Paradise-Jannah,- Allah's Promise

To those who will come into His Presence as believers, Allah gives the
promise of Paradise, wherein they will remain forever. As there is no
doubt that this promise will be fulfilled, those who believe with
certainty will never doubt its truth. Moreover, if they have
surrendered their souls to Him as believers, they know that their sins
will be forgiven and that they will be accepted into Paradise. The
following verse makes this clear:
Gardens of Eden which the All-Merciful has promised to His servants in
the Unseen. His promise is always kept. (Surah Maryam, 61)
The fact that Allah has promised Paradise to believers brings them
anindescribable joy and enthusiasm. They know that Allah wills
Paradise for His faithful servants, and that He has made them its
heirs. Here is another verse that mentions this promise:
Is someone to whom We have promised good andwho then obtains it like
someone to whom We have given enjoyment inthe life of the world and
then, on the Day of Rising, is one of those brought to punishment?
(Surat al-Qasas, 61)
If Allah has promised Paradise to any individuals, they will attain
eternal blessings with Allah's permission. And when believers enter
Paradise, they will certainly express their thanks to Allah in this
way:
They will say: "Praise be to Allah Who has fulfilledHis promise to us
and made us the inheritors of this land, letting us settle in Paradise
wherever we want. Howexcellent is the wage of those who work." (Surat
az-Zumar, 74)
Believers who have beengiven the good news several times during their
earthly lives, and towhom Allah has promised Paradise, will receive at
the end of their lives that for whichthey hoped. Finally, that
long-awaited moment will come. The place thatthey have contemplated
throughout their lives, prayed to attain, and striven to be worthy of
isParadise - "the best place to be," and "the most beauteous of all
goals." This perfect placewas prepared for believers, and its doors
are opened to them.
The following verse gives a unique view about their entrance into Paradise:
Gardens of Eden that they will enter, and all oftheir parents, wives,
andchildren who have actedhonorably. Angels will enter in to welcome
them from every gate:"Peace be upon you because of your steadfastness!
How wonderful is the Ultimate Abode!" (Surat ar-Ra'd, 23-24)
They will be welcomed into Paradise "with greetings and [words
of]peace" (Surat al-Furqan, 75), and enter there "in peace, in
complete security!" (Surat al-Hijr, 46). There is only one thing left
to do: to discover the beauties of this eternal land prepared for
believers and endowed with every kind of blessing.
