The Life In Jannah (The Paradise)

 by : John Smith

Allah Ta’ala has made this world for our test., He has set this word as an examination hall and every one of us has to pass the test in order to Jannah (The Paradise). Allah Ta’ala states in Quran: “He Who created Death and Life, that He may try which of you is best in deed: and He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving”.

This is for sure that life and death is for our test. The time all of us would spend here in this world would actually define our life after death, it will define either we would go to Jannah or jahanum (The Hell Fire).

Many people (even Muslims) don’t practice Islam just because they don’t believe in the life after death. Believing in the life after death requires Imaan, Quran is the way that strengthens the Imaan because it talks about the life after death. Allah (SWT) says: “But the Hereafter is better and more enduring”.

What we need to do is to talk more and more about the Jannah which is made for Muslims. Talking more about Jannah would motivate people. Other than talking about Jannah we could explore the Jannah in Quran itself.

In Surah Yaseen and Surah Rahman, Allah (SWT) beautifully talks about the luxurious life of Muslims, here are the verses of Surah Yaseen and Surah Rahman respectively:

Surah Yaseen Verses: “Verily the Companions of the Garden shall that Day have joy in all that they do, They and their associates will be in groves of (cool) shade, reclining on Thrones (of dignity), Every) fruit (enjoyment) will be there for them; they shall have whatever they call for, "Peace!" - a word (of salutation) from a Lord Most Merciful!”

Surah Rahman Verses: “But for such as fear the time when they will stand before (the Judgment Seat of) their Lord, there will be two Gardens, Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?, Containing all kinds (of trees and delights), Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?, In them (each) will be two Springs flowing (free) Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?-, In them will be Fruits of every kind, two and two”

In Jannah the biggest of the rewards would be when Allah (SWT) would expose Himself. Scholars say the people of paradise would keep watching Allah (SWT) for 8 lac years; this would be a great reward. People of Jannah would be able to see their ultimate creator, the controller, Ar-Rahman (The All-Compassionate), Ar-Rahim (The All-Merciful); indeed it will be a great treat.

We all must do good deeds in order to find the one and only our Lord. In Jannah there would be no sleep and people of Jannah would enjoy big time. Allah (SWT) would eradicate all the bad practices in Jannah such as jealousy, leg pulling, distrust, lust, etc.

May Allah have mercy on us and grants us the Janna (Ameen)
