In Paradise, amid gardens, flowing drinks, and eternal peace, a believer sits among his companions. Their faces shine with relief and joy… the joy of having been saved.
As they speak, one of them pauses.
He says, “You know… I once had a companion.”
The others listen.
That companion, he recalls, used to mock him back in the world. He would say:
“Do you really believe this? That after we die and become dust and bones, we’ll be brou...See more
Narrating the pleasure and bliss of Jannah, Allah (Exalted is He) concluded in 37:61 by saying
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ
Truly, this is the supreme success!
How beautiful! The dwellers of Jannah said upon seeing all the pleasures in Jannah 'are we not going to die anymore'? 'truly this is the supreme success'
Whenever we go on enjoyable holiday, we felt like it should never end. But truly the only everla...See more
People of Jannah meet each other in Jannah and one of them would say 'Remember I used to have this qareen who used to misguide me by saying 'are you going to believe in this message of Islam, that when we die and become dust, are we going to be held accountable?

In Surah As Saaffaat; the people of Jannah w...See more
Imagine the relief when an inhabitant of Jannah is shown his friend is Jahannam. Imagining how he could have been in The Fire alongside that friend.
Inherent in this ayah is the powerful lesson on the influence of your environment and the influence of your friends. We emjoy and we are entertained by their meaningless and toxic company. This distracts us from knowing the real purpose of our lives on earth.
In the later part of the Quran , Allah begins to tell us in depth about The Hereafter. This is not a coincidence.
It is as if reading the Quran is like the extent of your life. You begin with strong belief in Allah and understand His rules.
Then you learn to implement those rules by reading about the prophets, you also learn how to return to Allah after breaking some of these commandments, as we all make mistakes.
In Surah Saaffat verses 83-109 contrast how Prophet Ibrahim AS was treated by his father and how Ibrahim AS as a father dealt with his son.
The elders are vexed by Ibrahim AS incessant preaching of one God and desire to keep worshiping idols.
This reminds me of generational differences and also generational trauma due to ungodly, ill informed elder-youth relations. In particular, the father - son relationship. Many young Muslim men today have ...See more
