he following is the Description of Jannah and the delights that it
contains by ibn Qayyim:
If you ask about its ground and its soil, then it is of musk and saffron.
And if you ask about its roof, then it is the Throne of the Most Merciful.
And if you ask about its rocks, then they are pearls and jewels.
And if you ask about its buildings, then they are made of bricks of gold
and silver.
And if you ask about its trees, then it does not contain a single tree
except that its trunk is made of gold and silver.
And if you ask about its fruits, then they are softer than butter and
sweeter than honey.
And if you ask about its leaves, then they are softer than the softest
cloth.
And if you ask about its rivers, then there are rivers of milk who's
taste does not change, and rivers of wine that is delicious to those who
drink it, and rivers of honey that is pure, and rivers of water that is
fresh.
And if you ask about their food, then it is fruits from whatever they will
choose, and the meat of whatever birds they desire.
And if you ask about their drink, then it is Tasneem, ginger, and Kaafor .
And if you ask about their drinking cups, then they are crystal-clear and
made of gold and silver.
And if you ask about its shade, then a fast rider would ride in the shade
of one of its trees for a hundred years and not escape it.
And if you ask about its vastness, then the lowest of its people would have
within his kingdom and walls and palaces and gardens the distance that
would be travelled in a thousand years.
And if you ask about its tents and encampments, then one tent is like a
concealed pearl that is sixty miles long.
And if you ask about its towers, then they
are rooms above rooms in buildings that have rivers running underneath
them.
And if you ask about how far it reaches into the sky, then look at the
shining star that is visible, as well as those that are far in the heavens
that the eyesight cannot possibly reach.
And if you ask about the clothing of its inhabitants, then they are of silk
and gold.
And if you ask about its beds, then its blankets are of the finest silk
laid out in the highest of its levels.
And if you ask about the faces of its inhabitants and their beauty, then
they are like the image of the Moon.
And if you ask about their age, then they are young ones of 33 years in the
image of Adam, the father of humanity.
And if you ask about what they will be hearing, then it is the singing of
their wives from among the Hoor al-'Ayn, and better than that are the
voices of the Angels and the Prophets, and better than that is the Speech
of the Lord of the Worlds.
And if you ask about their servants, then they are young boys of
everlasting youth who resemble scattered pearls.
And if you ask about their brides and wives, then they are young and
full-breasted and have had the liquid of youth flow through their limbs;
the Sun runs along the beauty of her face if she shows it, light shines
from between her teeth if she smiles; if you meet her love, then say
whatever you want regarding the joining of two lights; he sees his face in
the roundness of her cheek as if he is looking into a polished mirror, and
he sees the brightness from behind her muscles and bones; if she were to be
unleashed upon the World, she would fill what is between the Heavens and
the Earth with a beautiful wind, and the mouths of the creation would
glorifiy, praise, and exclaim greatness, and everything between the East
and the West would be adorned for her, and every eye would be shut from
everthing but her, and the light of the Sun would be
outshone just as the light of the Sun outshines the light of the stars, and
everyone on the face of the Earth would believe in the Ever-Living, the One
who Sustains and Protects all the exists.
And the covering on her head is better than the World and all that is in
it, and she does not increase with age except in beauty; free from an
umbilical cord, childbirth and menses, and pure of mucous, saliva, urine
and other filthy things; her youth never fades, her clothing is never worn
out, no garment can be created that matches her beauty, and no one who is
with her can ever become bored; her attention is restricted to her husband,
so she desires none but him, just as his attention is restricted to her so
she is the sole object of his desire, and he is with her in utmost safety
and security, as none has touched her before of either humans or Jinn.
And if you ask about the Day of Increase (in reward) and the visit of the
all-Mighty, all-Wise, and the sight of His
Face - free from any resemblance or likeness to anything - as you see the
Sun in the middle of the day and the full Moon on a cloudless night, then
listen on the day that the caller will call: 'O People of Paradise! Your
Lord - Blessed and Exalted - requests you to visit Him, so come to visit
Him!' So they will say: 'We hear and obey!'
Until, when they finally reach the wide valley where they will all meet -
and none of them will turn down the request of the caller - the Lord -
Blessed and Exalted - will order His Chair to be brought there. Then,
pulpits of light will emerge, as well as pulpits of pearls, gemstone, gold,
and silver. The lowest of them in rank will sit on sheets of musk, and will
not see what those who are on the chairs above them are given. When they
are comfortable where they are sitting and are secure in their places, and
the caller calls: 'O People of Paradise! You have an appointment with
Allaah in which He wishes to reward you!' So they will
say: 'And what is that reward? Has He not already made our faces bright,
made our scales heavy, entered us into Paradise, and pushed us away from
the Fire?'
And when they are like that, all of a sudden a light shines that
encompasses all of Paradise. So, they raise their heads, and, behold: the
Compeller - Exalted is He, and Holy are His ****s - has come to them from
above them and majestified them and said: 'O People of Paradise! Peace be
upon you!' So, this greeting will not be responded to with anything better
than: 'O Allaah! You are Peace, and from You is Peace! Blessed are You, O
possessor of Majesty and Honor!' So the Lord - Blessed and Exalted - will
laugh to them and say: 'O People of Paradise! Where are those who used to
obey Me without having ever seen Me? This is the Day of Increase!'
So, they will all give the same response: 'We are pleased, so be pleased
with us!' So, He will say: 'O People of Paradise! If I were not pleased
with you, I would
not have made you inhabitants of My Paradise! So, ask of Me!' So, they will
all give the same response: 'Show us your Face so that we may look at it!'
So, the Lord - Mighty and Majestic - will remove his covering and will
majestify them and will cover them with His Light, which, if Allaah - the
Exalted - had not Willed not to burn them, would have burned them.
And there will not remain a single person in this gathering except that his
Lord - the Exalted - will speak to him and say: 'Do you remember the day
that you did this and that?' and He will remind him of some of his bad
deeds in the Worldy life, so he will say: 'O Lord! Will you not forgive
me?' So, He will say: 'Of course! You have not reached this position of
yours (in Paradise) except by my forgiveness.'
So, how sweet is this speech to the ears, and how cooled are the righteous
eyes by the glance at His Noble Face in the Afterlife...
{Some faces that Day will be shining and radiant, looking
at their Lord...} (al-Qiyaamah:22-3)
