(Jannah)
Module 1 – Circle 5
Can a Human Being imagine what
Paradise is like?
The Messenger of Allah said, ‘Allah said: “I have
created for My righteous servants what no eye has
seen and no ear has heard, nor has it occurred to
the human heart. Thus recite if you wish, ‘No soul
knows what joy has been kept hidden for them’
(Qur’an 32:12).” (Bukhari & Muslim)

How will people enter Paradise?
Abu Hurairah (ra) narrated that, ‘The Messenger of God pbuh once
said, “Whoever meets the expense of a couple’s marriage from his own
wealth for the sake of God shall be summoned from every gate of
Heaven. Heaven has eight gates: whoever was of the people of Prayer
shall be called from the Gate of Prayer; whoever was of the people of
Fasting shall be called from the Gate of Fasting; whoever was of the
people of Charity (al-sadaqa) shall be called from the Gate of Charity;
and whoever was of the people of Jihad shall be called from the Gate of
Jihad.” And Abu Bakr (ra) said, “By God, not one of us minds from which
gate he shall be summoned. But shall anyone be summoned from them
all?” “Yes,” he replied, “And I hope that you shall be amongst them”.’
(Bukhari)

Will people be the same in Paradise
as they are on Earth?
The Messenger of God pbuh once said, “The faces of the
first group of people to enter Heaven shall be as the moon
on the night when it is full. Therein shall they never spit,
sneeze, or void their bowels..... There arise no differences
among them, neither any hatred: their hearts are as one. By
morning and evening they shall proclaim the glory of God.”
(Bukhari and Muslim)

Will there be any hardship in
Paradise?
Abu Hurayra reported, ‘God’s Messenger pbuh has
said, “On the Day of Arising a herald shall call out,
saying, ‘You shall be in health, and never fall ill!
You shall live, and never die! You shall be young,
and never age! You shall be in comfort, and never
in any hardship!’ This is what He (God) has
declared (Great and Glorious is He!): “And they
were called: This is Heaven; you have inherited it
because of what you used to do”.’ (Qur’an 7:43).
(Muslim)

How tall and of what age will the
people of Paradise be?
It was narrated that Abu Hurairah (ra) said: The Messenger
pbuh said: “Allah created Adam in his form, sixty cubits
tall… and everyone who enters Paradise will be in the form
of Adam, sixty cubits* tall…” (Bukhari 5873) *[1 cubit = 1722 inches]
It was narrated from Mu’aadh ibn Jabal that the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The
people of Paradise will enter Paradise hairless, beardless
with their eyes anointed with kohl, aged thirty or thirty-three
years.” (Tirmidhi 2545)

Will we be allowed to do whatever we
want in Paradise?
Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet pbuh was narrating
a story while there was a bedouin man near him... “One of
the dwellers of Paradise will seek the permission of his Lord
for the cultivation (of fields). He will ask him: ‘Have you not
(already) got what you desire?’ He will reply, ‘Yes, but I like
to cultivate crops’. Then he will spread seed and soon its
growth and its reaping will take place and it will be like
mountains. The Almighty Allah will say, ‘(Go) off (and
enjoy), O son of Adam! Because nothing (else) will satisfy
you!’” The (simple) desert Arab then said, “By God, you will
not find him to be any other than a member of the Quraish
(from Mecca) or the Ansar (of Medina) because they are
agriculturists. As for us, we are not”. Then the Messenger of
Allah laughed. (Bukhari)

Will we have access to things which we
desired in this life?
A man once came to the Messenger of God pbuh and
asked, “Will there be horses in Heaven, for they please me
greatly?” “If you should so desire,” he replied, “You will be
brought a horse of ruby which will fly with you in Heaven
wherever you please.” Another man said to him, “I am fond
of camels; shall there be any camels in Heaven?” and he
answered, “O servant of God! if you are received into
Heaven then you shall have therein whatever your soul
desires and your eye finds delectable.” (Tirmidhi and
Ahmed)

What will the people of Paradise eat
first?
A Jew asked that the Prophet pbuh, "What will they be
presented with when they enter Paradise?" He said, "The
caudate [extra] lobe of fish liver." The Jew asked, "What will
they eat after that?" The Prophet pbuhsaid, "The bull, which
is grazing now in Paradise, will be slaughtered for them."
The Jew asked, "What will they drink after that?" He said,
"From a spring called Salsaabeel." The Jew said, "You have
spoken the truth." (Muslim) [Ibn Katheer, an-Nihaayah,
2/270]

What will the people of Paradise
drink?
Allah's Messenger said, "In Paradise there is a great river
of water, a great river of honey, a great river of milk and a
great river of wine; then smaller rivers are divided off them."
(Tirmidhi)
"Around them will be passed a cup of pure wine; white,
delicious to the drinkers. Neither will they have ghoul [any
kind of hurt, abdominal pain, headache, etc] from that, nor
will they suffer intoxication therefrom" [37:45-47]

Will people remember their lives on
Earth?
The Messenger of God pbuh said, “When
Heaven's people are settled in, friends will yearn
for one another, and the couch of one will travel to
that of another so that they meet and discuss what
had passed between them in the worldly abode.
One of them will say, ‘O my brother, do you recall
such-and-such a day, and such-and-such an
assembly, when we prayed to God and He forgave
us?’” (Abu Nu’aym and Bayhaqi)

Are there levels in Paradise?
Abu Sa’id al-Khudri narrated that, ‘The Messenger of God
pbuh once said, “The people of Heaven shall see the
people of the Chambers above them just as you behold the
morning and evening star when it lies above the horizon; so
great is the discrepancy between them in merit.” “O
Messenger of God,” [the Companions] said, “Will those be
the mansions of the Prophets, who alone may attain them”.
“But no,” he replied. “By Him in Whose hand lies my soul,
therein shall be men who had faith in God, and believed the
Messengers.”’ (Bukhari and Muslim)
“Verily, Paradise has one hundred levels and between each
level is a distance like the distance between the earth and
the sky.” (Bukhari)
Module 1 – Circle 5
Which is the highest level in
Paradise?
The Messenger pbuh said, “When you ask Allah swt for
Jannah, ask for Firdaws.” (Tirmidhi)
'Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As reported that Allah's Messenger
pbuh said: When you hear the Mu'adhdhin, repeat what he
says, then invoke a blessing on me, for everyone who
invokes a blessing on me will receive ten blessings from
Allah; then beg from Allah al-Waseela for me, which is a
rank in Paradise fitting for only one of Allah's servants, and I
hope that I may be that one. If anyone who asks that I be
given the Waseela, he will be assured of my intercession.
(Muslim 4:0747)

What is the greatest reward in
Paradise?
Suhaib (ra) reported: The Messenger of Allah pbuh said,
“When the inhabitants of Jannah enter Jannah, Allah, the
Glorious and Exalted, will say to them: `Do you wish me to
give you anything more?’ They will reply: `Have You not
made our faces bright? Have You not brought us into
Jannah and delivered us from the Hell?’ And Allah will
remove the Veil. The (dwellers of Jannah) will feel that they
have not been awarded anything dearer to them than
looking at their Lord.” [Sahih Muslim].
