Page 128 - Jannah: The Garden from the Qur'an and Hadith

ragrant aromas are a gift that Allah has giv-
en us. In this world, the most beautiful scent
only lasts a short time. The molecules of a
particular scent evaporate into the air and

our noses quickly become used to the scent;
this limits the pleasure that we can obtain
from a scent. But the duration of a scent can be
as important as the immediate pleasure it
gives. In his hadith the Prophet describes the
delight that beautiful aromas from the Garden
can give:
If one of the women of the Garden peeped into
this world, she would illuminate and fill with
fragrance everything between [heaven and

earth]. (Sahih al-Bukhari; Imam Ghazzali, Ihya
Ulum ad-Din, vol. 4)
