PARADISE
Paradise is the eternal and final abode destined and promised to the believers. No one really knows how paradise looks, but Allah Almighty has mentioned some of its prettiest features in the Holy Qur’an. The Holy Qur’an gives glad tidings to the Muslim men and women that paradise is theirs, and it tells them the road-map to paradise. It explains that the paradise is full of bounties of Allah, and the believers will get anything, without any effort, that they desire. It will be their gift for deeds of goodness.
No pain only pleasure
In this world one finds both happiness and toil, but in paradise there will be no tinge of pain and suffering. Rewards of the Hereafter will indeed be great for those who remain patient and thankful in the life of this world.
1.Wealth:
Worldly happiness is tied to big bank balances, elegant villas, jewelry, luxury cars etc. Wealth is not in each person’s reach and deprivation of this many a times, leads towards feelings of pain. But Allah Almighty promises that if not in this world, they will get their share of wealth in Paradise. If they are hungry and starved here, but remain thankful and God fearing, they will find the ultimate treasures of wealth in paradise. Allah Almighty says (interpretation of the verse):
“… there will be there all that the souls could desire, all that the eyes could delight in ….” (Holy Quran 43:71)
2. Disease and Death:
Here, in this world, we have to see the pain of our dear ones in the form of their sickness which sometimes becomes really hard to stand. Death is another painful reality. In paradise, there will be no concept of disease and death. As reported in Sahih Bukhari, the Holy Prophet (PBUH) said about the people of paradise, that they will not face sickness, not even blowing of the nose or spitting.
People of the paradise, will be eternal. They will be out of fear of death. Upon entering paradise, an angel will announce to them their rewards of health, eternity, youth and joy.
3. Social Relationships:
In this world, sometimes we have to hear unwelcoming and disturbing comments from the people around us. But in paradise, there will be no such pain. Everyone will listen to good and decent talk, prevailing peacefulness among the inhabitants.
“Not frivolity will they hear therein, nor any taint of ill, only the saying, “Peace! Peace.”(Holy Quran 56:25-26)
People will be having no feelings of animosity; hatred and jealousy towards each other. They will enjoy the company of those who are best in the sight of Allah in this world.
“All who obey Allah and the messenger are in the company of those on whom is the Grace of Allah, – of the prophets (who teach), the sincere (lovers of Truth), the witnesses (who testify), and the Righteous (who do good): Ah! What a beautiful fellowship.” (Holy Quran 4:69)
The people of paradise will rest therein forever as a reward from the Allah Almighty. Therefore, one must do good deeds.
