It is also said as a general hint about the heavenly bounties: La Hum Maa…Mazeed. (Surah Qaaf 50:35). It means, in paradise, there are all those things which they (the people of paradise) will desire and what is with Us in even more than what can wish.
At yet another place it is said: Wa Hum Fee…Khaallidoon (Surah Anbiya 21:102) meaning: The people of paradise, as they wish will remain in those bounties forever.
True Daarus Salaam (Peaceful Resting Place) Is Paradise
In brief, paradise is the place wherein there will be no sign of failure grief, sorrow, difficulty, hardship, trouble, weakness, agedness, illness, tiredness and idleness. There will be safety and security in every sense. That is why it is named Daar-us-Salaam. The real kingdom, in a sense that so much power that whatever is wished will be available at once. It is available only to the people of paradise.
Inna Ahlil Jannati Mulookun
Almighty God says in Surah Dhar: Wa Izaa Raai Ta…Kabeera. (Surah Dahr: 20) meaning: When you will look there you will see profound bounties and a great kingdom and grand rule.
Here we hint at some of the heavenly bounties mentioned in the Holy Quran: Wa Lahmi…(Surah Waaqiyah 56:21) meaning: Mutton of birds desired by them is available in paradise.
Wa Faa Kihatun… (Surah Ibid: 20) meaning: And all kinds of fruits wherefrom they will pick up as they wish.
Wa Faa Kihatun… (Surah Ibid: 32-33) meaning: And there will be many many fruits which will never decrease nor the people of paradise will be stopped from enjoying them.
Fee haa…ruhmaan (Surah Rahman 55:68) meaning: In paradise there will be fruit trees, dates and pomegranate.
In paradise, there will be springs of pure and clean water which will never get deteriorated and there will be rivers of milk the taste of which has neither changed nor will change and there will be canals of grapes wines which will be pleasing to drinkers (will not be smelling bad as is the case with worldly wines and which are also intoxicating and harmful) rather the heavenly wine will be good, fragment, tasteful, harmless, awakening and purifying.
Wa Saqqqhum…Tahoora (Surah Dahr 76:21) meaning: And their Lord will make them drink extremely pure wine.
Wa Anhaar…Musaffaa (Surah Muhammad 47:15) meaning: And there will be rivers of honey which will be clean of every dirt.
Names Of Heavenly Rivers Mentioned In The Holy Quran
There will also be many springs in paradise. The speciality and tastefulness of each and every one of them will be different from one another. They have been named as per their specialities, for example: The Camphor Spring, The Zanjabili Spring, The Salsabeel and The Tasneem. The most important of them all is The Kausar which is flowing from beneath the Divine Throne and which is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey, softer than butter. It will contain precious stone particles (embedded at the bottom) and they will be of Zabarjad, Yaaqoot and Marjaan. Its grass will be saffron and its mud will be more fragrant than musk. Akhbaar (narrations) mention that Kausar will flow from beneath the Arsh-e-Ilaahi; that it is flowing like a river in paradise and that it takes the shape of a big cistern (huaz) in the field of Mahshar, as has been said earlier.
Heavenly Dresses
Almighty Allah says in Surah Kahaf: Yuhal Law Na…Istabraq (Surah Kahaf 18:31) meaning: The people of paradise will be adorned with golden bracelets and they will wear dresses made of sundus (silk brocade) and istabraq (satin).
At another place in the Holy Quran it is mentioned: Wa Libaasuhuma…Hareer (Surah Hajj 22:23). Meaning: The wears of the people of paradise will be silken.
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) is reported to have said that when a momin (faithful person) will enter his heavenly palace crown of glory will be put on his head and he will be made to wear seventy hillas (robes) of various colours embedded with heavenly precious jewels. It is also mentioned that if any of those dresses is brought to the world people will not be able to look its shining.
Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) is reported to have said that the Lord of the Universe will provide a Karaamat (miracle) to the faithful every Friday in Paradise. On that day, He will send to the faithful momin dresses through an angel. Then that momin will put one of it on his waist and another on his shoulders. Then from wherever that man will pass the entire environment will brighten up with his radiance (Noor).
