JANNAH:
The Garden from
the Qur’an and Hadith

The Messenger drew attention to the colour and variety of fruit in
the Garden. The fact that they are so different from one another will be
pleasing to people. They will not always have the same shape, smell,

taste or colour; they will be created in such a variety that people will be
surprised and excited because every time they see them will be like the
very first time. These are only one of the manifestations of Allah’s end-
less creative power and artistry. This variety, which in the world is al-
ready overwhelming, will be without limit in the Garden.
The blessings of the Garden will be presented to its people in the
most pleasant way. Allah will give them a banquet and servants creat-
ed for this service will serve the various fruits to them on gold and sil-
ver trays, doing so with pleasure and attention. In one verse, Allah
says:

We are your protectors in the life of this world and the Hereafter.
You will have there all that your selves could wish for. You will
have there everything you demand. Hospitality from One Who is
Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surah Fussilat: 31-32)
A Bedouin came to the Prophet and asked him “Is there
fruit there?” He said, “Yes, and there is a tree called
Tuba,” and he mentioned something which I do
not know what it was. The Bedouin asked,
“What tree of this land does it resemble?”
