Respected Brother-in-Islam
Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu
Hereunder is a brief description of paradise:
The gound of paradise will be of Saffron. The sand on the ground of Jannah
(saffron) will be of pebbles and rubies. The bricks of the palaces in Jannah
will be of gold and silver. The cement between the bricks will be of strong
musk. The thickness of the carpets in those palaces will be equivalent to
the journey of 500 years. The gardens outside the palaces will have streams
flowing beneath them.
The streams of Jannah will be crystal clear water, of pure milk, and of
honey. There will be evil, no anger, pride, jealousy, etc. in Jannah. Upon
enjoying the food and fruits in Jannah, there will be no need to relieve
oneself. Passing wind and sweat will be sufficient for digestion. The
greatest bounty in Jannah will be the announcement from Allah about His
eternal Ridhaa (pleasure) for the dwellers of Jannah.
Allah Ta’ala says in the noble Qur’aan, ‘And the Ridhwaan of Allah Ta’ala is
the greatest. The greatest pleasure of Jannah can be achieved by one doing
acts of virtue for the sole pleasure of Allah, thus making his life on earth
or brief experience of the greatest pleasure in Jannah.
May Allah Almighty grant us all His Ridhwaan and enterance into Jannah,
Aameen.
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
