Chapter: Clarifying What Allah Has Prepared for the Believers in Paradise.
0:16
Allah Almighty says:
0:21
"Indeed, the righteous will be in gardens and springs,
0:25
[It will be said to them], 'Enter them in peace and security.'
0:29
And We will remove whatever resentment is in their breasts, [so they will be]
0:32
“And We remove whatever rancour may be in their breasts. As brethren, face to face, (they rest) on couches raised.” (15:47)
0:35
“Toil cometh not unto them there, nor will they be expelled from thence.” (15:48)
0:38
“Toil cometh not unto them there, nor will they be expelled from thence.” (15:48)
0:41
And He Almighty says:
0:44
“O My slaves! For you there is no fear this day, nor is it ye who grieve;” (43:68)
0:47
nor will you grieve.
0:50
“(Ye) who believed Our revelations and were self-surrendered,” (43:69)
0:53
Enter Paradise,
0:56
you and your spouses, delighted.
0:59
“Therein are brought round for them trays of gold and goblets, and therein is all that souls desire and eyes find sweet. And ye are immortal therein.” (43:71)
1:04
“Therein are brought round for them trays of gold and goblets, and therein is all that souls desire and eyes find sweet. And ye are immortal therein.” (43:71)
1:07
and whatever the eyes delight in,
1:10
and you will abide therein eternally.
1:13
“This is the Garden which ye are made to inherit because of what ye used to do.” (43:72)
1:16
for what you used to do.
1:19
You will have therein fruit
1:22
in abundance, from which you will eat."
1:25
And He Almighty says:
1:29
“Lo! those who kept their duty will be in a place secured.” (44:51)
1:32
"Indeed, the righteous will be in a secure place, in gardens and springs,
1:35
wearing garments of fine silk
1:38
and brocade, facing one another.
1:41
Thus [it will be], and We will marry them
1:44
to fair-skinned maidens with large, beautiful eyes.
1:47
They will call therein for every kind of fruit in safety and peace.
1:50
“They taste not death therein, save the first death. And He hath saved them from the doom of hell,” (44:56)
1:53
except the first death,
1:56
and He will protect them from the punishment of Hellfire,
1:59
as a bounty from your Lord.
2:02
That is the supreme achievement."
2:05
And He Almighty says:
2:08
"Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,
2:11
on adorned couches, observing.
2:14
You will recognize in their faces the radiance of pleasure.
2:17
“They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed,” (83:25)
2:20
Its seal is musk.
2:23
“Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss -” (83:26)
2:27
And its mixture is of Tasnim—
2:30
a spring from which those nearest [to Allah] drink."
2:34
And the verses in this chapter
2:37
are many and well-known.
2:41
On the authority of Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
2:44
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
2:47
"The people of Paradise will eat therein
2:50
and drink,
2:53
but they will neither blow their noses nor urinate,
2:56
rather, their food will turn into
2:59
a belch with a sweat like the scent of musk.
3:02
They will be inspired to glorify Allah and declare His greatness
3:05
as easily as they are inspired to breathe."
3:08
Narrated by Muslim.
3:12
"They will not defecate"
3:15
means that they will not go out to relieve themselves.
3:18
"They will not blow their noses"
3:22
"A belch"
3:25
means that it exits from them as a belch,
3:28
which is the stomach venting air without any offensive odor.
3:31
"Like the sweat of musk"
3:34
means that a pleasant-smelling perspiration will exude from their bodies,
3:37
resembling musk.
3:41
"As easily as they are inspired to breathe"
3:44
means they will engage in remembrance and glorification of Allah effortlessly,
3:47
just like their breathing.
3:52
The bliss of Paradise is everlasting and uninterrupted.
3:55
The food and drink of the people of Paradise
3:58
are free from impurities and defects that
4:01
naturally accompany the food of the people of the earth,
4:04
such as the excretion of waste and unpleasant odors.
4:08
The people of Paradise find delight in the remembrance of Allah
4:11
and His glorification,
4:14
experiencing neither hardship nor burden in doing so.
4:18
On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
4:21
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
4:24
"Allah Almighty says:
4:27
'I have prepared for My righteous servants
4:30
what no eye has seen,
4:33
nor ear has heard,
4:36
nor has ever crossed the heart of any human.'"
4:39
Recite if you wish:
4:42
“No soul knoweth what is kept hid for them of joy, as a reward for what they used to do.” (32:17)
4:45
"of comfort for the eyes."
4:49
Agreed upon.
4:53
Among the benefits of this hadith:
4:57
It clarifies that Allah has not disclosed to us in His Book
5:00
or the Sunnah of His Messenger everything that is in Paradise,
5:03
and that what we do not know is far greater
5:06
than what we do know.
5:09
The people of Paradise will experience immense pleasures therein,
5:12
completely free from anxiety, sorrow, and grief.
5:15
On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
5:19
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
5:22
"The first group to enter Paradise
5:26
will be in the image of the moon on the night of the full moon.
5:29
Then those who follow them
5:32
will be like the most brilliantly shining star in the sky
5:35
in radiance.
5:38
They will neither urinate nor defecate,
5:41
nor spit nor blow their noses.
5:44
Their combs will be of gold,
5:47
their sweat will be musk,
5:49
and their censers will be aloeswood—
5:52
the fragrant resinous wood.
5:54
Their spouses will be the *hur 'in* (fair-skinned maidens with large, beautiful eyes).
5:56
They will be united in the form of a single man,
5:59
in the image of their father Adam,
6:01
sixty cubits tall in the sky."
6:04
Agreed upon.
6:06
In a narration by al-Bukhari and Muslim:
6:09
"Their vessels therein will be of gold,
6:12
their sweat will be musk,
6:14
and each one of them will have two wives,
6:17
the marrow of whose shinbones will be visible
6:20
from behind the flesh due to their beauty.
6:22
There will be no discord among them nor mutual hatred;
6:25
their hearts will be as the heart of a single man,
6:28
glorifying Allah morning and evening."
6:32
Regarding his saying, "united in the form (*khuluq*) of a single man":
6:36
Some narrated it with a *fathah* on the letter *kha*
6:39
and a *sukun* on the *lam* (*khalq*, meaning physical stature),
6:41
while others recited both letters with a *dammah* (*khuluq*, meaning character),
6:43
and both vocalizations are correct.
6:45
"The group (*zumrah*)" means a gathering or crowd.
6:49
"A brilliant star in the sky"
6:52
refers to a star that shines with intense brightness.
6:55
"They will not spit"
6:57
means they will not discharge saliva from their mouths.
6:59
"Their sweat" means their perspiration.
7:02
Among the benefits of this hadith:
7:06
The hearts of the people of Paradise are purified of blameworthy traits,
7:11
so there will be no discord, hatred,
7:14
envy, or malice among them.
7:17
The people of Paradise are equal in physical creation,
7:20
for all of them will be in the image and height of their father Adam.
7:24
The people of Paradise are preoccupied with its bliss,
7:28
inspired to glorify and remember Allah morning and evening
7:32
as naturally as they are inspired to breathe.
7:35
On the authority of al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him),
7:40
from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said:
7:44
Moses (peace be upon him) asked his Lord:
7:48
"What is the lowest status among the people of Paradise?"
7:52
He said:
7:53
"He is a man who arrives after the people of Paradise have entered Paradise,
7:58
and it will be said to him,
8:00
'Enter Paradise.'
8:02
So he will say,
8:03
'O my Lord, how, when the people have settled in their dwellings
8:08
and taken their portions?'
8:10
It will be said to him,
8:12
'Would it please you to have the equivalent of the kingdom of one of the kings of the world?'
8:18
He will say,
8:19
'I am pleased, my Lord.'
8:21
So He will say,
8:23
'You shall have that, and the like of it, and the like of it, and the like of it, and the like of it.'
8:29
On the fifth time, he will say,
8:31
'I am pleased, my Lord.'
8:33
So He will say,
8:34
'This is yours, along with ten times as much,
8:38
and you shall have whatever your soul desires and whatever delights your eye.'
8:41
He will say,
8:43
'I am pleased, my Lord.'
8:45
Moses said:
8:46
'My Lord, then who among them has the highest status?'
8:50
He said:
8:51
'Those are the ones I have chosen;
8:54
I planted their honor with My own Hand
8:56
and sealed it,
8:58
such that no eye has seen, no ear has heard,
9:02
and no heart of a human has ever conceived.'"
9:05
Narrated by Muslim.
9:09
Among the benefits of this hadith:
9:11
The ranks of the people of Paradise vary in degrees.
9:15
The person of the lowest status in Paradise
9:19
will have multiples of the kingdoms of this world.
9:22
It demonstrates the magnificent generosity of Allah, Glorified and Exalted be He,
9:26
and that His treasures are vast and inexhaustible.
9:29
It affirms the attribute of the Hand for Allah, Glorified and Exalted be He.
