﷽
The Greatest Attainment
Watch the above lecture by Ustadh Muhammad Tim Tumble where he describes Paradise in great detail.
__
The Qur’an and Sunnah are full of references to Paradise and the great reward that is in store for those who believe and do righteousness in this life. The reward for goodness is eternal goodness, and the reward for evil is torment and despair.
Rewards for men and women are equally gratifying. No one will feel any resentment towards others, nor envy. Peace is the state in which all will exist forever, regardless of any differences they may have had in this life.
Allah ﷻ says:
وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِنَ الصَّالِحَاتِ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَى وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُولَئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ نَقِيرًا
And whoever does righteous good deeds, male or female, and is a true believer in the Oneness of Allâh (Muslim), such will enter Paradise and not the least injustice, even to the size of a Naqîra (speck on the back of a datestone), will be done to them.
[4:124]
They will wear the finest clothing and live in the best of surroundings.
It was narrated by Imam Muslim that Abu Bakr ibn `Abdullah ibn Qais reported on the authority of his father that Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said that in Paradise there would be for a believer a tent of a single hollowed pearl the breadth of which would be sixty miles. It would be meant for a believer, and the believers would go around it and none would be able to see the others.
As Allah ﷻ says:
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُدْخِلُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ يُحَلَّوْنَ فِيهَا مِنْ أَسَاوِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَلُؤْلُؤًا وَلِبَاسُهُمْ فِيهَا حَرِيرٌ
Allah will admit those who believe and work righteous deeds, to Gardens beneath which rivers flow: they shall be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and pearls; and their garments there will be of silk.
[22:23]
He ﷻ also says:
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاعِمَةٌ▪️ لِسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ▪️فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ▪️لَا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَاغِيَةً▪️فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ▪️فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَرْفُوعَةٌ▪️وَأَكْوَابٌ مَوْضُوعَةٌ▪️وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ▪️وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ
[Other] faces that Day will be joyful, pleased with their striving, in a Garden on high, where they shall hear no [word] of vanity: Therein will be a bubbling spring: Therein will be thrones [of dignity], raised on high, goblets placed [ready], and cushions set in rows, and rich carpets [all] spread out.
[88:8-16]
Trees bearing fruits of all kinds, and of types we have not seen or imagined, will be there for those who strived to do their best in this life.
Rivers of wine that does not intoxicate, rivers of honey, the purest of waters, and milk are all waiting for believers to enjoy.
Eternal youth will be the state of existence for those who inhabit Paradise.
The food of Paradise is so pure that their bodies will not produce any wastes, only sweat whose fragrance is musk.
But just as the best things in this life do not come easy, neither does the reward of Paradise come cheap. It is something that requires great effort on our part as Muslims to live a righteous life in Islam and invite others to it as well.
We must struggle with our utmost effort to achieve excellence in everything we do and in every relationship we have so that we can achieve the utmost in rewards, Paradise.
Allah ﷻ says:
وَسَارِعُوا إِلَى مَغْفِرَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ أُعِدَّتْ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
Be quick in the race for forgiveness from your Lord, and for a Garden whose width is that [of the whole] of the heavens and of the earth, prepared for the righteous.
[3:133]
May Allah ﷻ bless and reward us, and lead us all to what pleases Him.
آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ
