Maria Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
wa salatu salam ala cu mursaleen Awada. Early he was me he or
Baraka was seldom at the Sleeman Cathedral on Ilario Medina and
Marburg. This next section of the series in Paradise is about people
visiting each other.
This is a much awaited topic. How will people visit each other in
Paradise? Allah subhanho wa Taala says in Surah to solve that
our older will learn diminishing Banyuwangi maybe SMIL Bismillah AR
Rahman AR Rahim
for our Baba Anna Balto who might about leave us
alone.
On up all mean hum in Nika. Annalee Corrine, your colo in
NACADA Amina al Mossad daily is now akin to Robin who are a
foreman in Nevada Medina goon ora hello to my body your own footpod
RFRA who feeds
into Jerry calling into law he you get to the mean what hola near
Metro and I'll be the cool Domina Dori
Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about the people of paradise,
they will be visiting one another, and having a discussion.
And in between all of that, clearly the discussion about this
world will arise something to do with the past which is the world
and people will reminisce over the memories of this dunya
so as their discussion they as they're discussing these things,
they will
one of them will suddenly say you know I had a friend in the world,
there was an associate of mine
and he used to reject the resurrection, he used to reject
this hereafter.
And
then
Allah subhanaw taala relates is in the Quran as to what this
particular denier would say. In Nicola Mina Masada teen
Do you really believe this?
Do you really believe that we are going to be resurrected and then
we're going to be rewarded or punished for our deeds and actions
and we're going to have to undergo some kind of reckoning. After we
have become completely rotten, our bones are turned turned into dust.
They become completely decomposed, maybe cremated in some cases.
So that's what's going to happen to us.
So then, this is this is what Allah says. A Nicola Milan or
Saudi Akina either meet now Hakuna Turabian where ivam and are in
lagoon in anima de noon. We're going to be coming back to be
rewarded or punished. recompense for whatever we do.
Call the * anthem Thalia rune. So this is where
call the * and tomato their own. Do you want to look where
your friend is? Do you want to see in hellfire, where this person is
and what's happening to him? So who makes this statement?
According to the first interpretation, this is the person
who is speaking to you know, the two people are having this
discourse, one of the one of them has this friend or had this
friend. So the other one says, Do you want to see where he is? Do
you want to take a look under Matauri rune. The other opinion is
that the angels will come in and say at this point, do you want to
take a look?
And a third opinion is that this is Allah subhana wa Tada who will
say that and to move on. However, the first opinion seems to be the
strongest in this case. Because that is the whole indication in
the context is what that is all about.
So do you want to take a look, cab
in the midst of this there's a small narration from cab says that
between Jana and hellfire there's a door. We actually read a hadith
about this before that in every paradise they will have four doors
or four access points, and one of them will be out looking towards
the hellfire. So when a person wants to feel good about where he
is looking hellfire. In this case, God says that between Janet and
Johanna is a window is a van
To the point of vista point, when a believer a believer wants to
look at his enemy.
When a believer wants to look at his enemy in the that was his
enemy in the dunya, he will look from that window and he'll be able
to see them.
So, for taller,
for taller for who he is our elder him, he will see him in the middle
of the Hellfire, this friend of yours
and then he will say that if it hadn't been for the fact that
Allah subhanahu wa taala had shown me the truth,
then I would not have recognized and known the truth.
When he in fact, it says that when Allah so He says that if Allah
subhanaw taala had not been able to show me this friend of mine and
point him out to me, I would not have been able to recognize him
because his entire body, his skin, his face, his color, and
everything would have gone through a severe change and alteration
because of the fire.
That's why Allah subhanaw taala says here, law relates here. The
law he in kittila taurolidine Walla Walla, namah Torabi la
quinta Minal Mandarin, by Allah,
by Allah, it was very close. So this person is relating what this
person is saying, as he's looking at this person is saying, By
Allah, you very, you are very close to misguiding me, you are
very close to causing me this destruction as well. And if it
hadn't been for the fact that Allah subhanaw taala had bestowed
His bounty upon me and guided me then I would have also be one of
those who would be present in this punishment of yours. So that's
what these verses of Surah two software to relate. Then in Surah
two tool Allah subhanaw taala says similar What are Corbera about
whoo hoo Marla about We
alone. All Lu in can call the Luffy Halina mouche weekly, vermin
Allahu arlena whoa call on our other Abbas moon in Quran, mu Cabo
Luna the room, in a whole ballroom Rahi team.
They will look at each other and they will ask, they will say that
we used to be
in our families among our families.
We used to be among our families in fear and ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada
bestowed His bounty upon us and He protected us from this evil
punishment.
And before this, we used to call him to Allah. And Allah subhana wa
Tada is, most giving Most Merciful One
Bhavani has a narration here, related that Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam was asked so from these Quranic verses, we're
understanding that there are some meetings and discussions taking
place among friends among people. So that's indicated directly in
the Quran, in the Hadith. Now Dovolani has a narration where it
says the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was asked,
will the people of Jana visit each other?
And now we're getting some understanding of the hierarchy
here. He will say that yes, the higher people will visit the lower
people.
The higher ones of the highest stages will visit the lower ones,
the lower ones will not visit the higher ones.
So it looks like first class can come into second class or coach
class. But like here, you can't go from coaching to first and second
they stop you.
Except there is an exception here though, which is the beautiful
parts except those who used to love each other for the sake of
Allah subhanaw taala they will be able to go wherever they want to
visit on these camels that be the special camels, they will be able
to go upon them. Toblerone has a nother narration says that, in
that heterogeneity is our own island Nyjah
the people of Ghana will be able to visit one another on camels
Najib Najib.
So, what we understand from this is that people of Paradise will
visit each other, they will want to want to visit one another. And
by this obviously when you visit, we are social creatures. So we
enjoy a bit of socio social interaction says by that the
pleasure their happiness will even increase more
That's why Hadith
said to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
the prophets Allah some asked him, gave us back the hierophant How
was your morning?
How did you spend your morning meaning? How's your morning? Oh
Haritha so how did I say to him, us back to men and how can I spend
my movement as a true believer?
So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said look, every, you
know when you say or as a true believer, every true thing has a
reality. When you say something is true that I am truly a believer
that has a reality.
What is the reality of your faith?
For Maha pika to EMA, Nick, what is the reality of your faith? So
he said that
I've recognized though my enough's has recognized myself from the
dunya the distinction between this world and the hereafter. So, I
have awakened during the nights, I have spent the nights awake. And I
have spent the days thirsty, essentially fasting and praying.
And it is as though I am looking and looking at the throne I have
my lord manifests. And it is as though I can see the people of
Jana visiting one another.
On a beautiful vision. It is though I can see a vision of the
people of Judah visiting one another. And I can see a vision of
the people of hellfire being punished in it. So the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, I don't know what Allahu Allah.
This is a servant who Allah subhanaw taala has illuminated his
his heart.
We have another narration from ignite a bit dunya.
And so the Allahu Anhu relates Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said, when the people of Jana will enter into Jana, into
the gardens, and there will be a desire of some brothers to visit
others.
So, his serene his throne,
his seating place would mean some kind of special
vehicle that he will be given a special flying carpet, whatever it
may be, for your 07 ohada era said Ed Harada
studied the platform he sits on the throne,
the special seating of his will go and meet up with the seating of
the other person until they will gather together somewhere there'll
be some special place of gathering scenes and he will say in the
conversation now, one of them will say to the other Do you know when
Allah subhanaw taala forgave us? Like do you know when we made it,
when Allah forgive us? Said other than say yes when we were in such
in such a place
when we were in such in such a place, and we are asked Allah we
had made dua to Allah subhanaw taala, and He forgave us. So it
looks like in Paradise will be having having a clearer, clearer
vision of how our deeds helped us. But it also looks like these two
brothers, these two people, friends, companions, they seem to
have got this together because he's saying do you know when Allah
forgive us, it looks like they were very good friends for the
sake of Allah subhanaw taala because if you remember from our
series on the
SHA, Ronnie's
a double saga. In the beginning that section on the benefits and
the virtues of brotherhood, it was there were some huge benefits
there of people coming together and having special places in
Paradise because they used to love one another for the sake of Allah
subhanaw taala.
There's another narration
that is
related from Xu Fei. Xu Fei it no matter that was all allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that part of the bounties of the
people of Jana is that they will get to visit one another
on different forms of
on different forms of Conveyances camels.
And then there's a lengthy Hadith that we should look at here.
It carries on
they will be brought a horse in paradise. That will already be
settled.
It will be prepared for travel.
This horse will not this is very interesting.
This horse will not have to defecate or urinate.
So, again, it could be a horse or it could be something else, a
vehicle of some sort, they will get upon it
and it will take them to wherever Allah subhanaw taala wills
suddenly, what will come upon them will be something like a cloud
and within that cloud
or within what looks like a cloud, they will be within it that which
no AI has ever seen, no ear has ever heard the likes of they will
say
with some kind of great vision, they will have of these things,
they will say,
shower down upon us,
it will shower upon them,
until it will go way beyond what they would have ever expected to
come from there.
Then Allah subhanho wa Taala will send the wind which will not be a
harmful wind,
it will blow and spray on the musk from both the right side and from
the left side. So, it looks like that this is a special beauty
shower.
And then you you get sprayed with this beautiful Musk of paradise.
This Musk will this spray will reach both the foreheads you know
the the heads of the of the animals of the horses and into the
you know the all parts of the animal will become will will be
benefiting from the spray. And also every person from among them
will have long hair as much as he desires. Each person there will
have long hair as much as he desires Joomla Joomla is long hair
that generally comes to the the earlobes he says everyone will
have hair as much as desires that must will
you will adhere to the hair because generally you know when
they do Behold, this is what happens they put it in their hair,
they put it under their clothes so it kind of infuses within it so it
will infuse their hair,
their clothing and everything.
And then after that they will carry on until they will get to
another place where Allah subhanaw taala wills and then suddenly they
will see a woman that is calling. Now this is for each person, they
will see a warm woman that is calling.
Yeah Abdullah
or servant of Allah. Don't you have any desire for us? You will
say what are you?
What are you who are you, man anti woman anti. It's an I am your
wife. I am your spouse and your beloved. It looks like they'll
discover new spouses in various different places it seems. So he
said marketing to him to be mechanic I didn't know that you
are here. I didn't know this was your place. I didn't know. So she
will say Don't Don't you know that Allah subhanho wa Taala says
further there and I'm gonna have some Orfila home in karate area.
That no knifes no person knows that which has been hidden for
them from the gladness of their eyes, something that we're glad in
the eyes Jezza and Bhima can we I'm alone, which is a source of
reward, which is a reward for what they used to do for what they used
to do. This is sort of decision. So then he will respond. Yes, of
course by my lord. However, he will be then distracted from her
for 40 autumns 40 years that length of time.
He will not even look anywhere else you won't look towards that
you won't do anything. And it will be all the other bounties and the
honor that will be provided there will suddenly distract them. So it
looks like they're taken on this special voyage and or this
journey, the shopping journey this enjoyment journey and Allah
subhanaw taala is providing all of these things. Now how is a person
ever going to get bored some of these distractions will be such
that they will occupy you for such a long time and you got enough
time anyway.
There's another narration
related from Abu Huraira the hola Juan he said that the people of
Jana will be visiting one another on camels have good stock on these
really beautiful pedigree camels that will have some whiteness
within their dark color. This is
a resell June, that's what they call in Arabic and they will have
these very special seating
put on them that will be made of a special would probably handle
mace.
Its hooves
I
will spray up,
Musk, the dust of musk
and the stirrup
the saddle
of each one of these will be superior to the dunya and
everything within it. That's how beautiful it is. If Norbit dunya
has another narration from Abu Huraira the Allahu Anhu.
Again this is
an interesting narration says that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam
asked Gibreel Allah He salaam about this verse, when we take
office Sue, for Sarika movies, do you feel of the
show
or
when the Trumpet will be blown?
Those in the heavens and those on the earth will soon except those
that Allah wishes, be some people who will be made exempt from that
swooning, and thus the trumpet will not effect them. So he asked
Gibreel Ali Salam about this. And he said, these are the Shahada.
These are the martyrs whom Allah subhanho wa Taala will resurrect,
they will have their swords with them, and they will be around the
throne, the angels that will come to them from the gathering place
with camels
made out of Ruby, or studied with Ruby, whatever that is, or maybe
it's something else.
And explains the number of other beautiful things about these
camels
that their strings will be made of this pearl and all of these other
things the saddle will be of gold
and they will be pure silks and brocade and everything on it. When
America earlier nominal hurried,
some of the cloth that's used, they will be softer than silk.
And they can travel as far as the site can see.
So they will travel around Jana,
on horses
and
after they've had quite a bit of time going around
and enjoying the
the sightseeing, they will suddenly say, Come on, take us to
see how Allah subhanaw taala is
deciding and the reckoning is taking place between the people.
Allah subhanaw taala will be very satisfied with them.
It basically says Allah will laugh
for them. And then it says whenever Allah laughs at anybody,
meaning in a in a positive way, then that person is not going to
have to undergo a reckoning.
So this is very special, if not a bit dunya has another narration
from Allah, the Allah one he says that I heard the prophets of the
Lord some say, in Jannah, there is a tree
from the upper part of it will come.
Garments remember we read earlier that garments of Paradise will be
made from trees, they will be produced from trees,
and from the bottom will come out a horse, again, this beautiful
horse that's been specially decorated with all of these rubies
and
pearls and so on. It will not it will not defecate or urinate. And
that's what makes me again think that this is some kind of vehicle
it will have wings. And it can travel as far as the site can see.
So this is some kind of flying vehicle.
The people of Jannah will get on top of it.
And it will travel with them wherever they want. So now people
on the who are lower than them will ask Oh Allah, Oh my Lord.
How have these people reach this honor?
They will see them traveling around they say how have these
people reach this honor. So it will be said to them that they
used to pray at night
and used to be sleeping.
They used to fast and used to be eating.
They used to be spending and you were miserly and withholding
and they were fighting while you were acting cowardly.
They were striving and fighting while you were acting cowardly.
So that's we do understand here that this gives us a new this
question about how the lower people will see the higher people.
While this gives us some indication.
Of course, all of this era of
Visiting one another is very pleasurable and very nice and
exciting and very delightful. But the more delightful thing we'll be
seeing Allah subhanaw taala in paradise and that is something
that we will be looking at in another chapter.
Now, the next section is about the special market of paradise.
People love their markets, they like shopping.
They like going to get new things. Essentially a market is a place
where you go and buy new things. The souk, this is what it is the
souk of Jana, this is the market of Jannah.
And what Allah subhanaw taala has created for the people there. So
now the first narration here is related by Imam Muslim in his
sorry, from unassuming nomadic or the Allahu Anhu Rasulullah
sallallahu sallam said that in the village Jannetty la Sukan two and
a half Akula Jumar there is a market in paradise that people
will attend once a week the wind from the
the North will blow
and it will
spray up into their faces and their clothes.
And by that they will increase
in their beauty and handsomeness. So you will go there and suddenly
you will feel this wind like a spray of some sorts. And it will
be to enhance you. I don't know what's going to be in there. But
it's going to enhance you. It's going to increase the beauty they
will then go back to their families and they would have
become enhanced in their beauty. Their families will say to them
Wallahi
after leaving us you've just suddenly become more beautiful and
they will say you by Allah have also increased so we will both
increase.
Imam Muhammad has related in his mustard
that in there will be these mounds of musk. When they come out. They
will spray upon them
it's well organized system with everything. Nothing left to
chance.
If not be awesome relates in Kitab Asuna from St. Lucia that he met
Abu Huraira the Allah one the third aim at the sahabi
Abu Huraira the Allahu Anhu said
as Allah Ah Ma, Albania, Albania, Kofi sawkill. Jana, what a
wonderful dua. You meet somebody you say, Jamar, that's your name
right?
I ask Allah that He gather between us he gather us together in the
party make us meet in the in the market of Jannah. Two sides is
there's a market in Jannah.
So he said yes.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam informed me that the people
of Ghana when they enter into Jana,
they will they will be placed in Jannah according to their deeds,
according to their actions, they will be placed in Jannah.
However, they will then be permitted
as much as is the time of a Friday right from the dunya days, that
long 24 hours whatever, right. That is how long they will be
allowed to go to Jannah sorry, they will be given special
permission and thus in that time they will visit Allah subhanaw
taala that is the time when visit Allah subhanaw taala
Subhan Allah go to the Juma and thus in paradise, the reflection
of that is you go to see Allah subhanaw taala.
Those who don't do Juma Subhanallah they're going to be
deprived.
Anyway, the origin the Throne of Allah subhanho wa Taala will
will loom in front of them.
And this will be in an orchard from one of the Riyadh origin.
These huge thrones and seating places will be prepared for them
that will be made of light.
Some of them will be made of light. Some of them will be made
of pearl. Some of them will be made of sapphire. Some of them
will be made of Ruby, some of them will be made of gold, some made of
silver,
the lower people, the lower level people and remember there is no
inferior person in paradise. It says here. This is not me saying
it says we're actually at the now home Wi Fi ha than even the lower
level people but remember there is no inferior person there. They all
good but it's just relative. That person will sit on mounds of musk
and camphor
and
They will not think that the people who are on the special
seating places are better than them
abou Herrera. What are the Allahu Anhu says?
No Then he then the Salem save asked him when we see our Lord in
Jannah. So he said yes of course. Do you have any doubts when you
look at the sun or the moon during the 14th night? Is it No, it is
likewise you will see your Lord Tabata, Kota Allah.
In fact, he says, in that gathering, when you go to visit
Allah subhanaw taala.
Every single person will be visited by Allah or addressed by
Allah, every single person will have a private
interaction with Allah subhanho wa taala.
So much so that he will say, Oh, full on iblue Full on Oh, such and
such a person. Do you remember the day when you did this and that,
and he will remind him of certain of his deeds in the world? And the
person will say yes, of course.
Haven't you forgiven me though, my note
is you say, of course, it is by Mark Farah and forgiveness that
you've reached this stage. While they in that discourse, suddenly,
there will be like a cloud like thing that will
suddenly overcome them,
suddenly will come over them and it will shower down and spray on
them beautiful,
a beautiful fragrance to even that they would never have smelled
before.
So every week, in that in, in the internet, in that discussion with
Allah subhanaw taala that honor, you will be given and sprayed with
a new perfume
then the person will say oh my lord Tabata, Kota Allah
actually, our Lord will say,
Go stand up and go and enjoy that which I have prepared for you have
all of this honor, and go and take whatever you want.
So, then they will come to the market.
Now, they will arrive at the market,
and until the angels will surround them,
and in that market is what the eyes have never seen before. ears
have never heard the likes of before. In fact, things there have
never even occurred to your heart it will say.
So,
now for us will be carried whatever we desire, and nothing is
sold in that markets for money.
Nothing is exchanged for money in that market, nothing is sold, it's
all to take whatever you want.
And it is in this market, that the people of Ghana will visit and see
one another, they will interact with one another.
Hence, a person will come who has on himself
more expensive and premium apparel or garments or rope, he will see
those who have a lesser
a lesser quality.
And again, he says we're Murphy him the only one that remember
there is no inferior person here, it's just all relative is
comparative. So the person with better apparel, will see somebody
with a lesser apparel.
And, of course, they will make an impression on one another.
However, as soon as they finish speaking,
the other person who had the lesser garments will have better
governance than that.
And the reason for it is that in paradise, they should nobody
should grieve
by seeing somebody else that will be used to give them better, but
then probably that person will get even better. But that nobody has
to grieve in paradise. So maybe this is the way that you're
satisfied with what you have. But you still have less than somebody
else. But to you it's the best because now you've got better than
what you had before. From what you saw
for that well Erica, I know who I am, but I really hadn't uh yeah
Zona fie. Nobody. Yeah, Xena V. Nobody should be
miserable in paradise. Nobody should grieve in paradise.
Anyway, then he says that then we will return to our our abodes and
our spouses, they will visit us will see us will meet us and they
will say Marhaba and we're Alan
B Morehead Bina, it's just all full of love. Nobody's ever angry.
Nobody's ever said no.
When is too tired after cooking?
Nobody's too tired after working on the car, whatever it is,
nobody's tired after work, coming home and getting angry. It's just
everybody's just just pulling joven time, enough time for each
other.
And then the spouse will say,
you have just come.
And now you have such beauty and such fragrance that is way
superior to what you had left with is not that they had gone smelly
or something they'd already had. So now it's just come back with
something better. So they said yes, we've just sat with our Lord
al Jabbar today. The baraka to Allah Most blessing and Most High
is he and it is our absolute worth and right that if we've met him
like this, that we come back in the way that we've come back and
return
Yeah, Allah, Allah. Abdullah Abdullah Mubarak relates
from aniseed nomadic or the Allahu Anhu. He says he says basically
that Salima and Tamie related to us from aniseed nomadic or the
Allahu Anhu that the people of Jana will say that come on, let's
go to the market.
So they will go and they will first come upon these mounds of
musk. When they come back to their families they will say that they
say the same thing. You've just come back with better fragrance.
So they said yes. You've just come back. They will say themselves
that it looks like we've got better fragrance and we left to
it. So when they come back, their spouses will say to them that you
have better fragrance and what you left us with
well how fifth Mohammed Abdullah Abdullah Al hada Rami, he relates
it was chained from
Joby Dibner Abdullah the Allah Juan once the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam came upon us while we were he came out of his
house and we were sitting there gathering said oh group of
Muslimeen in Paradise is a market in which nothing is sold a boat
except
faces
except faces.
Whoever wants whoever whichever man or woman wants a better,
more handsome, more pretty and more beautiful
look,
then they will go and take from there so this is a special place
in paradise apparently that you will go there just to get a
facelift
but no Botox just beautiful facelift.
