FIRST REMINDER: THE PLEASURES OF PARADISE IN BRIEF
BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem
A glance at the nature of Paradise as described in the Quran and the saying of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam).
ALLAH has said in the Quran:
“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 has also said:
“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 ALLAH and His messengers....” (Quran 57:21).
The Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of ALLAH be upon him, told us that the lowest in rank among the dwellers of Paradise will have ten times the like of the pleasures of this world, and he or she will have whatever he or she desires and ten times like it. Also, the Prophet Muhammad said: “A space in Paradise equivalent to the size of a foot would be better than the world and whatever is in it.”
He also said: “In Paradise there are things which no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human mind has thought of.” He also said: “The most miserable man in the world of those meant for Paradise will be dipped once in Paradise. Then he will be asked, ‘Son of Adam, did you ever face any misery? Did you ever experience any hardship?’ So he will say, ‘No, by ALLAH, O Lord! I never faced any misery, and I never experienced any hardship.’” meaning such misery person on earth will forget any hardship he or she ever went through due to the pleasures in paradise.
To be continued in Shaa ALLAH.
May ALLAH aid us through our little efforts to please HIM and grant us paradise by HIS MERCY. AMIN
