Page 2 - Jannah: The Garden from the Qur'an and Hadith

O ur Lord has created every human being to take delight in

beauty and perfection, and has given us a spirit to yearn for
these things. For this reason, from the first moment we
start to understand life, we feel a constant desire to attain this per-
fection. We are always searching for the blessings of beauty around
us. But, no matter how much we may desire these things and no mat-
ter how great our effort to attain them, we will never attain this per-
fection in this life. This is because Allah has created human nature to
be content only in the Garden, and the desires of the human heart
can only be fulfilled there. Allah has created this worldly life to be
wanting and deficient and, indeed, there are reasons for these defi-
ciencies. One of the reasons for the creation is to allow human beings
the opportunity to make a sincere effort to attain the absolute beau-
ty of the Garden.
Everyone would like a world without sickness, death, war, battle,
need and anxiety, and everyone looks for ways to live a happy, prob-
lem-free life. However, in the Qu'ran Allah says that human beings
will be able to live such a life only in the Garden. That is easy to at-
tain: we must live lives that are pleasing to Allah. Then – Allah will-
ing – we will attain a perfect and endlessly happy life, a life more
wonderful than we could ever have desired or imagined.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Adnan Oktar, who writes under the pen-name Harun
Yahya, was born in Ankara in 1956. Since the 1980s,
the author has published many books on faith-related,
scientific and political issues. He is well-known as the
author of important works disclosing the imposture of
evolutionists, their invalid claims, and the dark liaisons
between Darwinism and such bloody ideologies as fas-
cism and communism.
All of the author’s works share one single goal: to convey the Qur'an's
message, encourage readers to consider basic faith-related issues such as
Allah's existence and unity and the Hereafter; and to expose irreligious
systems' feeble foundations and perverted ideologies. His more than 300
works, translated into 63 different languages, enjoy a wide readership
across the world.
By the will of Allah, the books of Harun Yahya will be a means through

happiness promised in the Qur'an.
