Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu
was Salam ala so you didn't want to sit in while early or saw me he
or Baraka so limit asleep and Kathy on laomi Dean Mr Barrett,
there are two sections coming up. One is people going to visit their
Lord
going to visit Allah subhanaw taala. And the other one is
specifically looking at Allah subhanaw taala, which is quite a
lengthy chapter because there's people who've denied that, that
Allah cannot be seen a light is too high and transcendent
and thus he cannot be seen according to some people. But
according to the Edison knowledge Amara, the way the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam explained in a hadith, Allah will be seen in the
hereafter by those by the Olia that we will be doing that later.
Currently, we're looking at this chapter and there's another one or
two chapters in between before we get to that, the chapter here now
is the 61st
chapter of the book, which is just about going to visit Allah
subhanho wa Tada. Imam Shafi has related this narration in his
Muslim, he relates it with his through his chain from an us
nomadic or the Allah one
who relates that once Gibreel Alehissalaam came with a mirror to
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
a clear white mirror but it had a spot you had a mark on it.
The Prophet sallallahu Sallam asked What is this? He said this
is Friday
Jumuah.
And by this you and your Alma has been have been distinguished by
Friday
and others will follow us of yours in that regard, meaning they come
after you in that regard. You've been distinguished you're ahead
and others that you who then Asara they
come after you in that regard.
Friday comes first as well. I mean, that's another thing. And
for you is all excellence within that there is a time on Friday.
Which if any believer coincides with it, while making dua to Allah
subhana wa Tada
for any goodness, then it will be answered for him.
And that day, according to us the angels is Yeoman moseyed is the
day of bonus, the day of addition, the day of extra so the Prophet
sallallahu some extent asked the Gibreel mama Yo Mama Z. What do
you mean by day of extra day of addition they have bonus.
So he replied that your Lord He He made a valley in Jannah in fear
dos actually inferior those he made a valley
in which there are mountains of musk. When it's Friday, Allah
subhanahu wa taala
causes as many angels as he wishes to descend
and around him
are placed pulpits stages
dignified seating areas made out of light
and some of these other seating places for the prophets.
So those are the closest around them.
surrounding them are other seating places are made out of gold. So
the prophets ones are made out of light.
surrounding them are those that are made out of gold, but studied
with
rubies and sapphires.
And upon them will be the martyrs and the very truthful ones.
Behind them on those mounds will be then city.
Other people will be sitting.
Allah subhanho wa Taala will say I am your Lord.
And I have made through my promise to you by bringing you in Jannah
so on so forth.
Now ask me whatever you want and I will give you
so he has everybody seated in this way. And then he says, I've
already given you what I've promised you now ask me whatever
you want. They will say our node we ask for your satisfaction we
asked for
Your pleasure.
So Allah will say, I am satisfied with you.
And now I will give you whatever you desire.
The Quran, Allah Yama terminate them,
it is upon Me I will give you whatever you desire, while the EMC
that I have even more than that, I have even extra I have beyond
that.
So they, the people of Japan will love Fridays, because of all of
the great things that Allah will give them during that day.
It is also the day when your Lord will be established on his throne.
And it is also the day that he created other mighty Salaam and it
is also the day that the Day of Judgment will occur. This hadith
in general is considered in a
narration That's weak. And that's why imminent team says that for
this hadith, there are other transmissions, which we will
mention later on in a specific chapter, about noraim Then has
another narration from Abu Bakr Al Eslami Radi Allahu Anhu from the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, who said that the people
of Paradise will come in the morning
will come to this market to visit Allah subhanaw, taala, etc, in one
type of suit. And then when they return, they'll have another type
of suit on their clothing.
Just like today, if any of you go to visit a dignified ruler or
something, some royalty, then that's generally how you go.
Likewise, you will go to visit your Lord in the Hereafter, you
will go and you will come back and you will have different garments
on
and how will they know this they will know this by specific signs
by specific notions that will let them know the exact time in which
they will go to meet Allah subhanaw taala.
abou aim has another narration
from Oliver the Allah says that, who relates that this is more of
narration, when the people of gender will have taken their
places an angel will come and say to them Allah the baraka with
Allah
has commanded that you visit him, he wants you to visit him. So they
will all gather together and then Allah subhana wa Tada will first
command Tao daddy salaam, he will raise his voice and glorify Allah
with the DIS be Subhanallah various forms of SubhanAllah tisby
and the Halle La Ilaha illa Allah then
ma ADA to hold
a spread of permanency will be placed
generally a spread is something upon which you're gifted something
on which food is spread gifts are spread. So this is my little hold
hold means permanence.
So, ya rasool Allah, what is my little hold, what is this spread
of permanence
says he related that this is
one just one area one corner of it
is going to be more extensive than the East and the West.
They will be fed, then they will be watered, then they will be
closed. And they will say that the only thing now that remains we've
had our food we've had our drink and we've had our garments and
clothing. The only thing that remains is that we would like to
see Allah subhanaw taala we'd like to have the beatific vision.
Allah subhanho wa Taala will become manifest for them.
And they will just fall down into frustration.
What a glorious sight that will be that they will just fall down into
frustration. You will be said to them, though, that now you are no
longer in an abode of action.
You don't have to do deeds, you're in the abode of reward. This is
all now reward for you know worship is expected from you now
the number of generations number of these generations but
we will mention all of them. The Huck, one of the commentators of
the Quran, with regards to the verse in Surah Maryam Yeoman
asuran with Delina Illawarra Murni with the
the day when we gather the righteous ones
towards the rock man.
We will gather them towards the Most Merciful One in groups
He explains that this will be either Naja a ballet or rehearsal.
This will be on these beautiful camels on which they will be
proper facilitation for them to sit.
The next section, an intermediate section here is about
what was showered down upon them. We've already had some indications
towards this because some of these narrations they include several
points so they already been mentioned in other chapters. But
this is what kind of
clouds there'll be some formations like clouds in the sky, and it
will shower down upon them.
We've already mentioned that earlier, that they will have a
shower of musk right, literally showers of musk of perfume and the
must there is obviously a whole different type of mass to what you
can get in this world.
Bucky holiday Mohammed he relates from cathedral Nomura that in the
middle mozzie
and the Mora Sahaba
be al Jana, part of the magazine and the addition the extra is that
these clouds will pass by the people of Jana and they will say,
No, it will say what would you like me to shower upon you? What
would you like us? What would you like me to gift and shower upon
you, anything that they desire will be showered upon them?
With just the various ways you will get things if not a bit dunya
relates another narration from
Abdulazeez IP number one sci fi Alia man he says that Abdullah as
he's number one asked him about the delegation of the people of
Jana,
he said that they will come to Allah subhanho wa Taala as a
delegation
every Thursday
and
they will be the seating arrangements made for them.
Every person will know His seat
just as he knows it, if not better,
just as he knows his place in in fact, he said just the way you
know your seat here that you're sitting you're sitting in
likewise, you will know every person will know His seating, once
they've sat down.
Then Allah subhanaw taala will say, Okay, now feed my servants,
feed my creative beings, feed my neighbors, feed my delegation, all
of these words, I'll take anymore a buddy will hulky wedgie Ronnie
over 50
So, they will be fed
then he will say give them to drink.
They will be brought various forms of drinks in various types of
vessels Mahatama that will be sealed
kita Moo hoo misc be sealed with musk
and they will drink from it.
Now, you might think that all of this some sounds kind of strange
and too sophisticated. But you know, like in Dubai, they're
selling burgers with gold foil.
For some crazy, it's got gold, it's gold leaf. So you get these
things, they just they they put this little small few grams of
gold between sheets and just bang, bang bang until it becomes
completely spread. So golden silver, they've used this in uni
medicine for a very long time. So, now somebody's called the idea of
a gold, gold plated burger essentially edible. So, they have
these kinds of things happen, right, some very expensive things
are added into these things. So in Ghana, this is just all in
abundance,
give them to drink. So all of these various types of vessels
will be brought to that will have these various types of drinks in
it, that will be have this kind of finishing, they will drink from it
says My servants, my creation my neighbors, my delegation have now
eaten and they have drank as well. Now Feki who which means give them
dessert give them their fruits. So
numb number of different fruits will now
be brought to them just dangling in front of them and they will
take from it and eat from it whatever they wish.
And then Allah will say that my servants, my creation, my
neighbors, my delegation have eaten, they have drank and they
have also had their fruits. Now give them clothing, give them
garments, and other gifts.
So now what's going to happen is
various flowers will be brought, flowers and of trees will be
brought both green, yellow and red.
Each one of these flowers of these trees, they will only produce
garments. Remember we read earlier that the garments will all be
produced from trees will be natural fibers.
All of these suits and these tunics Hello and welcome Wilson
will be straight in front of them.
And then he will say Allah subhanaw taala will announce my
servants my creation, my neighbors and my delegation. They've eaten,
they've had something to drink, they've had fruits to eat, and
they've also been given
garments to wear now
by eeboo,
now administer and give them fragrance.
So Musk will now be sprayed upon them. Just as you get sprinkling
of rain,
you know you got a drizzle of rain, likewise the mist this will
come about. And then he will say the same thing My servants, my
neighbors, my creation, my delegation, he's saying this in
honor, he seemed to honor them that they've eaten they've had
something to drink they've had their fruits they've been given to
wear and they've been given fragrance.
Now I will become manifest for them so that they can look at me
they can see me and when they see him, when he becomes manifest,
they will see him and by that their faces will become
resplendent.
They face their faces will become shiny. This is not dollar to do
not dollar to Jew. There's a hadith which says that
anybody who hears a hadith of Rasulullah Rossum and spreads it,
then this person's face will become resplendent.
So this place a person's face will become resplendent by looking upon
Allah subhana wa Tada. And then it will be said to them now go back
to your dwelling your places in paradise. When they get there,
their spouses will say, when you left, you left in a particular
appearance, and you've come back with a completely different
appearance.
They've had food and food and drink of paradise to eat. Just
imagine what's that going to do for them pure food.
We were eating junk these days, this is the problem.
And they will say that is because Allah subhanho wa Taala
appeared
and gave us sight gave us his beatific vision and we looked at
him and thus our faces became resplendent.
Allahu Akbar, Allah subhanho wa taala, even in this world has made
clouds
they actually saying that though we get rain in London.
But compared to other cities that are hotter than here, like Rome,
we actually get less rain, and they're saying you should conserve
your water.
Even though we get rain, can you imagine those places that don't
get much rain at all? We actually get some rain some of us. In fact,
there was a forecast that it would be raining today a lot of people
are complaining supposed to be summer, or spring and it's going
to rain. But Subhanallah it's, it's amazing. And, you know, when
you start looking at the universe, what Alaskan none of this sounds
then too far fetched.
The sun is our star.
It's what has kept us all in orbit, we are all pulled by the
gravity of the sun.
There's Proxima Centauri, there's Alpha Centauri these you can only
see from the surface, the southern hemisphere.
And one of them when you look at them. What you're seeing the light
from it has taken 1200 years approximately to get to us. Which
means that when it's light started traveling, which we can see today,
it was when the Romans ruling the world. It's amazing. Those are the
closest two stars after the sun.
And do you know how many stars there are in existence? 50 billion
stars in existence.
When you go into the whole cosmology and the whole physics,
it's amazing. It's just amazing that we are absolutely
achieved that we've got this consciousness in this small earth
that rotates around the sun.
Right among all of these other great planets and dwarf planets
and constellations and so on. If you look at the moon, it has
pock marks on it, but there's no water on the moon. Where did the
water on earth come from. So apparently just be on Jupiter,
there's this entire area and the earth many million years ago,
whatever was pummeled by all these water comets.
And that's where we're getting our water from. So it goes back into
our atmosphere evaporates and it comes back down evaporates, it
comes back down, this is what we got, we got no further supply of
water, essentially, that's what it is.
But it's amazing how the whole system is in. And when you say
50,000 stars, sorry, 50 billion stars, that's not even a joke.
The sun is actually a white star, but it looks yellow, because it's
blue light is what makes the scale of blue.
But if you go above a certain,
certain amount of
height, the sun will will look white. Because you get red stars,
blue stars and white stars, the blue stars are the most intense,
and they're the largest than the white stars. And then the red
stars, the Red Star stay for longest. Because all the stars
that you see, over the course of their life, they eventually
collapse because of their density, and so on and so forth. And they
just smash into supernova. And then more stars are created. And
all of these elements that you have in a lead and hydrogen, lead
and all of these other things they all get created. And essentially,
this is what we're working with in the whole world. It's quite
amazing, this space is amazing.
And Allah, we understand is who created that.
So this, this is just
Allah subhanho wa Taala has made the clouds
a source of mercy, and life. Without clouds rain, people start
really
having trouble
in this abode, the world has the perfect level of gravity, this
earth has the perfect amount of gravity for us to be able to
sustain ourselves.
Otherwise, if the gravity was more than that, we would find it very
difficult to move around. If it was less than that we'd be flying
all over the place, you wouldn't be very predictable. That way we
could walk like you do on the moon
is perfect balance, then Allah has given us water on here.
So he's made this water a source of the sustenance and the life of
the people.
Likewise, water it will be water that will give you life from after
the grave in your resurrection.
It says that when Allah subhanaw taala wants to resurrect everybody
after the day of judgment has passed sorry after the final day
has passed and he wants to enact the Day of Judgment. He will have
the mount will hire at rain down for 14 days.
For 14 days the rain it will rain down
and
this will come from under the OSH
everything in the earth then will start to grow the humans will
their whole bodies will start to grow we're 90% water anyway.
Right? The whole body will start to grow just like crops grow. And
then people will be given back their life the
the Trumpet will be blown, the souls will come back into
everybody and then it will be the day of judgment. You only a
calmness will ever believe me.
And then in paradise you get these clouds again that will then give
you spray upon us the fragrances and other great things.
But then there'll be people in hellfire who will who this will
shower the punishment upon them.
That's why when the Quran Allah subhanho wa Taala talks about
how they're already doomed Tirana Bill who are Mr. gel to be Rehan
fee have either been Aleem
to the miracle machine be Amuro beha
when the people of that profit, so this cloud they said this is a
cloud that's come to water us said no, this is the punishment that
you have hasent
This is the punishment that you have hastened so likewise in
hellfire that's what they're going to be dealt with.
People have who that is alarm people have Shai bunny, Salam
punishment came down upon them from clouds.
The next section is about sovereignty, possession,
Kingdom
Everybody's gonna be like a king, literally.
A king. A king means someone who owns everything. A prime minister
doesn't own anything. A president doesn't own anything. They're
elected by the people but kings, they have more impunity. In that
sense. They think they own everything in this world. So in
paradise, everybody becomes a king. Anybody who gets paradise
becomes a king, at least as much as 10 times that amount of this
world. And that's what you call Milk, milk and Holleyman as Allah
mentions in the Quran. Surah two Linssen what either are eight FM
or eight a dinner emo?
Caribbean Euro. When you look in that direction, you will see
bounties and a huge, massive kingdoms, which is going to be
yours.
That's where IGNOU abena ji ji says from Abuja hit that Milken.
Kabira means huge and great. In fact, the angels will then take
permission to enter upon you. They can enter into your paradise
without permission. It's just going to be yours. There's going
to be a concept of private privacy down there. Likewise, anybody else
that wants to enter like your servants and so on and so forth.
If not a bill Hawara he relates that
I heard about Sulaiman saying with regards to this verse what you
thought about either thumb or eat and their email and when can
Kabira Elmo Kabir, a huge kingdom
there will be a messenger from Allah, a delivery person from
Allah.
Who will come with some gifts, Amazon
this will be serious gifts
come with gifts and some subtle bounties.
However, he won't be able to get to the person, he will ask the
person who's standing God the door to his kingdom.
A steward of in Allah when he Allah, I am seeking permission to
visit the friend of Allah
I can't reach him
so now that God at the door at the gates will tell the second God he
will tell the third God and there'll be an how many but
eventually it will reach this person that there is a messenger
from the Lord of Might who can't come he needs permission. So then
he will say okay fine, let him come and that will go all the way
back and then the person will come in
Abu Huraira the Allah one relates that
that the lowest person in paradise and remember there's no inferior
person in paradise he clarifies well as I've been home Danny even
while a Sufi him then you there's no lowly person. This is just the
lowest person relatively speaking, is the one who
will be visited morning and evening.
By 15,000 Servants
15,000 servants. Now, clearly, there must be a reason why they're
coming.
Right? They're not redundantly just coming in hanging around
because you got lots of money and you can enter like if you go to
Egypt, they can literally they got so many army people there because
that's one of the only ways to earn money. Sometimes. They can
literally line the whole of Cairo, with police officers with Army
officers, they can just make him stand for miles and miles on and
this is their you know, and that's why the the army owns about 25 30%
of the whole economy. Right? Because they have to give them
some jobs to do it's crazy. But this is no this is the reason why
you're going to do this morning and evening. That's the lowest
person 15,000 servants are going to come and go some task or the
other whatever that may be.
And it says lay someone who has a demon in our matter who tougher to
lace at mass or heavy. Every single one of these servants is
coming for a different reason to the other one.
So 15,000 different activities. They're coming for. Everybody's
got a different job to do. Abdullah Hangul Mubarak relates
from a boy Abdurrahman Murphy
that for a person in paradise, his servants will line up two lines
and he won't be able to see the end of the those lines.
When he passes, they will walk behind him.
Another narration from Abu Seidel who do the ANA Rasulullah
sallallahu sallam said that the lowest person in paradise
In terms of level will have 80,000 Ha Them's
72 spouses. Again this generation is weak as we mentioned before.
And for him, these
domes, don't tense don't buildings will be made for him out of
Perl, Ruby, Sapphire
how big between Java and Santa in Yemen. That's how great these
buildings will be Subhanallah
if not a bit dunya has another narration
the hug evening wasa him relates that during while one of the woody
Allah, one of the friends of Allah will be in His abode,
one of the messengers of Allah will come to him and say that I
am, he will come.
And he will say that
he will take permission, and eventually he will get to him, and
he will place a gift in front of him and say, yeah, when he Allah,
your Lord has sent you Salaam
and he wants you to eat from here. Now, this is a special dish,
special delivery, no Deliveroo
Uber Eats this is going to be some serious.
Now he says that this will look very much alike some food that
he's already eaten,
it will look very similar to food that he's already eaten. So he
will say I've already had this before. I've already consumed
something like this before.
So, you know your Lord wants you to eat from here. So he will eat
from it.
And he will find
he will taste within it
the taste of every fruit of paradise,
he will taste from that one presentation that he has. And this
is where Allah subhanaw taala says what will to be he Mota shall be
that they will brought it will be it will be brought to him
resembling
it will just resemble one another. But the tastes will be different
if no theme decides in the middle here to bring a chapter which is
the 64th chapter that in Jannah will be those things that are
beyond your imagination.
And that just the
just the amount of one bow is superior to the entire dunya.
See proper luxury is that which has, everything has been paid
attention to. That's what you call proper luxury. When you know that
everything in the garment, everything from the way it's the
thread that has been used, the type of sewing the type of button,
of course, the type of cloth, the type of cut, everything has to be
taken into consideration, there can be nothing left to chance,
nothing should be normal. Everything is special part of it.
That's why it's expensive these things, because every part, we
look at it just think it's another suit. But no, it's expensive. It's
just another perfume. Why does it cost $2,000 2000 pounds is because
every
part of this perfume, every component in there is very
special, it's the best of the bits that's been put in there. And
that's what you're going to have in jail, it's just going to be the
best of the best. That's what it's saying that just one space of a
boat just that much in paradise, a spiritual entire world and
whatever you can have in this world.
There's just
if our gazes if our hearts can just be turned to that and
understand the significance of that, then the significant
fictions of this world will wane that I'm just waiting for that to
happen and make life easy.
Can you imagine that? Where you know, because once you start
shopping in a certain place, no longer can you shop in another
place? It's quite clear, right? You just like cannot go in there
anymore. Right? Once you taste a certain type of chocolate, like
there was one person who I know a friend of mine who loves this
chocolate, right? So every time I visit him or he comes here, I get
him some really good chocolate. So I remember I had mentioned to
somebody that he likes chocolate so they brought
a box of some different chocolates but a box of heroes or something
like this.
And okay, you know, heroes don't have anything. It's okay, you
know, but he says, yeah,
let me not take this one. You've got limited amount of space, you
only got to take the best. He's into his cadavers and things like
that these things don't taste
Right I do but for a lot of most people they find Godiva you know,
sorry. Heroes and roses are fine.
So it's just once you get that taste, I'm just making dua to
Allah that Allah give us the taste of Jana here. Just as he gave it
to the Prophet said Allah is something the Sahaba so that
everything else in the dunya just wanes and we don't have to worry
about it too much. It's just make life easier, isn't it?
They see the oh yeah, this is what they have, they have the taste of
John this is the karma that they have. This is the this is the
Divine Honor that given
that they get the feeling of paradise and thus, their heart
becomes associated with that, because well Lavina almond or I
should do Herban nila, the people who
are true believers, they are most intense in their love for Allah
subhanaw taala when you love you know it has we have to
you have to replace the love of everything. Right? With the love
of Allah, then it becomes easier. That's the difficulty. We just
love too many things of this dunya because we just don't think too
much about the hereafter.
Allah says in surah decision that Jaffa Zhu whom annual mobile
Algeria their own out of the home homophone watashi, WA me mount was
upon whom you have a boon for the Ala Moana Some fear that home mill
karate or even jazz
Bhima Bema aka No, we aren't Maroon.
This, this actually shows you the people who understand this. Their
sides remain separate from their beds. They call out to the Lord in
fear and in hope,
the fearing what they've done, but they're hoping as well for His
mercy. And they spend of that which we give them, whatever we
give them, but they spend of that they're very generous, they're not
attached to their possessions. And then Allah says, I mean, just the
next verse.
No soul knows what has been hidden, of the gladness of the
eyes, meaning something which will become the source of the gladness
of the eyes, as a reward for those who used to do who used to
practice. We used to do something.
Just see how he's made these contrasts.
Of
these people are praying in the middle of the night, a hidden time
when others are sleeping. People don't see them praying because
people are sleeping, that's hidden. So what do they get? They
get that which no knifes knows about, will ever think about. This
is Allah's way of giving rewards in a perfectly suitable and
matching way.
Then they have a fear.
They have fear and concern
while they're sleeping while they're lying down. And thus it
gets them up at night to pray. So Allah gives them the coolness of
the eyes in paradise, that we should be glad in their eyes.
That's why in the sahih al Bukhari Muslim famous generation from Abu
Huraira or the Allahu Allah Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
said that Allah says, I have created for myself for my
righteous servants that wish now I have seen no ears heard, and no
heart of any person has ever thought of. And this is as
mentioned by Allah in the Quran fella and I'm gonna assume ofii
Elohim mean karate or you can just be McHenry I'm alone.
That's why in Asahi Hain bullhide in Muslim from Abu Huraira, Viola
nurse, another narration La Cava la Cabo cosi de Conville Jana.
Just the you know,
your your bow, and the distance of your bow in Paradise is superior
to that which the sun and Earth which the sun sets and rises upon,
which is the earth is nothing in comparison.
You see, if there was just one virtue of paradise, if there was
just one virtue of Paradise which is
which is that there should be nothing that should be asked by
the countenance of Allah except paradise.
There should be nothing you should ask by the countenance of Allah,
like by the countenance of Allah give me this. The only thing you
should ask for that, because you're asking by the countenance
of Allah which is superior, which is mighty majestic. The only thing
that's worthy of being
Gospel through the countenance of Allah is paradise
and that in itself shows sufficiency in that regard
so there's a narration insulin libido from
jab at me Abdullah in Saudi Arabia Allah Han says Rasulullah
sallallahu sallam said
law use l be wedge Hila he lil Jana.
Nothing should be asked by the countenance of Allah through the
countenance of Allah except paradise. Nothing else is worthy
if you're going to use them say by Allah's Countenance give me this,
then make sure it's paradise and nothing else.
Now what's very interesting is that his narration Bharani
similar. So allah sallallahu sallam said that when Allah
created Jana, to Adam, remember Jana to Adam is the close the the
gardens that are close to the OSH to the center.
Allah created in it that which no I have seen no ears heard and that
has never occurred to the hearts of anybody. Then he said to it,
speak.
Said a fella helped me know
that it's the true believers who will gain this fella and this
success. See how Allah subhanahu wa taala has
given the value and the price of the Abode that he has planted with
his own hands, because remember, Jana is Jana gardens, a bother to
none
ashore and it's basically lots of trees and everything which Allah
subhanaw taala has planted himself. He has made it the abode
and the final abode of his beloved ones. He has filled it with his
honor with his mercy with his satisfaction.
He has described its bounties as the highest winning and success
and
he has described it as being the greatest kingdom.
He has put every single beauty and goodness and excellence within it.
And he has also then purified it from every form of calamity or
deficiency. Thus, there is no urination. There is no defecation.
There is no burping there is no vomiting. There is no menstruation
there is nothing of that nature in paradise. The whole human is going
to be kitted out differently.
So now if you ask about its land, and its soil, then that is musk
and saffron and saffron. If you ask about its roof, then that is
the arch of the Most Merciful. And if you ask about its mortar, then
that is the pure musk. And if you ask about its pebbles, then that
is the pearls and the other emeralds and rubies and if you ask
about how it will be built, then it is one
brick of silver and one brick of gold and if you ask about its
trees, then there is no tree in there except that its trunk is
made of gold or silver. Not of would not have wood and if you ask
about its flowers, then they are as big as they are as large as big
pots and softer. softer than softer than
silk and sweeter. It is sweeter than honey if you ask about its
leaves, then it would be more beautiful than the softest of
garments. If you ask about its rivers, then it's rivers of gold.
Of sorry of milk that never changes its flavor never changes
its taste and of wine. That is a source of great pleasure for those
who drink it and have honey that is completely pure. No doubt
within that. If you ask about its food, then it is the fruit of your
choice. And
it is the flesh of the of the bird that you would like to eat. And if
you ask about its drink, then it is of Tasneem NS and xinja Beelen
Carrefour, which is your Tasleem and your your ginger and of
camphor. And if you ask about its vessels, then those vessels are
made of gold and silver, but with the polish of glass. And if you
ask about how wide its doors are, then between its two door posts is
like 40 years of travel and a day
You will come upon it, when it will be busy because of the people
that will go through it. And if you ask about how the winds will
pass through the trees and their leaves, then it will give you the
sound that will give you greatest of enjoyment. And if you ask about
its shade, then there is a single tree in there in which a person
mounted on one of the fastest of horses will be able to travel 100
years in its shade and still not be able to traverse it. And if you
ask about its width and its greatness, then understand that
the lowest person in the will be able to travel around in his
kingdom
and among his palaces, for 2000 years, among his palaces, his
gardens, his orchard for 2000 years, you can just go around them
and you won't see him, you think you're gonna get bored in there.
And if you ask about its palaces, then they are horror full been
foci huruf. They are basically chambers, upon chambers, upon
chambers,
beneath which rivers will flow, how that formation is only Allah
subhanho wa Taala knows. And if you ask how high it is, then just
look at the twinkling stars.
Or just look at one of the planets in the heavens, which you can
hardly see you can just see, you can just see their twinkle. And if
you ask about the garments of the people of paradise, then that is
made of silk and gold. And if you ask about what they will lie down
upon and recline upon, and that is made out of silk and brocade, and
it will be of the highest category. If you ask about the
special seating arrangements that are like the pavilions in which
they will sit, then they will be studied with buttons of gold, and
they will be no defect in it whatsoever. And if you ask about
the faces of the people who will dwell they're in, and their beauty
than they are like the moon, and if you ask about the age, then
their age is 33 years of age, according to the form of Adam, who
has the idea he's salaam, the father of all of humanity. And if
you ask about what you will enjoy listening to, and the songs that
will be in paradise, then it will be the songs of their spouses of
the holy land. And more than that and greater than that, more
pleasurable than that will be listening to the sound of the
angels and the prophets. And then even above that, will be listening
to the sound, the speech of Allah subhanho wa Taala and if you ask
what they will be traveling upon, to visit one another, they will be
traveling upon these very special camels, which Allah subhanahu wa
taala will create for them and it will go with them wherever they
want, within the gardens within the paradise and if you ask about
the adornments, then it will be bracelets of gold and of Pearl and
upon their heads will be crowning them with will be will be crowns.
And if you ask about the servants, then four will learn on Mohalla
Dune, they are these perpetual, perpetual, perpetual children that
will be like
hidden pearls.
And then if you are to ask about their spouses, then that will take
an entire dollars.
So we will have to leave that for some other time. Because when he
talks about his spouse's Allahu Akbar, as you can tell he is in a
different world here.
So inshallah we'll look at the spouses another time.
