Mufti Menk – Jannah Is Better Than That

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala makes it quite clear

that in this world you will get a

lot but you may not get what you

want because this world is not all about

getting what you want. For that we have

kept a certain place known as Jannah, paradise.

We always say

paradise would lose its value

if you had to have everything you wished

for in this world. Because then you would

get to the hereafter and say, well I

already had a life where I got everything

I wished for. What's the point of having

this life? Therefore part of the plan of

Allah is none of us,

no exception to this, will ever get every

single thing we just wish for. No. There

has to be restriction in order for us

to appreciate Jannah.

The day Allah says,

In it there is

everything that the soul shall desire.

Everything

the soul desires, you will achieve.

You will have. It will be yours. You

will get it on condition that you desire

that while you are in paradise.

From now,

these minds of ours may not even know

what is there. The hadith says,

In Jannah, there are things that

no eye has ever seen. So if you've

seen something, trust me it's not there.

You know, every time the women get excited,

I'm happy. Her husband's not gonna be there.

We don't mean that. He will be there

but with a with an absolutely

perfect character,

perfect mind, perfect body according to your taste.

Now do you want him? Some women will

still say no.

That's how much we've harassed them, my beloved

brothers. And I think vice versa as well.

May Allah

save us.

Oh, the men are saying Amin. Allahu Akbar.

Allahu Akbar.

But the ultimate goal is such that my

brothers and sisters,

when you arrive there you won't regret having

worked hard for it.

But when you see others going in and

you are not from among them, there will

be regret.

May Allah forgive us. May Allah take us

to Jannah through his mercy. Because our deeds,

sometimes we know and we feel that the

sincerity levels or the manner in which we've

done our deeds or the amount of deeds,

if it's not for the mercy of Allah,

we're still not going to go to Jannah.

We are weak.

So the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says,

in Jannah is that which no eye has

ever seen,

No ears have ever heard of

or no ears have ever heard. So if

you've heard something or heard of something, trust

me what is in paradise is something far

better.

And in it

is that which no

it does not cross the mind.

It does not even cross the heart of

a human. So if if in your imagination

something has crossed your imagination,

your mind, your heart,

Trust me injunah

is better than that. You have no clue

what is

being prepared or has been prepared in fact

there.

But we need to work towards it.
