JANNAH:
                                         The Garden from
                                       the Qur’an and Hadith
















                                     it gives him a special joy, he gains a particular
                                    pleasure when he sees the same qualities in other
                                  Muslims. This timeless pleasure, happiness and
                                beauty grow and increase in the Garden. In one of the
                             hadith, our Prophet  describes the environment of the
                           Garden:
                         … There will be no disagreement or any hatred amongst them.
                        Their hearts will be as one heart, and they will glorify Allah
                        morning and evening… (Narrated by Abu Hurayra, Sahih
                        Muslim)

                             Similar hadith make mention of the character of the peo-
                        ple of the Garden:
                        Their character will be according to the character of one man.
                       (Mukhtasar Tadhkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 329/579)
                            Similarly, Allah says the following about His faithful

                       slaves whom He finds worthy of the Garden: “We will strip
                       away any rancour in their hearts – brothers, resting on couches
                        face-to-face” (Surat al-Hijr: 47) and He tells us of the sincere,
                        heart-felt friendship in which they live.

                              There Will Be No Sadness or Anxiety:

                              Those who have no deen very often experience the pain
                          of sadness and anxiety. They do not consider that Allah has
                          created everything subject to a decree, and are overwhelmed
                          by fear and panic when they experience adversity or diffi-
