Page 155 - Jannah: The Garden from the Qur'an and Hadith

need, make up for a deficiency or repair a flaw; it will be a wonderful
blessing from Allah simply for the delight of the people of the Garden,

and Allah knows best.
Here is an example of this from the hadith:
A man asked the Prophet , “Messenger of Allah, are there any hors-
es in the Garden?” He replied: “If Allah makes you enter the Garden,
if you wish to ride in it on a horse made of red ruby that will fly you
wherever you wish you will do so.” At this, another man asked,
“Messenger of Allah, are there any camels in the Garden?” but he did
not reply as he had to the first man. He said “If Allah makes you en-

ter the Garden you will find everything your self desires and that is
pleasing to your eye.” (At-Tirmidhi; Al-Hafiz ibn ad-Dayba ash-
Shaybani, Taysir al-usul ila Jami al-usul, p. 431/14)
The everything your self desires and that is pleasing to your eye
mentioned in the hadith is not limited by this world’s limitations or our
imaginations. In the Qur’an, Allah calls our attention to the richness of
His blessings: “… they will have there all that their hearts desire and
their eyes find delight in…” (Surat az-Zukhruf: 71) Other verses that
tell us about this are the following:

… You will have there all that your selves could wish for. You will
have there everything you demand. (Surah Fussilat: 31)
… They will remain there timelessly, for ever, among everything
their selves desire. (Surat al-Anbiya’: 102)
There are many things we desire to do in this world but cannot do,
because of lack of time or because there is a risk involved. For example,

many people like dangerous sports such as driving fast cars or motorcy-
cles, spending hours deep-sea diving or skiing on high mountain slopes
or sky-diving from great heights, but these are all sports that put a per-
son’s life at risk.
