Heaven and hell hold a great importance in Islam. Allah has discussed the concept of both heaven and hell everywhere in the Quran so that the Muslims lead their life accordingly. According to the teachings of Allah, heaven is for those people who have spent their life with simplicity, loyalty, and according to the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah. Hell is for those people who are infidels, hypocrites and for sinful and wicked people who are preparing themselves to go to hell by doing bad deeds in their life .
According to the teachings of Islam, Jannah (paradise or heaven) is a very large and beautiful place. Its structure and walls is made of gold, silver and its cement is made of musk. It is the belief of Muslims that although heaven is a beautiful place but no one has witnessed the beauty of heaven. It is the home of Allah and Muslims cannot imagine its beauty. In heaven many beautiful places that are made by Allah can be witnessed , which includes various types of fruits, milk, honey, wine(sweet smelling without alcoholic) and different types of delicious food. It is an ideal place which no one can ever dream off.
The Quran speaks about heaven:
Verily, the dwellers of the Paradise, that Day, will be busy in joyful things. They and their wives will be in pleasant shade, reclining on thrones. They will have therein fruits (of all kinds) and all that they ask for. (It will be said to them): Salamun (Peace Be On You), a Word from the Lord (Allah), and Most Merciful. Quran 36: 55-58A.
As our Prophet (S.W.A) says:
(O Muhammad SAW) “Is that (torment) better or the Paradise of Eternity promised to the Muttaqun (pious and righteous persons – see V.2:2)?” It will be theirs as a reward and as a final destination. For them there will be therein all that they desire, and they will abide (there forever). It is a promise binding upon your Lord that must be fulfilled. Quran 2:25
On the other hand, jahannam (hell) is for munafiq Muslims who not believe in Allah and do not follow the teaching of the Quran and Sunnah. Allah has made hell as a punishment for every Muslim who does not believe in Allah. This is the place which is filled with complete darkness. There is a strong fire in hell which is very dangerous for a human being. It is believed that all the non-Muslims will be dropped into his this fire and they shall dwell in there forever.
As it is mentioned in the Quran about Hell:
“Those who have disbelieved in our signs – We will burn them in fire. As often as their skins are roasted through, we will exchange them for other skins so that they may taste the punishment. Indeed, Allah is exalted in Power, Wise.”[Surah an-Nisa, 4: 56]
