the Garden. Above all, time has a destructive ef-
fect on all worldly beauty. For example, if a man-

sion is unused and is abandoned, it will fall into
decay. Its furnishings will age and become
mouldy from moisture and damp and begin to
rot. The resilience of their fabrics will decrease
over time and their colours will fade. The fur-
nishings will become covered with layers of dust
and there will be spiders’ webs everywhere. In
the course of time, such a beautiful dwelling will

become unliveable. But the dwellings of the
Garden are not subject to all these imperfections
or to the destructive ravages of time. When the
Qur’an describes these mansions of the Garden,
it says that rivers flow beneath them and that
they are built on high and secure places:
As for those who have iman and do right ac-
tions, We will lodge them in lofty chambers

in the Garden, with rivers flowing under
them, remaining in them timelessly, for
ever. How excellent is the reward of those
who act. (Surat al-‘Ankabut: 58)
It is not your wealth or your children that
will bring you near to Us – only in the case
of people who have iman and act rightly;
such people will have a double recompense

for what they did. They will be safe from all
harm in the High Halls of the Garden.
(Surah Saba’: 37)
