37:48-49
o Heaven will be a sinless place of peace.
"They shall not hear therein vain or sinful discourse, only the saying, 'Peace! Peace'." - Al-Waqia (The
Event)
56:25-26
"The righteous (will be) amid gardens and fountains (of clear-flowing water). (Their greeting will
be): 'Enter ye here in peace and security.'" - Al-Hijr (Stoneland) 15:45-46
"Gardens of Eternity, those which (Allah) Most Gracious has promised to His servants in the
Unseen: for His promise must (necessarily) come to pass. They will not there hear any vain
discourse, but only salutations of Peace; and they will have therein their sustenance, morning
and evening." -Maryam (Mary) 19:61-62 Apparently that is because most of them are in Hell (Al-
Bukhari 1:2:28; 2:24:541; 4:54:464). A Hadith proverb relates an instance where Muhammad
claimed that a man in the grave was being tortured (in Hell) for soiling himself with urine (Al-
Bukhari 1:4:215, 217; 2:23:443, 460).
o The Qur'an makes no mention whatsoever about a woman's place in Heaven.
• The Hadith gives further detail about Heaven.
o People's faces will glitter like a full moon.11
o People will not have to relieve bodily functions (spit, blow their noses, urinate).11
o People's sweat will smell like musk.11
o All men will have two wives of exquisite beauty.11
o Table bowls will be made of aloe wood and the utensils will be made of gold and silver.11
o There will be no differences or hatred among the residences of Heaven.12 mentioned only in a single
Hadith of Al-Tirmidhi.
o There is a tree so large that a rider can travel in its shade for 100 years without crossing it.13
o Those entering heaven will return to their original state: 60 cubits (90 ft / 27.4 m) tall in the form of
Adam.14
• The Hadith is very generous when it comes to listing those who will surely be in Heaven.15
o Prophets
o Martyrs
o Infants and children buried alive
o Women who have had children die
