JANNAH – WHAT A BEAUTIFUL NAME

The description of heaven is a beautiful garden, filled with greenery and flowing water. The Arabic word, Jannah, means “garden.”

 

“But give glad tidings to those who believe and work righteousness, that their portion is gardens, beneath which rivers flow” (Quran 2:25).

 

“Be quick in the race for forgiveness from your Lord, and for a garden whose width is that (of the whole) of the heavens and of the earth, prepared for the righteous” (Quran 3:133)

 

“Allah hath promised to Believers, men and women, gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein, and beautiful mansions in gardens of everlasting bliss. But the greatest bliss is the good pleasure of Allah. That is the supreme felicity” (Quran 9:72).

 

The people of Jannah will reunite with their parents, their spouses, and their offspring.

“Gardens of perpetual bliss: They shall enter there, as well as the righteous among their fathers, their spouses, and their offspring. Angels shall enter to them from every gate (with the salutation): ‘Peace be with you because you persevered in patience! Now how excellent is the final home!'” (13:23–24)

 

“And whoever obeys God and the Messenger—those will be with the ones upon whom God has bestowed favor—of the prophets, the steadfast affirmers of truth, the martyrs and the righteous. And excellent are those as companions!” (Quran 4:69).
