*JANNAH* (part 1) The Ultimate Goal Of oUr liFe


* * * PARADISE * * * (part 1)
IN THE LIGHT OF QURAN
. . The believer's ReAl HomE. .

Race each other to forgiveness from your Lord, and a Garden [i.e., Paradise] as wide as the heavens and Earth, prepared for those who do their duty. (Surah Al 'Imran, 133)
      Some people are indifferent to Paradise, saying: "If it comes; fine. If it doesn't, that's fine too."
However, in the afterlife there are only two possibilities: Paradise or Hell. There is no option to go to a place in between.

        It is clear that someone who does not appreciate Paradise as is due, who does not long for or desire to attain it, is unworthy of it and will never be admitted to it. There is only one place for such a person to go: Hell.
       For this reason, being indifferent to Allah's greatest grace and gift to believers and not desiring to enter it, as well as persisting in this attitude is one of the clearest signs that he or she belongs among the people of Hell.





WHAT IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF OUR LIFE ? ? ?




What do you want most out of life? A nice house, expensive clothes, money, wealth, opulence? What if you were told about a place where you could get everything you wanted and keep it forever? What would you say? Of course you would be very excited and want to see this perfect place right away. Surely no one would ever object to living in such a wonderful place.This place is called as. . .
Paradise - "the best place to be," and "the most beauteous of all goals."


        So what keeps people from being overcome with joy at the good news of Paradise? What stops them from longing for it, from expending every effort to attain it? Why do people, knowing that they will receive these blessings as a divine reward, not prepare for Paradise? Surely the most important reason is that some people do not have an assured faith that it exists; others are not convinced. There may be other reasons why people do not believe in or have doubts about it. But the basic thing that we must consider is that this doubt sometimes arises from a lack of knowledge.



The only remedy for this lack of knowledge is the Qur'an.


In the Qur'an, Allah describes a wonderful life of perfect and endless beauty in Paradise. Someone who does not know this beauty's extent or how the Qur'an describes it may have difficulty envisioning Paradise and the kind of life there




The ppl of Paradise. . The party of ALLAH . .How will be Their life of this world and afterwards. ..?

Ask your Lord for forgiveness, and then turn toward Him in repentance. He will let you enjoy a good life until a specified time, and will give His Favor to all who merit it. But if you turn your backs, I fear for you the punishment of a Mighty Day. (Surah Hud, 3)


A true believer enjoys the life of this World . . .within the limits prescribed by Allah and in the hereafter he gets Paradise for it. .it is because a true believer enjoys the life of this world by being aware of Allah"s blessings on him and being grateful to ALLAH swt . .and he obeys Allah swt , gets his good pleasure and tranquility , peace and calmness in his heart . .


"Truly do I love the love of good with a view to the glory of my Lord" (Surah Sad, 32)


The love of good here means. ..All the blessings of Allah swt and good things in this world . .
And in the hereafter . . Ofcourse there is a mighty reward. .


Gardens of Eden that they will enter, and all of their parents, wives, and children who have acted honorably. 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)

Know that the life of the world is merely a game and a diversion and ostentation, and a cause of boasting among yourselves and trying to outdo one another in wealth and children, like the plant-growth after rain, which delights the cultivators. But then it withers, you see it turning yellow, and then it becomes broken stubble. In the hereafter there is terrible punishment, but also forgiveness from Allah and His good pleasure. The life of the world is nothing but the enjoyment of delusion. (Surat al-Hadid, 20)



Another verse explains how people are blinded by illusion because of this earthly life:

Yet still you prefer the life of the world, when the hereafter is better and longer lasting. (Surat al-A'la, 16-17)
Gardens of Eden which the All-Merciful has promised to His servants in the Unseen. His promise is always kept. (Surah Maryam, 61)



The angels descend upon those who say:
 
"Our Lord is Allah,"
and then go straight:
"Do not fear or grieve, but receive the glad tiding of Paradise that you have been promised. We are your protectors in the life of the world and the hereafter. You will have there all that your selves could wish for. You will have there everything that you demand. Hospitality from the One Who is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Surah Fussilat, 30-32)


Anyone who acts rightly, male or female, being a believer, We will give them a good life and We will recompense them according to the best of what they did. (Surat an-Nahl: 97)


The believers have a sound heart in this world and they enjoy life in its real essence . .
They say : "Nothing can happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us" (Surat at-Tawba, 51).
Since they seek to please Allah, saying:
"Allah is enough for us and the Best of Guardians" (Surah Al 'Imran, 173-174),
No evil thing will touch them.

O God, seal my term with Thy pardon, verify my expectation in hoping for Thy mercy, smooth my paths to reach Thy good pleasure, and make my works good in all my states!
O Allah inculcate maturity (of thought and action) in me so that it stops me at the gate of ignorance; help me with guidance to cut off all links with every type of waywardness; let me have enough means to barricade the gaps of poverty, give me strength to avert weakness.
Our Lord! We have sinned against ourselves, and unless You grant us forgiveness and bestow Your mercy upon us, we shall most certainly be lost! (7:23)
