WHAT IS JANNAH

How can we not seek to enter al-Jannah and it is the real success,it is the house of eternity, the house of lasting joy and happiness, the house where there is no sorrow, no pain, no death but just pleasure and enjoyment and above all there is in Jannah the PLEASURE OF ALLAH on its inhabitants. It is in Jannah where the believers would see their LORD , where they will meet with the Messengers and their companions, and the Martyrs.

Surah: 2:25. Al-Baqara But give glad tidings to those who believe and work righteousness, that their portion is Gardens, beneath which rivers flow.

Surah: 3:15 Aali Imran Say: Shall I give you glad tidings of things Far better than those?

Peace".The Companions of the Right Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Right Hand?(They will be) among Lote-trees without thorns,Among Talh trees with flowers (or fruits) piled one above another,-In shade long-extended,By water flowing constantly,And fruit in abundance.Whose season is not limited, nor (supply) forbidden,And on Thrones (of Dignity), raised high.We have created (their Companions) of special creationAnd made them virgin - pure (and undefiled), -Beloved (by nature), equal in age,-For the Companions of the Right Hand.A (goodly) number from those of old,And a (goodly) number from those of later times.

[ Surah 57:21 al-Hadid] Be ye foremost (in seeking) Forgiveness from your Lord, and a Garden (of Bliss), the width whereof is as the width of heaven and earth, prepared for those who believe in God and His apostles: that is the Grace of God, which He bestows on whom he pleases: and God is the Lord of Grace abounding.

A-Insaan As to the Righteous, they shall drink of a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Kafur,-A Fountain where the Devotees of God do drink, making it flow in unstinted abundance.They perform (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil flies far and wide.And they feed, for the love of God, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive,-(Saying),"We feed you for the sake of God alone: no reward do we desire from you, nor thanks."We only fear a Day of distressful Wrath from the side of our Lord."But God will deliver them from the evil of that Day, and will shed over them a Light of Beauty and (blissful) Joy.And because they were patient and constant, He will reward them with a Garden and (garments of) silk.Reclining in the (Garden) on raised thrones, they will see there neither the sun's (excessive heat) nor (the moon's) excessive cold.And the shades of the (Garden) will come low over them, and the bunches (of fruit), there, will hang low in humility.And amongst them will be passed round vessels of silver and goblets of crystal,-Crystal-clear, made of silver: they will determine the measure thereof (according to their wishes).And they will be given to drink there of a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Zanjabil,-A fountain there, called Salsabil.And round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness): If thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls.And when thou lookest, it is there thou wilt see a Bliss and a Realm Magnificent.Upon them will be green Garments of fine silk and heavy brocade, and they will be adorned with Bracelets of silver; and their Lord will give to them to drink of a Wine Pure and Holy."Verily this is a Reward for you, and your Endeavour is accepted and recognised."

Surah: 77:41-44. Al-Mursalaat As to the Righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water).And (they shall have) fruits,- all they desire."Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's content: for that ye worked (Righteousness).Thus do We certainly reward the Doers of Good.

Surah: 78:31-37 An-Naba Verily for the Righteous there will be a fulfilment of (the heart's) desires;Gardens enclosed, and grapevines; Companions of equal age;And a cup full (to the brim).No vanity shall they hear therein, nor Untruth:-Recompense from thy Lord, a gift, (amply) sufficient,(From) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all between, (God) Most Gracious: None shall have power to argue with Him.

Surah: 83:18-28. at-Tatfeef Day, verily the record of the Righteous is (preserved) in 'Illiyin. And what will explain to thee what 'Illiyun is? (There is) a Register (fully) inscribed ,To which bear witness those Nearest (to God). Truly the Righteous will be in Bliss:On Thrones (of Dignity) will they command a sight (of all things): Thou wilt recognize in their faces the beaming brightness of Bliss. Their thirst will be slaked with Pure Wine sealed: The seal thereof will be Musk: And for this let those aspire, who have aspirations: With it will be (given) a mixture of Tasnim: A spring, from (the waters) whereof drink those Nearest to God.

Surah: 88:8-16. al-Ghaashiyah (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.
