Siesta in Jannah

 *Siesta in Jannah*

----------------

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

I listened to one scholar on 📡 satellite, giving a Tafseer of Surah Furqan, verse 24.

أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَيْرٌ مُّسْتَقَرًّا وَأَحْسَنُ مَقِيلًا

"The companions of Paradise, that Day are [in] a better settlement and better resting place." 📚 Al-Furqaan (25:24)

Now,

After listening to the scholar, the following questions jumped into my mind:

(1) Does the dwellers of Paradise have some rest, siesta or sleep immediately after been admitted into paradise? If yes,for how long? And why?

(2) Does the dwellers of hellfire also observe siesta or rest after been admitted into the hell?

📚 After some research and few consultations, I feel this write-up should go viral to serve as a morale booster, so that we will not only strive to work harder to gaining access into paradise, but pray hard to be admitted into paradise.

My People,

The people of Hell will go down to the lowest levels and continual regret, with all kinds of punishments and torments. Allah (swt) say:

إِنَّهَا سَأءَتْ مُسْتَقَرّاً وَمُقَاماً

"Evil indeed (Hell) is as an abode and as a place to rest in for the wrong doers".📚 Q25:66

But as for the dwellers of Paradise, Allah (swt) say:👇

أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَيِذٍ خَيْرٌ مُّسْتَقَرًّا وَأَحْسَنُ مَقِيلً

"The dwellers of Paradise will, on that Day, have the best abode, and have the fairest of places for repose".

Sa`id bin Jubayr said: "Allah will finish the Judgement halfway through the Day, and the people of Paradise will take their mid day rest in Paradise and the people of Hell in Hell.

Muslim Faithful,

After the long years of Barzakh life (I mean life in the grave), waking up from the grave and rushing to the judgement ground, working through the Siraat, long time standing on the judgement ground waiting for Allah to pass the judgement, we will be tired.. So, those who will be fortunate to be admitted into paradise will enter the jannah seriously tired and exhausted. They will have a siesta for a period of 70years 😳. Yes according to the sheikh quoted above. After which, proper and endless enjoyment will begin.

👉 Ikrimah said:~ "I know the time when the people of Paradise will enter Paradise and the people of Hell will enter Hell. It is the time which in this world is the time when the late forenoon starts and people go back to their families to take a siesta. The people of Hell will go to Hell, but the people of Paradise will be taken to Paradise and will have their siesta in Paradise, and they will be fed the liver of a whale and they will all eat their fill".

But after the first siesta, there will be no more sleep.  The envy will be removed from the chests of the Mu’mineen before they enter Paradise. They will stop on a Siraat bridge after they have crossed the Siraat. They will retaliate with each other for the complaints they have between themselves. Then, the envy will be removed from their chests. And they will enter Paradise with the highest degree of purity. Evidence: - 📚Surah Al-Hijr (15):47

May Allah (swt) bless us with HIS JANNAH. Ameen Ya Rabb. But we have to work hard for it. We say Amen each time prayer for Jannah is made BUT we feel lazy to wake up at night for Tahajjud, We blame bad economy when it comes to giving charity, we still see light and pleasure in listening to 🎶 music and watching Haram programmes on 📺 television, etc. We must all work hard  Check 📚 Aal-i-Imraan (3:142)

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 ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...

The story of taqwa

 The story of taqwa. Taqwa means fear of Allah. There once lived a young woman who was very beautiful lady and had all the qualities a man needed. She was well covered and oneday ,she was attacked with her families. This woman was taken away and brought to a man who was the bandits leader. As she was brought, the man wanted to sleep with her as she was so sad and in pain. As she undressed and coming to her, she said fear Allah and know death can come to you now. If you have a mother or sister like me, don't disgrace and destroy my honor for I won't forgive you  The leader immediately remembered he had a sister he loved a lot and so he quickly stopped and dressed and said to the lady, you can go. All the bandits were amazed of what their leader did. Three days later,the man whose sister was there and everyone in the sister knew her brother was wicked man. So every man was sacred. So a stranger walking by saw his sister and he felt in love with her. She went to her and said I wa...
