Quran 57:21)
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that a caller will call out in Paradise when people enter it: “ *Indeed may you be healthy and never be sick again, may you live and never die again, may you be young and never grow feeble again, may you enjoy, and never feel sorrow and regret again.* ” (Saheeh Muslim)
Allah Ta'ala says (interpretation of meaning): “ *They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin. But only the saying of: Peace! Peace!”* (Quran 56:25-26)
There will be no enmity between people nor ill-feelings: “ *And We shall remove from their breasts any (mutual) hatred or sense of injury (which they had, if at all, in the life of this world).”* (Quran 7:43)
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “ *The space of the bow of any one of you in Paradise is better than all that the sun rises upon”* (Mishkaat al-Masaabeeh 3/85, no. 5615)
The wine of Paradise, as described by its Creator, is: “ *Crystal-white, delicious to those who drink (thereof), free from intoxication, nor will they suffer intoxication therefrom* ” (Quran 37:46-47)
The water of Paradise does not become brackish, and its milk never changes in flavor: “... *rivers of water incorruptible; rivers of milk of which the taste never changes ..* .” (Quran 47:15)
The women of Paradise are pure and free from menstruation, postnatal bleeding and all the other impurities suffered by women in this world Allah says (interpretation of meaning): “... *and they shall have therein purified mates having no menses, urine, stools, etc.”* (Quran 2:25)
The Prophet (peace be upon him) answered a person when they asked how the people of Paradise will relieve themselves: “ *They relieve themselves by perspiring through their skins, and its fragrance will be that of musk, and all stomachs will have become lean.* ” (Ibn Hibbaan)
What we have mentioned has been a mere comparison in order to understand the nature of Paradise, but as Allah Ta'ala said, its delights are truly hidden: “ *No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy, as a reward for what they used to do* .” (The Quran, 32:17)
Paradise: There is Nothing Like It
The delights of Paradise surpass the imagination and defy description. They are like nothing known to the people of this world; no matter how advanced we may become, what we achieve is as nothing in comparison with the joys of the Hereafter. As is mentioned in several reports, there is nothing like Paradise: " *It is sparkling light, aromatic plants, a lofty palace, a flowing river, ripe fruit, a beautiful wife and abundant clothing, in an eternal abode of radiant joy, in beautiful soundly-constructed high houses* ”.(Ibn Maajah, Ibn Hibbaan)
The Sahabah asked the Prophet about the buildings of Paradise and he replied with a wonderful description: “ *Bricks of gold and silver, and mortar of fragrant musk, pebbles of pearl and sapphire, and soil of saffron. Whoever enters it is filled with joy and will never feel miserable; he will live there forever and never die; their clothes will never wear out and their youth will never fade.* ” (Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi, ad-Daarimee)
The Prophet(Peace be upon him) said that Allah Ta'ala said: “ *I have prepared for My slaves what no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no human heart can imagine.* ”
Recite if you wish:
*“No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do.”* (Quran 32:17)
In another report:
“ *Never mind what Allah has told you; what He has not told you is even greater.”* (Saheeh Muslim)
*"And keep reminding, because reminding benefits the believers."*(51:55)
