JANNAH:
The Garden from
the Qur’an and Hadith

In several hadith, our Prophet describes the trees of the
Garden:
The trunk of every tree in the Garden is of gold. (At-Tirmidhi)

In the Garden we will witness Allah’s incomparable and endless
creation in which everything is possible. For example, the fruit of the
trees in the Garden will resemble rubies, diamonds, sapphires and oth-
er precious stones but become edible when people pick them.

The Rivers and Seas in the Garden:

Sources of water are abundant, refreshing and cleansing, and
places near water often have a climate that is both more liveable and
pleasing to people because of its temperateness. For this reason, places
that people choose for relaxation are often near the sea, on lake-shores
or on the banks of rivers. So, in the Qur’an, Allah, glorious is He and
exalted, says that those who have taqwa will, by Allah’s mercy, be
“amid Gardens and Springs.” (Surat al-Hijr: 45)
