The Paradise of Delights
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said about Paradise that in it is:
"What no eye has seen and no ear has heard and has never occurred to a human heart." [Al-Bukhaari, Muslim and others]
Ibn al-Qayyim said, in regards to the description of the Paradise and the delights that it contains:
"And if you ask about its ground and its soil, then it is of musk and saffron.
And if you ask about its roof, then it is the Throne of the Most Merciful.
And if you ask about its rocks, then they are pearls and jewels.
And if you ask about its buildings, then they are made of bricks of gold and silver.
And if you ask about its trees, then it does not contain a single tree except that its trunk is made of gold and silver.

Allah (subhaanahu wa ta`aala) has prepared for His servants, "What no eye has seen and no ear has heard and has never occurred to a human heart."

Recently I took a trip to see my Dad, who happens to be a non-Muslim, in order for him to meet the latest addition to our family, and in order for me to yet again try to convince him that he should accept Islam. While I was there, however, I found out something about him that I never knew before. My father is a workaholic. This man works seven days a week,...

We could go on and on, for the ahadeeth are vast in numbers, about the Prophet's descriptions of Paradise. But a place that has houses built with gold and silver bricks: where its dirt is made of rubies and sapphires and its inhabitants wear only the finest silk garments, sounds like a pretty exclusive neighborhood to me. Who are these people who will be allowed to live in this enchanting place? The Jews say the Jews. The Christians say the Christians. But Allah says, "And they say: 'None shall enter Paradise unless he be a...

This is because of their superiority over one another (in reward).”
One of the people asked, “O Allah’s Messenger! Are these lofty mansions for the Prophets which no one else can reach?”
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) replied, “No! By Allah, in whose Hands is my...

At first glance, we recall that its fullness signifies the middle of the lunar month. Pondering over the beauty of this creation is one thing, but a slightly longer gaze may also remind us of some ahadeeth of the Prophet (sallaAllahu alayhe wasallam), wherein esteemed virtues are compared to the full moon.The Noble Face of the Messenger of Allah (sallaAllahu alayhe wasallam),“Glad tidings to the one who believed in me and saw me, and sevenfold glad tidings to the one who believed in me but did...
