Jahannam
Islam teaches that Hell is a real place prepared by God for those who do not believe in Him, rebel against His laws, and reject His messengers.
"Our Lord! Surely, whom You admit to the Fire, indeed You have disgraced him, and never will the wrongdoers find any helpers."
(Quran 3:192)
Levels of Jahannam
“To (Hell) are seven gates, for each of those gates is a special class (of sinners) assigned.” (Quran15:43)
Food & Drinks
"Indeed, the tree of zaqqum is food for the sinful, like murky oil, it boils within bellies, like the boiling of scalding water." (Quran 44:43-46)
"If a drop from zaqqum were to land in this world, the people of earth and all their means of sustenance would rot. So how must it be for one who must eat it?"
(Tirmidhi)
"They will be given to drink boiling water, so that it cuts up their bowels (to pieces)."
(Quran 47:15)
Punishments of Hell
The punishments of Hell will vary in degree. The torment of some levels of Hell will be greater than others. People will be put in a level according to their deeds. The Prophet spoke of the lightest punishment in Hell :
"The person who will receive the least punishment among the people of Hell on the Day Resurrection will be a man, a smoldering ember will be placed under the arch of his foot. His brains will boil because of it.“(Saheeh Bukhari)

God has created a diversity of creatures that live in the seas, each perfectly adapted to their environment. Coral polyps build coral reefs and feed on particles in the water. Cleaner fish help larger fish by eating parasites off their bodies. Clownfish live among sea anemones' stinging tentacles due to a protective mucus they secrete. Seahorses camouflage among coral to avoid predators. Sea turtles precisely return to their birth beaches to lay eggs. Sea slugs' bright colors warn of their poison. Scorpionfish blend into coral reefs using coloration and shape. Dolphins' smooth skin and tail enable fast swimming. Whales are the largest sea creatures,
This document summarizes the key claims and evidence regarding the fossil record from an anti-evolution perspective. It makes the following main points:
1) The fossil record does not show the continuous gradual evolution predicted by Darwin's theory of evolution, but rather shows distinct categories of organisms separated by large differences.
2) For evolution to be true, the fossil record should contain countless intermediate forms showing the transition of species over millions of years, but it does not.
3) Darwin acknowledged this was a major problem for his theory, as the geological columns and strata are not filled with the transitional links that must have existed if gradual evolution occurred.
4) The lack of transitional fossils in the record provides evidence
The document discusses the intricate workings of the human brain and nervous system. It notes that the brain has over 100 billion neurons that communicate through trillions of connections. During development in the womb, neurons multiply rapidly and find their proper locations without error. The brain and nervous system allow for seamless communication between the body and mind through electrical and chemical signals. The brain's design could not have occurred by chance and is evidence of divine creation.
The importance of patience emphasized in the Qur’an. englishHarunyahyaEnglish
This document provides an introduction to a book about the importance of patience according to the Qur'an. It defines patience as a moral virtue that leads people from darkness to light. True patience requires consistency during times of ease and hardship and is exemplified by the prophets. The book will define patience as taught in the Qur'an, address misunderstandings of the concept, and explain how Allah tests people to help them develop perfect patience and the rewards for exhibiting great patience.
Jannah (paradise) in the words of our prophet (saas) (pbuh) 1. englishHarunyahyaEnglish
The document discusses the blessings of Paradise as described in the Quran and hadith. It describes Paradise as a perfect place with endless natural beauty, wealth, and delightful dwellings. Specific blessings mentioned include trees like Tuba that provide shade and clothing, rivers of milk, honey and wine, abundant wealth including gold and jewels, beautiful mansions and palaces made of precious stones, and tents of pearls. The purpose is to convey Paradise as a place where desires can be fully satisfied and remind people that true life is in the hereafter.
The document summarizes the pleasures of Paradise according to Islamic teachings. It describes Paradise as a place with gardens, rivers, and pleasures beyond human comprehension where believers will live happily and healthily forever. The lowest rank in Paradise will have 10 times the wealth of this world and whatever else they desire. A small space in Paradise would be better than everything in this world. Believers who do good deeds will be admitted to Paradise with its eternal pleasures.
1. The document discusses the importance of the messages and messengers sent by God to guide humanity.
2. It explains that humanity needs divine guidance to understand God's purpose for creation and how to properly worship Him.
3. The messages brought light and life by explaining truths about God, morality, the afterlife and establishing a complete way of life according to God's will. However, human intellect alone is insufficient and revelation from God is needed.
This slide program gives explanation of Surah Al kauthar. it tells us how to prepare ourselves to be eligible to drink from Al-Kausar. Why we are suffering from Ghaflah. How to develop closer relation to Allah and our beloved Prophet (SAW) to be successful.
- The document discusses the importance of zakat (charity) in Islam, which marks the minimum level of human sympathy according to the religion. It emphasizes other obligations on wealth beyond zakat, as taught by the Prophet Muhammad.
- The Prophet and his family lived lives of poverty and austerity, foregoing luxuries. When he died, his wife Aisha said there was barely any food left in their home. He urged generosity and discouraged hoarding wealth.
- The Prophet is presented as the ideal example of modesty, generosity and concern for the less fortunate. Islam places great importance on caring for others' needs.
The presentation was designed to share the evidences of Allah's promises in Jannah. The presentation was delivered with the Arabic verses of the Quran although the interpretations are presented in the slides for an English Speaking Audience.

The introduction explains that our limited human minds cannot fully conceive of the infinite beauty of the Garden, but the book will describe its blessings to help readers understand why they should strive to enter Jannah.
Precious Treasure of The Virtues of Dhikr & DhakireenMartinkay99
This document is the preface to a book titled "Precious Treasure of the Virtues of Dhikr & Dhākireen" by Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri. It discusses the importance that Islam places on remembering Allah and how remembrance of Allah is directly linked to love for Allah. It notes that Satan tries to make people forget Allah, so believers must excessively remember Allah to counter Satan's influence. The preface presents Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri as a spiritual master who teaches how to protect one's heart from worldly temptations through immersing it in the remembrance of
The document is a collection of traditions from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) about the ephemeral nature of worldly life and the importance of avoiding greed and excess attachment to worldly possessions and pleasures. It contains translations of 10 hadith from early Islamic texts with brief explanations. The hadith emphasize that worldly life is short and insignificant compared to the eternal life of the Hereafter, and that true believers will see this world as a prison while disbelievers see it as a paradise. They warn against letting worldly wealth and desires distract from worshipping and obeying God.
Sura at-Takathur discusses the central theme of how worldly competition causes people to forget about the hereafter. It warns that one day people will be questioned about how they spent their lives accumulating wealth and pleasures instead of preparing for the afterlife. The surah asserts that rivalries over material gains will not benefit anyone on the Day of Judgment. It urges focusing less on piling up wealth and more on righteous deeds, as worldly possessions cannot be taken to the afterlife.
The document discusses signs leading to faith in Allah that can be seen throughout the universe. It provides examples from the natural world like plants, animals, the human body and celestial objects. It also discusses how Islamic scholars through history have emphasized reflecting on these signs. The most effective solution to atheism and irreligion is for people to learn about the signs that point to Allah as the Creator. Reflecting on these signs increases believers' faith and understanding of Allah, while unbelievers ignore the clear proofs of His existence.

This booklet is part of the Arabic book ‘Sharh Hadeeth Jibra’eel’ by Shaikh Muhammad ibn Saleh al-Uthaimeen
“Faith in the Last Day is to believe that mankind will be resurrected and recompensed for their deeds.
It is to believe in everything that has come to us in the Book and the Sunnah concerning the description of that Day.
Allah has vividly described that Day such as the following verse:
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱتَّقُواْ رَبَّڪُمۡۚ إِنَّ زَلۡزَلَةَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ شَىۡءٌ عَظِيمٌ۬ – يَوۡمَ تَرَوۡنَهَا تَذۡهَلُ ڪُلُّ مُرۡضِعَةٍ عَمَّآ أَرۡضَعَتۡ وَتَضَعُ ڪُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمۡلٍ حَمۡلَهَا وَتَرَى ٱلنَّاسَ سُكَـٰرَىٰ وَمَا هُم بِسُكَـٰرَىٰ وَلَـٰكِنَّ عَذَابَ ٱللَّهِ شَدِيدٌ۬
“O mankind! Fear your Lord and be dutiful to Him! Verily, the earthquake of the Hour (of Judgment) is a terrible thing. The Day you shall see it, every nursing mother will forget her nursling and every pregnant one will drop her load, and you shall see mankind as in a drunken state. Yet they will not be drunk but severe will be the Torment of Allah.” [Soorah al-Hajj (22): 1-2]
There are numerous descriptions of the Last Day in the Quran and the Sunnah that testify to the horror and terrible nature of this Day.
Faith in the Last Day is not limited to believing in the Day that will be established after resurrection, as Shaikhul-Islam ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) writes in Aqeedah al-Wastiyyah, “Faith in the Last Day includes believing in everything that the Messenger has informed us about that will happen after death.”
The first stage after death is the fitnah of the grave. The people will face trial or will be tested in their graves regardless of whether one is buried in the ground or is thrown in the sea or is eaten by a lion or (his ashes are) dispersed in the wind. He will face this fitnah and he will be asked about three matters;
a) Who is your Lord?
b) What is your Religion?
c) Who is your Prophet?
A believer will reply, ‘My Lord is Allah, my religion is Islam and my Prophet is Muhammad .’ Then a caller will call from the heavens thatmyslave has spoken the truth. His gravewill then bewidened for him as far as his eyes can see. It will be furnished with furnishings from Paradise. A door will be opened into Paradise through which will come its fragrance and blessings. This condition is without doubt more complete than his condition in the world.

A bouquet of Allāh (God Almighty's) beauties. englishHarunyahyaEnglish
The document discusses the unique features and behaviors of various animals that demonstrate intelligent design. It describes how whales have hearts the size of small cars to pump blood to cool their bodies in cold waters. It notes that ostrich chicks pretend to be dead for protection, which they couldn't learn or think of on their own. The document highlights the complex wing structures of dragonflies that allow them to fly like helicopters. It concludes that all of these intricate designs found throughout nature point to an intelligent Creator.
The document calls for unity between civilizations and argues that there are more commonalities than differences between Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. It discusses how Muslims respect and love the prophets of other Abrahamic faiths like Moses and Jesus. Historically, non-Muslims lived in peace and prosperity under Muslim rule, enjoying freedom of religion. However, radicalism from any side threatens global peace and understanding. Education is key to fighting radicalism and building collaboration between faiths.
This document discusses some common beliefs and moral values shared between Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. It outlines that the three faiths share a belief in one God, Allah, who is the creator of all things. They also believe in prophets who have been sent with divine books to guide people, in the Day of Judgment when people will be held accountable for their deeds, and in virtues like modesty, justice, and trust in God. The document notes that while the faiths contain different rulings, they essentially offer the same belief and ethical model. It argues that identifying these shared foundations can help followers of the three religions to feel greater proximity to one another.
This document presents a call for unity among believers of different faiths against threats to religious values. It argues that Muslims, Christians and Jews share common beliefs and should work together against ideologies like Darwinism and radicalism. The document outlines areas of shared belief and emphasizes the importance of cooperation over past disputes. It asserts that united, people of faith can counter dangerous indoctrination and build a moral society of peace, security and well-being.
This document provides information about various animals and their abilities, as well as lessons about being grateful to God. It discusses how different birds fly, how ants farm fungus, and special adaptations of penguins, koalas and camels. It emphasizes that God created each species perfectly for their environment and needs. The document concludes with messages about loving God and expressing gratitude for His blessings, being honest, and complying with His moral teachings.
A superstitious religion in modern times, the new age. englishHarunyahyaEnglish
1) The New Age movement emerged from 1960s counterculture as young people rebelled against traditional institutions and embraced Eastern religious beliefs. 2) It combines elements of Eastern religions like Hinduism and Buddhism with Western occult ideas like magic, astrology, and channeling spirits. 3) The movement aims to turn people away from organized religion and belief in God, instead promoting spiritual beliefs outside any formal doctrine.
The document provides an overview of the universe and our solar system. It begins by explaining how vast the universe is compared to distances on Earth. It then discusses theories about the universe having no beginning and summarizes the Big Bang theory of how the universe began from a single point. The document describes our solar system and its planets, noting how perfectly suited Earth is for life while other planets are too hot, cold, or gaseous to support it. It concludes by emphasizing God's creation of the universe and planets in a state of perfect harmony and as a blessing for humanity.
Adnan Oktar (Harun Yahya) tells, the real essence of matter. englishHarunyahyaEnglish
1) Adnan Oktar discusses time, eternity, and destiny in an interview. He explains that from Allah's perspective, everything occurs in a single moment, though we perceive time through comparisons in our minds. What we experience as long periods are quite brief to Allah.
2) Oktar further explains that we can never directly experience the original forms of matter due to the atomic structure. There is immense empty space between particles, and we only perceive images formed in our brains.
3) Oktar also notes that vision does not occur through our eyes, but rather arises through images formed in our brains from light waves and other sensory inputs. We perceive reality through these mental representations rather than directly contacting external objects.
Adnan Oktar (Harun Yahya's) views on the people of the book 1. englishHarunyahyaEnglish
1. Muslims and the People of the Book (Christians and Jews) share many core beliefs and values, including belief in Allah, prophets like Jesus and Moses, the scriptures, Heaven and Hell. Their faiths have diverged over time but the Quran acknowledges their similarities.
2. Islam teaches that Christians and Jews are "People of the Book" who should be treated with affection and respect. Muslims can intermarry with them and engage in social/business relations. They are considered trustworthy.
3. Armenians as Christians are also considered People of the Book and brothers to Muslims. The border between Turkey and Armenia should be opened to foster friendship between the groups.
Allāh (God Almighty's) miracles of the Qur’an. englishHarunyahyaEnglish
1) The document discusses a book written by Harun Yahya that aims to summarize the collapse of the theory of evolution and refute this theory from the Qur'an.
2) It provides biographical information about Harun Yahya, noting he writes under this pen name to invite people to learn Allah's words and live by them.
3) The author hopes the reader will consider these important topics and find the books useful in better understanding faith and removing doubts about religion.
This document discusses altruism and self-sacrifice in the animal kingdom. It provides numerous examples of animals making great sacrifices for the sake of their offspring, from birds who work tirelessly feeding their young every few minutes, to penguins that go without food for four months to protect their eggs, to crocodiles that gently transport hatchlings to water in their mouths. The document argues that such maternal love and devotion cannot be explained by evolution or natural selection, and must have been inspired by God, who created all living things. It also critiques Darwin's theory of evolution and natural selection.
The document discusses various examples of camouflage in animals and how it demonstrates God's creative design. It describes how polar birds change their feather colors to match the environment in different seasons. It also provides examples of insects that mimic leaves and spiders that blend into tree branches. The document argues that these animals could not develop such camouflage abilities themselves and must have been created by God with these traits. It aims to show how nature provides evidence of an intelligent creator.
The document discusses the annual migration patterns of monarch butterflies and salmon. It explains that monarch butterflies travel thousands of miles each year from Canada to Mexico and back, and salmon swim from rivers to oceans and back to the exact river they were born in. It argues that these animals must have been specially created by God to complete these complex journeys according to a flawless plan due to the precise timing and navigational abilities required.
The document discusses several topics from the Quran:
1. There are no limits to improving one's morality, as one can always become better. Those who think they have reached perfection risk moral and behavioral corruption.
2. The Quran teaches respecting parents, which brings benefits like harmony and support within families.
3. Believers should treat parents with kindness, even if they hold different beliefs, but should not obey parents if it conflicts with religion.
4. Imperfections like illness are actually blessings that test faith and will be removed in paradise, so believers accept their fate rather than complain.
God forbids several poor behaviors in the Qur'an such as mockery, gossip, calling others offensive nicknames, jealousy, despair, and extravagance. Believers are commanded to be patient during difficulties, put their trust in God, and avoid feeling hopeless. The Qur'an teaches that life is a test of one's deeds, and that believers should strive to please God in all their words, thoughts, and actions, not just during prayers. Spending one's entire life for God is among the basic demands of religion.
Bees and beavers are expert architects in nature that display remarkable skills from birth. Bees build hexagonal honeycombs with minimal materials, cooperating to construct the comb from different points until they meet in the middle without imperfections. Beavers dam rivers by cutting down trees, arranging logs and branches into a concave shape that best resists water pressure, forming ponds over months. Both bees and beavers possess innate knowledge and abilities from God to construct dwellings and storehouses through dedicated labor.
The document provides biographical information about the author Harun Yahya and an overview of his works. It states that Harun Yahya writes under a pen name and was born in Ankara in 1956, studying arts and philosophy at university. It notes that since the 1980s he has published many books on political, scientific, and faith-related issues that have helped people strengthen or better understand their faith. The document emphasizes that Harun Yahya's books aim to encourage thoughtful consideration of faith and refute anti-religious ideologies using evidence-based arguments.
This document provides background information about the author Harun Yahya (pen name of Adnan Oktar) and his body of work challenging Darwinism and advocating for Islamic faith. Some key details:
- Harun Yahya has authored over 300 works translated into 73 languages, challenging Darwinism and advocating for belief in Allah and the hereafter.
- His goal is to convey the Quran's message and expose flaws in irreligious ideologies like Darwinism, which rejects faith.
- He argues Darwinism has caused many to lose faith, so refuting it is an important service. His books aim to overcome disbelief through clear, evidence-based arguments.
- Har
World Wars I and II resulted in approximately 65 million deaths total, around half of whom were civilians. The 20th century introduced humanity to "world wars" on a massive, global scale. Both wars featured new, cruel tactics like targeting civilians directly and using chemical weapons. World War I in particular involved brutal trench warfare across Europe that led to over 20 million casualties among soldiers living in horrific conditions. Massive battles like the Somme and Verdun caused hundreds of thousands of deaths while advancing front lines only short distances. The wars had devastating human and social impacts through immense loss of life.
The document discusses events prophesied in Islamic hadith to occur in the Middle East region during the End Times before the establishment of global dominance by Islamic moral values. It notes that the Middle East has been the site of many prophets and holy sites in Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. Recent events mentioned as fulfilling prophecies include the Iran-Iraq War, Russian invasion of Afghanistan, attacks on the Kaaba shrine in Mecca, and halting of the Euphrates river by dams. The document suggests recent wars and unrest in the Middle East align with hadith about events prior to the emergence of Hazrat Mahdi and the return of Jesus.

Compositions of iron-meteorite parent bodies constrainthe structure of the pr...Sérgio Sacani
Magmatic iron-meteorite parent bodies are the earliest planetesimals in the Solar System,and they preserve information about conditions and planet-forming processes in thesolar nebula. In this study, we include comprehensive elemental compositions andfractional-crystallization modeling for iron meteorites from the cores of five differenti-ated asteroids from the inner Solar System. Together with previous results of metalliccores from the outer Solar System, we conclude that asteroidal cores from the outerSolar System have smaller sizes, elevated siderophile-element abundances, and simplercrystallization processes than those from the inner Solar System. These differences arerelated to the formation locations of the parent asteroids because the solar protoplane-tary disk varied in redox conditions, elemental distributions, and dynamics at differentheliocentric distances. Using highly siderophile-element data from iron meteorites, wereconstruct the distribution of calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) across theprotoplanetary disk within the first million years of Solar-System history. CAIs, the firstsolids to condense in the Solar System, formed close to the Sun. They were, however,concentrated within the outer disk and depleted within the inner disk. Future modelsof the structure and evolution of the protoplanetary disk should account for this dis-tribution pattern of CAIs.

JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDSSérgio Sacani
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.

SDSS1335+0728: The awakening of a ∼ 106M⊙ black hole⋆Sérgio Sacani
Context. The early-type galaxy SDSS J133519.91+072807.4 (hereafter SDSS1335+0728), which had exhibited no prior optical variations during the preceding two decades, began showing significant nuclear variability in the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) alert stream from December 2019 (as ZTF19acnskyy). This variability behaviour, coupled with the host-galaxy properties, suggests that SDSS1335+0728 hosts a ∼ 106M⊙ black hole (BH) that is currently in the process of ‘turning on’. Aims. We present a multi-wavelength photometric analysis and spectroscopic follow-up performed with the aim of better understanding the origin of the nuclear variations detected in SDSS1335+0728. Methods. We used archival photometry (from WISE, 2MASS, SDSS, GALEX, eROSITA) and spectroscopic data (from SDSS and LAMOST) to study the state of SDSS1335+0728 prior to December 2019, and new observations from Swift, SOAR/Goodman, VLT/X-shooter, and Keck/LRIS taken after its turn-on to characterise its current state. We analysed the variability of SDSS1335+0728 in the X-ray/UV/optical/mid-infrared range, modelled its spectral energy distribution prior to and after December 2019, and studied the evolution of its UV/optical spectra. Results. From our multi-wavelength photometric analysis, we find that: (a) since 2021, the UV flux (from Swift/UVOT observations) is four times brighter than the flux reported by GALEX in 2004; (b) since June 2022, the mid-infrared flux has risen more than two times, and the W1−W2 WISE colour has become redder; and (c) since February 2024, the source has begun showing X-ray emission. From our spectroscopic follow-up, we see that (i) the narrow emission line ratios are now consistent with a more energetic ionising continuum; (ii) broad emission lines are not detected; and (iii) the [OIII] line increased its flux ∼ 3.6 years after the first ZTF alert, which implies a relatively compact narrow-line-emitting region. Conclusions. We conclude that the variations observed in SDSS1335+0728 could be either explained by a ∼ 106M⊙ AGN that is just turning on or by an exotic tidal disruption event (TDE). If the former is true, SDSS1335+0728 is one of the strongest cases of an AGNobserved in the process of activating. If the latter were found to be the case, it would correspond to the longest and faintest TDE ever observed (or another class of still unknown nuclear transient). Future observations of SDSS1335+0728 are crucial to further understand its behaviour. Key words. galaxies: active– accretion, accretion discs– galaxies: individual: SDSS J133519.91+072807.4
TOPIC OF DISCUSSION: CENTRIFUGATION SLIDESHARE.pptxshubhijain836
Centrifugation is a powerful technique used in laboratories to separate components of a heterogeneous mixture based on their density. This process utilizes centrifugal force to rapidly spin samples, causing denser particles to migrate outward more quickly than lighter ones. As a result, distinct layers form within the sample tube, allowing for easy isolation and purification of target substances.

Jannah (paradise) in the words of our prophet (saas) (pbuh) 2. english
1. PARADISE IN THE WORDS OF THE PROPHET (SAAS) – 2
In the first part of this film we spoke of some of the blessings of Paradise that
Almighty God promises His true servants; such as the beauties of nature, wealth, the
delights of the mansions of Paradise, its delicious foods and delightful scents.
These blessings will of course be far more delightful in Paradise than those we
perceive in this world. In one hadith our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him
peace) describes the blessings to be enjoyed by the devout servants of Almighty God
as:
There would be bounties which the eye has not seen and the ear has not heard and
no human heart has ever perceived. (Sahih Muslim)
In our film we shall be discussing, in the light of the hadith of the Prophet and of the
verses of the Qur’an, the kind of moral values that people wishing to be deserving of
Paradise must possess. After that, we shall be looking at the physical and spiritual
characteristics that believers will possess in Paradise.
THE MORAL VIRTUES DISPLAYED BY BELIEVERS IN THE LIFE OF THIS
WORLD
Many verses of the Qur’an are about moral virtues and good manners besides main
religious obligations such as prayer and fasting. God commands human beings to live
by good moral values themselves and also to counsel others to do the same. In
societies that obey the commands of God in which everyone leads good lives, a spirit
prevails that is similar to that to be found in the life of Paradise.
Muslims are God’s devoted servants. They want to please God in everything they
think, say and do, and they act out of their fear and respect for Him. They never allow
themselves to be tempted openly or in secret by any suggestion of satan; they are pure
in mind and conscience. And they go into the Hereafter with this clear conscience.
In the Qur’an, God reveals the purity of the Muslim’s spirit as follows:
Gardens of Eden with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for
ever. That is the reward of those who purify themselves. (Surah Ta Ha: 76)
In many hadith, the Prophet speaks of the noble qualities of those who enter Paradise,
for example:
What are the things that most ensure they enter Paradise? Fear of God and noble
qualities of character… (Ahmad Diya ad-Din al-Kamushkhanawi, Ramuz al-
Ahadith, vol. 1, p.12/8)
Our Prophet often reminds us in his hadith that we must “be just,” “merciful,”
2. “patient,” “generous,” “pure,” “chaste,” “honourable” and “truthful.”
He also reminds us that, in order to attain Paradise, we must “be benevolent both in
private and in public,” “speak pleasantly,” “give thanks to God both in poverty and
welfare,” “give almsgiving,” “seek knowledge,” “fear God,” “obey the prophets,”
“refrain from arrogance,” “maintain dignity in times of need” and “not resort to
begging or shamelessness,” “be honest in business,” “be at peace in God” and “be
benevolent for the sake of God and the religion.”
All these qualities mentioned by the Prophet are required of Muslims who desire to
earn the good pleasure and love of God.
CHARACTERISTICS THAT BELIEVERS WILL POSSESS IN PARADISE
HUMAN BEAUTY IN PARADISE
There are many features that believers will possess in Paradise in addition to the
moral virtue and blessings they enjoy in this world. One of them is human beauty. It is
also one of the greatest delights in this world. God has breathed His spirit into the
human being and he is of value because of his worship of God, obedience and
character. If perfect physical beauty accompanies these qualities, the blessing becomes
complete, and is something that everyone can appreciate.
Here is a hadith in which human beauty in Paradise is described:
The maidens of Paradise are like ruby and coral. One looks at one maiden’s face
and sees himself even more clearly than he would in a mirror, and the smallest
jewel therein will illuminate the east and the west. (Ahmad Diya ad-Din al-
Kamushkhanawi, Ramuz al-Ahadith, vol. 2, p. 337/7)
The Messenger of God compared the beauty of the maidens of Paradise to rubies and
beautiful natural things like coral. The beauty of their smooth skin and the brightness
of their faces are described as being clearer than when a person looks at himself in the
mirror.
In this world, the firmness of the skin lasts a very short time. The smooth beauty of
young skin ages and becomes worn out and it gains wrinkles from the problems
associated with age. Therefore, such beauty in this world is transient. However, God
promises those servants who please Him perfect and endless beauty in Paradise. The
Messenger of God said that beauty and youth will continue in Paradise:
The inhabitants of Paradise will be beardless and black-eyed; their youth will not
end, nor will their clothes become old. (Narrated by Abu Hurayra, at-Tirmidhi)
The people of Paradise will enter Paradise beardless with their eyes anointed with
kohl, aged thirty or thirty-three years. (At-Tirmidhi)
3. THE BEAUTY AND VARIETY OF CLOTHING
The clothing worn by believers in Paradise is also exceedingly beautiful and varied.
No matter how fine clothing is in this world, there will always be some imperfection.
In time, all clothing becomes old, its colours fade and the wearer loses the pleasure he
had when he first wore it. How much clothing a person has in this world is not
important, because the pleasure he derives from it is limited by his lifespan, among
other things. Like all other things, this too is left behind at the time of death. However,
clothing in Paradise is flawless in its beauty and variety and lasts forever. The many-
coloured, beautiful clothing in Paradise also addresses this taste. Here are some more
details about the clothing believers will wear in Paradise:
... There are glorious mansions there, wide rivers, plentiful and ripe fruits, beautiful
and captivating women, and much eternal and brightly coloured clothing. It is a
place of high, beauteous and flawless lands, a place where bright lives are led…
(Ramuz Al-Ahadith-1, p. 170/1)
In addition, this clothing is so plentiful that nobody will feel any lack or need. This is
also noted in a hadith:
… There exists noone among them who is deprived of anything so as to make him
annoyed of the garments another person has. Before he ceases speaking, an even
finer raiment will appear upon him. … (Narrated by Abu Hurayra, Sunan Ibn
Majah; at-Tirmidhi)
God also reveals in the Qur’an that clothing will be rich and made of silk:
They will wear green garments of fine silk and rich brocade… (Surat al-Insan: 21)
But God will admit those who have faith and do right actions into Gardens with
rivers flowing under them where they will be adorned with gold bracelets and
pearls, and where their clothing will be of silk. (Surat al-Hajj: 23)
THE BEAUTIFUL VOICES AND CONVERSATIONS
Another of the excellent traits of the people of Paradise is the beauty of their voice and
speech. Shrill noises, music with static in the background, noisy surroundings, loud
motors and sirens make our environment uncomfortable. As the Prophet told us, in
Paradise everyone’s voice will be beautiful and every sound that strikes the ear will be
pleasant. And God knows the truth.
The beautiful sounds of Paradise are described in the hadith:
There are places in Paradise where houris gather. They will raise their voices; living
4. things will never have heard such a lovely voice before… (At-Tirmidhi)
Everyone who enters Paradise will have two houris at his head and feet, and they
will read with loveliest voice ever heard by man or djinn… (Ramuz al-Ahadith-2, p.
384/7)
It is also revealed in the hadith that the speech of the people of Paradise will be very
beautiful, as well as their voices. There are negative, hurtful, whispering speech that
leads to despair and makes people unhappy and sad in the life of this world. God tells
us that there will be no such things in Paradise; believers will have delightful
conversations with one another in comfortable surroundings. Some hadith also indicate
that the sincere converse that believers have in this world will continue in the Hereafter:
When the people of Paradise settle in Paradise some brothers will wish to see each
other. One will go to one side of a couch and the other to the other. When they meet
they will remember and speak together of the things between them in this world.
One will say, “My brother, do you remember how we prayed to God in such and
such a mosque in the world? And God has forgiven us.” (Ahmad Diya ad-Din al-
Kamushkhanawi, Ramuz al-Ahadith, vol. 1, p. 29/12)
Believers will also be far removed from lies and empty, negative chatter. In the
Qur’an, God tells us that this will be a wonderful gift for His servants:
Where they will hear no prattle and no denial, a recompense from your Lord, a
commensurate gift. (Surat an-Naba’: 35-36)
ETERNAL LIFE AND YOUTH IN PARADISE
Nobody in this world can escape death, no matter how attractive, wealthy or healthy
they are. In this world human life may last 6-7 decades on average, which is a very
short time. God tells us in the Qur’an the kinds of things people will say about their
earthly lives on the Last Day:
He will say, “How many years did you tarry on the Earth?” They will say, “We
tarried there for a day or part of a day. Ask those able to count!” (Surat al-
Muminun: 112-113)
However, in Paradise life is limitless. The believers will be immortal and their
blessings eternal. We must consider carefully the idea of eternity, about which we
speak so easily, because it does not refer to a thousand or a million years, but to
timelessness. Therefore, people in Paradise will not think about time or calculate it as
in this world. Life will not end with the passing of years. God revealed this to us in the
Qur’an:
As for those who are glad, they will be in the Garden, remaining in it timelessly, for
ever, as long as the heavens and earth endure, except as your Lord wills: an
uninterrupted gift. (Surah Hud: 108)
5. Again in the Qur’an, God tells us that the service of ageless youths will be one of the
blessings enjoyed in Paradise:
There will circulate among them, ageless youths. (Surat al-Waqi‘a: 17)
The hadith also tell us about the endless life of Paradise:
If the dwellers in Hell were told: "You will remain in Hell until the stones of the
earth are counted" they would be comforted by that. And if the dwellers in Paradise
were told, "You will stay until the stones are counted" they would be saddened. But
they would be ordained eternity… (Ramuz al-Ahadith-2, p. 358/6)
He who would get into Paradise would be made to enjoy such an everlasting bliss
that he would neither become destitute, nor would his clothes wear out, nor his
youth would decline. (Sahih Muslim)
As revealed in the hadith, people will be permanently young, attractive, healthy and
sturdy in Paradise. It is revealed in both the verses of the Qur’an and also in the
hadith of the Prophet that as a blessing of Paradise, youth will last for ever. This
blessing of Paradise is revealed in these words in one verse of the Qur’an:
Ageless youths will circulate among them, serving them. Seeing them, you would
think them scattered pearls. (Surat al-Insan: 19)
A hadith says:
You will enter Paradise with the beauty of Joseph, wearing kohl and beardless, and
with the love of Jacob and as young people aged around 30. (Ramuz al-Ahadith-1, p.
249/15)
The thirties are the best time of life when the personality matures and facial features,
and the manner of speaking and acting become established. As can be seen from this
hadith, the people of Paradise will be both young and of the same age. The fact that
the people of Paradise are the same age is a great blessing from God. No matter what
age they may be, Muslims should understand one another very well and form
friendships with people of any age, older or younger than themselves. Still, the fact
that Muslims in Paradise are created the same age as one another is another
wonderful blessing from God. The Messenger of God said that the age of the people of
Paradise will never change throughout eternity:
Whoever of the People of Paradise die, whether while young or old, will be turned
into young people of thirty years of age in Paradise, never growing older than that.
And thus will be the inmates of the Fire… (Narrated by Abu Sa’id, Sunan Ibn
Majah; at-Tirmidhi)
Other verses of the Qur’an point out that in Paradise the believers’ wives will be the
same age as them:
We have brought maidens into being and made them purest virgins, devoted,
passionate, of like age. (Surat al-Waqi‘a: 36-37)
6. IN PARADISE ALL DESIRES ARE FULFILLED
Another blessing prepared for believers in Paradise is that they have everything they
desire.
Everything in the universe reflects God’s infinite power and eternal wisdom. He has
created everything in this world as a test and events in it ordinarily occur according to
the laws of cause and effect that human reason can grasp. So, when someone sees a
fruit, he or she has no doubt that it came from a seed that grew into a tree, bush or
plant which in turn yielded the fruit. According to the custom of God in His creation,
this is the cause of the fruit in this world. However, it must be remembered that, if
God wished, He could create the whole universe independent of causes. God has the
power to create what He wants whenever He wants without depending on any logical
pattern and without the need for any substance to create from. People should not be
deceived by the fact that in this world everything appears to depend on certain causes
and natural laws. As the Creator of all causes, God is completely free of them. In
Paradise creation will be freed from its need for causes, and so a fruit picked from a
tree will immediately be replaced by another, without any loss or decrease. God
creates both causes and effects. For example, when we look at the shade under a tree,
we know it is caused by the angle of the Sun’s rays. Light and shade are effects of the
Sun, but God makes the Sun the cause of light and shade. This is revealed in the
Qur’an:
Do you not see how your Lord stretches out shadows? If He had wished He could
have made them stationary. Then We appoint the Sun to be the pointer to them.
Then We draw them back to Ourselves in gradual steps. (Surat al-Furqan: 45-46)
It is as a result of the artistry of God that everything in this world is created in a
seeming cause-effect relationship. He can create anything in a moment and in the
form He wants, or turn it into any shape He desires. God created the universe from
nothing, and, at any time He desires He can dissolve the laws, the causes and effects,
that we struggle to grasp. In Paradise, faithful Muslims may ask for anything they
think will please them and, as soon as they ask for it, they will have it, by God’s will.
Ordinarily someone who wants to have a fine meal in this world must do some work
for it. The most delightful thing would be to have a meal set before us as soon as it
came into our minds and not to have to prepare it ourselves. However, such a thing is
impossible within the limitations of this world. However, in Paradise, the most
pleasing blessings are offered to human beings without their having to make a
purchase, or spend time and effort in the process of preparing them. And God knows
the truth.
God, exalted is He, in the Qur’an, and His Messenger tell us that everything the heart
desires is possible if God wills. Therefore, a person can enjoy unimaginable things in
the next life that are impossible to attain in this world. For example, it is not possible
in this world to fly on a horse but we are told in the hadith that this is possible in
7. Paradise.
Some of the examples given in the hadith on the subject are as follows:
A man asked the Prophet, “Messenger of God, are there any horses in Paradise?”
He replied: “If God makes you enter Paradise, if you wish to ride in it on a horse
made of red ruby that will fly you wherever you wish you will do so.” At this,
another man asked, “Messenger of God, are there any camels in Paradise?” but he
did not reply as he had to the first man. He said “If God makes you enter Paradise
you will find everything your self desires and that is pleasing to your eye.” (At-
Tirmidhi; Al-Hafiz ibn ad-Dayba ash-Shaybani, Taysir al-usul ila Jami al-usul, p.
431/14)
In another hadith our Prophet says this about the range of blessings in Paradise:
God said, "I have prepared for My pious servants things which have never been
seen by an eye, or heard by an ear, or imagined by a human being." (Sahih al-
Bukhari)
Everything your self desires and that is pleasing to your eye mentioned in the hadith
is not limited by this world’s limitations or our imaginations. In the Qur’an, God calls
our attention to the richness of His blessings:
... You will have there all that your selves could wish for. You will have there
everything you demand. (Surah Fussilat: 31)
We are also told in the hadith that as well as obtaining whatever blessings they desire,
the people of Paradise will be able to change appearance at will. If people were
offered the opportunity to choose their facial features and physical characteristics,
there is no doubt that most would choose to look flawlessly beautiful. This is because
human beings take delight in beauty and always look for perfection. We notice the
slightest flaw, but the beauty we seek cannot be found in this world. Even if a person
were the most beautiful individual in the world, distress, illness and, most
importantly, mortality casts a shadow over this beauty. It is a part of our test that
everything in this world has been created with defects and imperfections. There is a
good reason for these: to direct us towards the Hereafter and make us yearn for
Paradise, the real place to find the beauty and perfection that delights us. In Paradise,
God will recreate people with perfect beauty and give them the most pleasing forms.
And this beauty will not be limited to one form. God will give His servants in
Paradise the choice of whatever form they desire at any time so that the people of
Paradise can have a variety of beautiful forms whenever they want.
The Prophet tells us that believers can select a form they like from markets in Paradise
and assume it:
There is in Paradise a market wherein there will be no buying and selling, but
forms of men and women. So when a man wishes a form, he will enter into it.
(Narrated by Ali, at-Tirmidhi)
8. THEY HAVE WON THE FAVOUR OF GOD
In Paradise, God offers limitless blessings to those of His servants who have pleased
Him, but above all other blessings is the fact that they have won His favour. They
have given their worldly goods to earn His pleasure and dedicated their lives to Him.
In Paradise, they enjoy the pure happiness of having attained their lives’ goal. In the
Qur’an, God tells us what a great blessing it is to earn His favour:
God has promised the men and women of the believers Gardens with rivers
flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever, and fine dwellings in
the Gardens of Eden. And God’s good pleasure is even greater. That is the great
victory. (Surat at-Tawba: 72)
Another verse reveals that believers will enjoy every type of happiness in Paradise:
Their reward is with their Lord: Gardens of Eden with rivers flowing under them,
remaining in them timelessly, for ever and ever. God is pleased with them and they
are pleased with Him. That is for those who fear their Lord. (Surat al-Bayyina: 8)
In a hadith we are told that the people of Paradise are pleased in God’s Presence:
So they will say, “At Your service, and Your good pleasure, and all good is in Your
Hands.” He will say, “Are you pleased?” They will say, “Why should we not be
pleased, Lord, when You have given us that which You have not given any others of
Your creatures?” (Sahih al-Bukhari)
Besides all the other blessings we have mentioned, the greatest and most important
will be the closeness of the people of Paradise to God. In many hadith, our Prophet
gives believers these glad tidings:
“O Messenger of God! Will we see our Lord on the Day of Rising?” He said,
“Would you doubt about seeing the moon on the night of the full moon with no
screen in between you and it?” They said, “No, Messenger of God.” He said,
“Would you doubt about seeing the sun when there are no clouds between you and
it?” They said, “No.” He said, “In the same way, you will see Him.” (Sahih al-
Bukhari; Sahih Muslim; at-Tirmidhi)
THE JOY OF HAVING BEEN SAVED FROM THE FIRE
Of course, all the blessings of Paradise are abundant and of great value. There is no
place to go in the Hereafter other than Paradise or the Fire. A person who is not
accepted into Paradise by God will go to the Fire.
In this world, God alternately shows people good and evil, beauty and ugliness,
positive and negative. This is so that the devout can make a comparison and the joy
they take in beauty may increase. Some verses of the Qur’an demonstrate that God
9. shows the people of Paradise the state of those in the Fire, which may also increase
their contentment in Paradise and their joy at being saved from the Fire, and God
knows the truth. The joy the people of Paradise feel at having been spared, by the
mercy of God, the torment of Hell is described in another hadith:
All the people of Paradise will see Hell and will say “What if God had not guided
me?” and they will rejoice and give thanks... (Ramuz al-Ahadith-2, p. 342/1)
Another hadith that describes the great mercy and blessings enfolding believers reads:
.... Entering Paradise and escaping Hell is all blessing. (Ramuz al-Ahadith 2, p.
449/6)
God reveals the joy that the people of Paradise experience:
… They will say, “Praise be to God Who has guided us to this! We would not have
been guided, had God not guided us. The messengers of our Lord came with the
Truth.” It will be proclaimed to them: “This is your Garden which you have
inherited for what you did.” (Surat al-A‘raf: 43)
CONCLUSION
The immaculate nature and flawlessness of Paradise is a beauty that people spend
their lives in this world seeking, but never find. In addition to all these blessings, it is
therefore a great blessing to long for Paradise in this world and feel the hope of being
worthy of it and to experience the joy of our Lord’s promise of Paradise.
What we have discussed here is not, of course, the sum total of the joys believers will
experience in Paradise. God will give believers the finest reward in Paradise for all
their deeds.
In the Qur’an, God tells us that the people of Paradise live there in continual
thankfulness and happiness:
They will say, “Praise be to God Who has fulfilled His promise to us and made us
the inheritors of this land, letting us settle in the Garden wherever we want. How
excellent is the wage of those who work!” (Surat az-Zumar: 74)
10. shows the people of Paradise the state of those in the Fire, which may also increase
their contentment in Paradise and their joy at being saved from the Fire, and God
knows the truth. The joy the people of Paradise feel at having been spared, by the
mercy of God, the torment of Hell is described in another hadith:
All the people of Paradise will see Hell and will say “What if God had not guided
me?” and they will rejoice and give thanks... (Ramuz al-Ahadith-2, p. 342/1)

God reveals the joy that the people of Paradise experience:
… They will say, “Praise be to God Who has guided us to this! We would not have
been guided, had God not guided us. The messengers of our Lord came with the
Truth.” It will be proclaimed to them: “This is your Garden which you have
inherited for what you did.” (Surat al-A‘raf: 43)
