Harun Yahya
(Adnan Oktar)
Whoever enters the Garden will be in bliss and suffer no distress; his
clothes will not wear out nor will his youth end. (Ahmad, Musnad;
at-Tirmidhi; Narrated by Abu Hurayra, Sahih Muslim)
No matter how beautiful, wealthy or healthy a person is, he cannot
escape death. Therefore, even if a person is wealthier than others, the
conditions of this world determine that this wealth can come to an end
and he may even be left destitute. One reason why worldly blessings are
transitory is because we desire the real and original blessings of the
Garden. All the beautiful things we see and the pleasures we enjoy in
this world are imperfect and transitory. However, these blessings in the
Garden have been created without being subject to time or causality. For
this reason the blessings of the Garden will last forever. In the Qur’an,
Allah announces the glad tidings of this eternity that will be enjoyed in
the Garden:
Their Lord gives them the good news of His mercy and good plea-
sure and Gardens where they will enjoy everlasting delight, re-
maining in them timelessly, for ever and ever. Truly there is an im-
mense reward with Allah. (Surat at-Tawba: 21-22)
[Those who have iman will be] remaining in them timelessly, for
ever, with no desire to move away from them. (Surat al-Kahf: 108)
Eternal Youth in the Garden:
Those who are remote from the teachings of the Qur’an are even
afraid of growing old while young. They think about the sickness and
helplessness that old age brings and are worried about whether or not
there will be someone to look after them when they get to that point.
There are many people who have such anxieties, who look pessimisti-
cally towards old age.
