The Pleasures of Paradise in Brief
- Categories: Aqeedah (Islamic Faith) -
God 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]
God 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 God and His messengers....} [Quran 57:21]
The Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon
him, told us that the lowest in rank among the dwellers of Paradise
will have ten times the like of this world,[1] and he or she will have whatever
he or she desires and ten times like it.[2] Also, the Prophet Muhammad said:
«A space in Paradise equivalent to the
size of a foot would be better than the world and what is in
it.» [3] He also said:
«In Paradise there are things which no
eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human mind has thought
of.» [4] 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 God, O
Lord! I never faced any misery, and I never experienced any
hardship."» [5]
If you enter Paradise, you will live a very happy life without
sickness, pain, sadness, or death; God will be pleased with you;
and you will live there forever. God has said in the Quran:
{But those who believe and do good
deeds, We will admit them to gardens (Paradise) in which rivers
flow, lasting in them forever....} [Quran 4:57]
