Page 35 - Jannah: The Garden from the Qur'an and Hadith

Harun Yahya
(Adnan Oktar)

In the following pages several hadith are included illustrating how
beautiful it is to dwell in the Garden and we will describe its wealth at
the same time. The beauty of these places, apart from their aesthetic

qualities, comes from the value of the materials used to decorate them.
In a hadith, our Prophet replied to someone who asked about what ma-
terials the Garden is built from:
One brick of gold and one brick of silver, its mortar is of strongly
scented musk, its stones are pearls and emeralds, and its soil is of
saffron … (Narrated by Abu Hurayra, at-Tirmidhi)

The wealth promised to the people of the Garden is limitless; it is
in abundance, and there is no worry that it will ever be used up.

The Treasures of the Garden:
These treasures mentioned earlier in the hadith emphasise the

splendour of the Garden. When thinking about this, we should remem-
ber that it is a creation of Allah Whose possessions are limitless and He
gives them to those of His slaves whom He wills. And in case we think
of those treasures in entirely material terms, our Prophet reminds us in
these words:
“Shall I not guide you to one of the treasures of the
Garden?” I said: “Yes, Messenger of Allah!” Thereupon
he said, “La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah –
There is no change of a condition nor power ex-
cept by Allah.” (Narrated by Abu Musa
(r.a.), Sahih al-Bukhari; Sahih
Muslim)
