Page 81 - Jannah: The Garden from the Qur'an and Hadith

Harun Yahya
(Adnan Oktar)

The food and fruits of the Garden come to the people there without
flaw, and without effort on their part. Allah tells us in the Qur’an that
these fruits are very accessible. “Its shading branches will droop down

over them, its ripe fruit hanging ready to be picked.” (Surat al-Insan:
14) When they are picked from the trees they are not dusty but already
clean and have a wonderful taste. In another verse, Allah says the fol-
lowing about the fruits of the Garden:
That is the Garden you will inherit for what you did. There will be
many fruits in it for you to eat. (Surat az-Zukhruf: 72-73)

In the Garden, food is not eaten out of necessity, but as a blessing
and free gift from Allah. People will be freed there from weaknesses
such as hunger and thirst.
A quality of the blessings of the Garden mentioned in both the
Qur’an and the hadith is their abundance. Allah revealed in Surah Sad
that provision there will be without cost and will never be used up:
This is what you are promised on the Day of Reckoning. This is
Our provision which will never run out. (Surah Sad: 53-54)

The Abundance of Fruit:
In this world, fruits are pure foods that clean the body of
toxins and give resistance to disease; they are very rich in
vitamins and minerals, and are refreshing and give health
and even beauty. The Messenger of Allah said the fol-
lowing about this blessing of the Garden:

When opened, each fruit of the lote-tree of the Garden
yields seventy-two colours and types of food, and no
colour or type is like any other. (Mukhtasar Tadhkirah
al-Qurtubi, p. 312/517)
