Jannah: The Garden from the Qur'an and Hadith 5. They will have there everything they want and with Us there is still more. (Surah Qaf: 35)

Of course, our capacity to grasp the descriptionsof the Garden
throughout this book are limited by the limitations of the humanmind.
Indeed, the perfection and beauty announced by Allah in the Qur'an and
described in the hadith of our Prophet are too great for a human
beingto conceive of with his intellect. One can only begin to
understand the beauty of the Garden by comparing it with blessings one
knows in this life. The beauty of the blessings that our Lord has
prepared there for His faithful slaves willtruly be understood onlyin
the Hereafter (akhira).The pleasure they will give to the human spirit
can only be tasted there.The reason for this is that Allah has
vouchsafed these blessings and good things only to His slaves who have
faith. He has withheld the blessings ofthe Garden from those who
reject Him. In the Qur'an we are told that those who do not enter the
Garden will experience a deep longing for it in the Hereafter and that
their lives there will be full of sorrow. They will long for the
Garden and will wish in eternal sorrow that they had entered it. Of
course, they were aware in this life of the existence of the Garden
and its beauty, but they ignored it. They focused all their attention
on thisworld thinking they could satisfy the longing of their hearts
in this life.
It is hoped that what is written in this book will be a means whereby
people caught up in serious error may understand that real life will
be lived only in the Hereafter, and thus they will spend their lives
striving to win the favour of the Lord. It will, we hope, increase the
pleasure and determination of peoplewith faith as well as their
longing to attain the Garden; it will lead them to strive to do good
works so that they may be slaves beloved by Allah.
