*What Every Person Needs To Know About Jannah (Paradise)*


*Episode 9*


*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, as-Sunan, Kitaab az-Zuhd, Baab Sifaat al-Jannah, 2/1448, no. 4332. Ibn Hibbaan narrated in his saheeh]


The Sahabah asked the Prophet (Salallahu Alayhi Wasalam) 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, Mishkaat al-Masaabeeh, 3/29, sahih].


Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) indeed spoke the truth when He (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) said: "And when you look there [in Paradise] you will see a delight [that cannot be 

imagined]. and a great dominion" [76:20]


What Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) has kept hidden from us of the delights of Paradise is 

beyond our ability to comprehend: al-Bukhaari reported from Abu Hurayrah (Radi-Allaahu 

Anhu) that the Prophet (Salallahu Alayhi Wasalam) said that Allah (Subhanahu Wa 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."(32:17).

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will p
