Dear Islamic brothers! You have heard that how beautifully these blessed verses of the Holy Quran mention the bounties that are to be given to the dwellers of Paradise. The dwellers of Paradise will enjoy the mercy of Allah Almighty and relish different bounties in Paradise. Now, let’s listen to three blessed Ahadees of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.   

Blessed Ahadees

1. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: ‘Allah Almighty states: I have prepared such bounties for My bondmen which no eye has seen, no ear has heard of and no one has thought of.’ (Muslim, pp. 1162, Hadees 2824)

2. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: ‘There are 100 ranks in Paradise. Every two ranks have a distance of earth and sky in between them and Firdaus is the highest rank. From it, four rivers of Paradise flow and above it lies the ‘Arsh. So when you ask Allah Almighty, then ask for Firdaus.’ (Tirmizi, vol. 4, pp. 238, Hadees 2539)

3. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: ‘The place in Paradise where a whip could be placed is better than this world and all that it contains.’ (Bukhari, vol. 2, pp. 392, Hadees 3250)
