Today, the Muslim Ummah has, unfortunately, become enamoured and bedazzled with the "beauty" of this temporary world.
This is in accordance with what Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam has said - "Verily this world is sweet and green."
Today, when we looked at those who are swimming in worldly pleasures, nay, drowning in them, we get enticed, wishing the same thing that those people had wished who saw the vast treasure of Qaroon, "If only we had what Qaroon has been given." It was none other than the people of knowledge who rebuked them and explained to them that no, what Allah has kept for you is way better.
Today, when we look at such show and shine, we should think the same. Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam has said, "The world is a jail for the believer and paradise for the disbeliever."
This is the place where the enemies of Allah toward whom we lift our eyes up to in adoration and envy "enjoy" themselves as if it is paradise, if you can even term their enjoyment as enjoyment. After they live this world, there is nothing but misery and punishment for them, that's why they want to make the most out of this world, live in the biggest house, drive the sportiest car, eat the most sumptious of foods, regularly jump into a plane and go to the Carribean for a holiday.
For us, this world is a JAIL! Does anybody enjoy himself in jail, i ask you? Can even the thought of enjoyment come?
No, the only thought that goes through the mind of someone in jail is, "when will the time come that I will get my freedom from this nasty place."
Has this thought ever crossed our minds??
Are we treating this world as a paradise or as a jail??
My dear beloved brothers and sisters, our paradise, JANNAH is waiting for us in the hereafter! It is calling out to us saying, "Oh servant of Allah, don't get fooled by this world, I'm your real home, I am the place of pleasure where you can get your every desire. I adorn myself for you everytime you please Allah, so ask Allah to give me to you!"
But Alas, who is there to hear jannah's calls in the midst of this mad rat race to gather more and more of this world!
That is why it is so important for us to know WHAT JANNAH IS, so that we can build a longing for it, and turn our eyes away from this world.
Today, people seek long healthy lives in this short worldly period. When a Mumin will enter Jannah three announcements will be made -
1. You will remain healthy forever, disease will never come.
2. You will remain alive for ever, death will never come.
3. You will remain in such bounties which will never finish.
WHAT MORE CAN A PERSON WANT? BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. THERE'S MUCH MORE.
Today the whole world is running after attaining GOLD and SILVER.
Jannah is made with - bricks of GOLD and SILVER . Its cement is of MUSK. Its stones and gravel are PEARLS and YAQOOT. Its sand is SAFFRON.
Today, in the world, we love that we should be promoted. get a higher position in our company.
What about the grades and levels and promotions of jannah?
8 GRADES-
1. JANNATUL MA'WA
2. DARUL MAQAM
3. DARUS SALAAM
4. DARUL KHULD
5. JANNATUL ADAN
6. JANNATUN NAEEM
7 JANNATUL KASIF
8. JANNATUL FIRDAUS.
In the gardens of Jannah, every tree will be the journey of 100 years. Plants will be thorn free, with leaves like elephant ears. Fruits will be hanging in thick rows and bunches.
Today, we want palatial homes with many rooms and a swimming pool.
Those who LOVE EACH OTHER FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH will get a pillar of YAQOOT.
On this there will be 70,000 ROOMS WHICH WILL SHINE LIKE THE SUN.
Every room will have 70,000 TABLE CLOTHS, AND ON EACH TABLE CLOTH WILL BE 70,000 DIFFERENT TYPES OF FOOD, EACH BOWL TASTING DIFFERENT. A person will eat one type of food for 40 YEARS.
80,000 YOUNG BOYS LIKE BEAUTIFUL SCATTERED PEARLS will serve them.
The size of every DATE and GRAPE WILL BE LIKE A BIG PITCHER!
The dates will be WHITER THAN MILK, SWEETER THAN HONEY, SOFTER THAN BUTTER, AND SEEDLESS!
The stems of plants will be made of GOLD AND SILVER.
Today we spend thousands, and all our time, looking for the best designer clothes.
In jannah, a person will wear 70 DRESSES AT THE SAME TIME.
Each dress will be beautiful, weightless, delicate, each having a different colour. Through the dresses THE HEART WILL BE VISIBLE AND THE LOVE IN THE HEART WILL ALSO BE SEEN.
For every person will be 4 RIVERS - WATER, MILK, HONEY, AND PURE WINE.
4 springs - KAFOOR, ZANJABEEL, SALSABEEL, TASNEEM.
Every person will have -
The height of Adam (as) - 90 feet
The youth of Isa (as) - 30-33 years.
The beauty of Yusuf (as)
The sweet voice of Dawud (as)
The tolerance of Yaqub (as)
The patience of Ayub (as)
The noble character of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)
Today we run after scantily clad half naked women - actresses, singers and models who show their short lived beauty to all and sundry.
THE WOMEN OF JANNAH - HOURUL AIN WILL BE UNDESCRIBABLY BEAUTIFUL.
THEY WILL HAVE BIG BLACK EYES, BLACK HAIR, AND WHITE SKIN LIKE AN EGG.
A PERSON WILL JUST STARE AT HER FACE FOR 40 YEARS!
HER BREASTS WILL BE LIKE POMEGRANATES.
IF HER SALIVA HAD TO BE MIXED WITH THE OCEANS OF THIS WORLD, THEY WOULD ALL BECOME SWEET.
HER VOICE IS SO SWEET THAT IF THE DEAD COULD HEAR IT THEY WOULD COME ALIVE.
IF SHE JUST PUT THE CORNER OF HER SCARF IN THIS WORLD, THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD BECOME PERFUMED.
IF SHE WOULD JUST GLANCE IT THIS WORLD, EVEN THE LIGHT OF THE SUN WOULD BE DAZZLED AND OVERPOWERED.
A MAN WILL BE GIVEN THE POWER OF 100 MEN TO HAVE INTERCOURSE WITH HER. (NO NEED FOR VIAGRA)
Such beauty which we cannot even imagine nor fathom.
BUT LISTEN, OH MY DEAR BELOVED SISTERS-
A BELIEVING WOMAN WHO WILL ENTER JANNAH WILL BE 70,000 TIMES MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HUR!!!
So, why waste our time and energy for this useless world, when this is what we have been promised?
What is better, the short lived ephemeral pleasure of this world, or the eternal ecstacy of Jannah? You make the choice.
Isn't this worth striving for and making an effort for?
May Allah grant all of us Jannatul Firdaus, ameen.
