Who wouldn't want Paradise?

Paradise.. Jannah..Heaven! It seems like a dream...but its reality! Just as we were born...there comes life..then comes death..followed by the eternal life! Now, tell me, who wouldn't want eternal life...not only life..but happiness?? Here we are in this temporary world, which comes along with sadness, happiness, anxieties, stresses and all sorts of ups and downs, and in which we live in for only about 70yrs or 80yrs if were lucky. And what is our purpose of living this life?? How often do you think about it during a typical day? Is it always at the back of your mind that at the end of the day, everything you do will be judged by Allah...who will then make the decision of whether we should go to Paradise or Hellfire based on our rewards and sins. Just as we would study so much until our brains pop to ace an exam, we should do the same for the best reward we could ever have..eternal happiness! And when you really think about it..its not so hard! We have the instructions and guidance all in the Quran and Sunnah.

Its like having an open book test! Now thats not so hard! Not only that, but if we follow the Quran and Sunnah, it will benefit us both in this world and the next! Alhamdulillah! Allah has given us everything..he has given us another day to live..to do good..given us another chance to gain Paradise! Imagine having an open book test and given the chance to do it until a certain date..in which the mistakes we did the previous day is erased if we make it up by doing really good in something else. This is what this life is all about...even if we make mistakes, we can ask for forgiveness and Allah the Almighty is Al-Ghaffar (the Ever Forgiving)!

Now, let me give you an insight to what Paradise is like ( only the tip of the iceberg..and nothing our human mind can even imagine!)

When Mu'min will enter into Jannah, it will be announced

1. You will remain healthy forever, disease will never come.

2. You will remain alive for ever, death will never come.

3. You will remain in bounties which will never be finished.

For their service 80,000 young boys will be moving around looking like beautiful scattered pearls. One bunch of dates will be equal to the length of 12 arms. The size of a date will be equal to the big pitcher. These will be whiter than milk, sweeter than honey and softer than butter and freeOf seeds. The stem of these plants will be made up of gold and silver. There will also be gar dens of grapes. The bunches of grapes will be very big. The size of a single grape will be equal to a big pitcher.

Someone asked, ya Rasulullah (Sallalahu alaihi wasallam): Will it be sufficient for me and my family. It was answered, it will be sufficient for you and your whole tribe.

The Dresses of Jannat

The dress of Jannah will be very beautiful. One will wear 70 dresses at a time.

The Jahannnum requests Allah that "O, Allah, save him from Jahannum".
