Transcripts
Abdullah Ibn Masood radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu narrates that
the prophet SallAllahu 'Alaihi Wasallam said
"I have seen the very
last person to get out of hell and enter into Jannah."
Now I want you to think about this man
and there are several narrations about him.
This is the person who has the very least faith
in hellfire, an atom's worth of faith in his heart
to where Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la takes him
out at the very end from Jahanam to enter him into paradise.
Yet look how Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la is going
to treat this man.
The prophet SallAllahu 'Alaihi Wasallam said
he comes crawling
out entirely scorched, and he looks back
at hellfire and he says, "Alhamdulillah I'm done with you."
And then Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la tells him
"Go ahead and enter into the Garden of Paradise."
So in this narration, he goes
and he enters into the Garden of Paradise.
But what he finds is
that the people have all occupied their homes.
So imagine he goes through the neighborhoods
of Jannah and he says, "I don't see anything.
It looks like all the houses are occupied."
So he comes back to Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la and he says,
"Ya Rab! Qad akhatha al-nas ul-manazil"
"Oh my lord! The people have taken
all of the homes.
There was no for sale sign
there was no home with my name on it.
What do I do?"
And Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la says to him,
"Atathkuru zamana alathy kunta feehi"
"Do you even remember the time that you were in?
Like, do you have any recollection of time?
Do you know where you are?
Do you know how long you were in hellfire?
Do you remember anything about your existence
before being in Jahannam for all of those years?"
So he says, "yes."
So Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la says to him,
"Tamanna. Make a wish."
So he's going to think and say, "I wish for something
and for the entire kingdom of the world", meaning what?
"Everything that existed of Mulk, of kingdom
that this dunya ever possessed, everything
from Suleiman 'Alayhi Salaam's kingdom
Dawood 'Alayhi Salaam's kingdom
to Firaun and Qarun
Right
I want it all Oh Allah to be given to me."
And Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la says to him,
"Fa-inna laka alathy tamanayta,
wa'ashrata adh'afi dunya"
"You know what you have that something that you wished for
and you have the whole world 10 times over."
So this man just got out of hellfire,
has very little belief in his heart, right?
Is the last person to go in.
He couldn't even find a house in Jannah for himself.
And now, he makes a wish
and Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la says,
"You get what you wish and I'm gonna give you
the whole world times 10,
everything that existed in this world times 10."
And he says,
"Ya Rab, Oh my Lord,
"Atahza'u minee, wa anta Rabbil'Alameen?
"Are you making fun of me,
And you are the Lord of all the worlds?"
And Ibn Masood radiAllahu Anhu started to laugh.
And he said, "Why are you laughing?"
He said, "Because the prophet SallAllahu 'Alaihi Wasallam
started to laugh
and he laughed so much that you could see his back teeth."
And we said, "Ya Rasulallah, why are you laughing?
He said, "Because Allah laughs when the man says this
and says to him, 'I'm not making fun of you
Walaa kinnee 'ala ma asha'u qadir
"But I have power over whatever I want."
Meaning I can do whatever I want.
SubhanAllah
So what is Jannah to you?
It might be different for everyone to an extent
because in this life we don't all like the same things
or necessarily want the same things.
But you have to realize that you're dealing
with Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la who created you
who knows what pleases you and is promising you
a paradise that will forever please you.
Now, will what pleases you here be the same thing in Jannah?
In some cases, yes. And in some cases, no,
because we have different wants in Jannah.
But in some ways no two people's Jannah
is going to look exactly the same.
And when Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la
speaks about Jannah in the Qur'an,
he's speaking to generally
what will motivate the men and the women.
So Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la is giving us things
that fit the majority,
that fit the generalities,
knowing that there are specific things
that different believing men and women are going to want.
And Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la is not going to disappoint.
So when you think about Jannah
do you want to fly in Jannah like Ja'far
radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu, with the angels?
Do you want to hang out
and kick back on a particular beach with particular people?
If you're a kid, do you wanna play with your Pokemon cards?
What do you want in Jannah? Jannah is what you want.
Jannah is what you wish.
Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la says
wafiha ma tashtahihi l-anfus wataladhul a-'yun
"That in it is all that the souls desire
and the eyes delight in,
wa-antum fiha khalidun
and you will be there forever."
and Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la says,
walakum fiha ma tashtahi anfusukum walakum fiha ma tadda'un
"You will have all that your soul desires
and anything you ask for."
So Abu Hurayra radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu
He says that while the prophet SallAllahu 'Alaihi Wasallam
was talking one day, there was a Bedouin.
And this Bedouin comes to the
prophet SallAllahu 'Alaihi Wasallam
and he hears the prophet SallAllahu 'Alaihi Wasallam saying
that a man
from the people of paradise will ask
Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la to
cultivate the land so that he could grow crops himself.
Now, basically the prophet SallAllahu 'Alaihi Wasallam
is telling us
that this man that enters into Jannah
happens to love to farm.
And so he wants to farm in Jannah.
Now maybe that doesn't resonate with you at all
because you've never experienced what it's like to
grow something and you just wanna relax
in Jannah and eat whatever comes off the tree.
But some people love the experience of seeing something grow
of farming and eating from their own hands.
So Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la will ask him
"Didn't you already get everything that you wanted?
Everything you desired?"
And he'll say, "yes, oh, Allah.
But I like to grow things myself.
I want to cultivate the land and grow things myself."
And so Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la will say to him, "Fine."
And he will sow the seeds
and within seconds his plants will grow
and ripen and the yield will be harvested
and piled in heaps like mountains.
And Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la will say to him,
"Take, O son of Adam,
whatever you like, for nothing seems to satisfy you."
So the Bedouin that was there, he says Ya Rasulallah
"This person must be from Quraysh or they're probably
from the Ansar because they like to farm
and we could care less for farming."
And the prophet SallAllahu 'Alaihi Wasallam started to laugh
and 'Ikrima radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu he said
"That a man in paradise just thinks to himself, 'you know
if Allah gives me permission,
I would cultivate my own land.'
And all of a sudden he notices the angels
at his door saying, "As-salamu alayk,
Peace be unto to you.
Your Lord is saying that you had a desire
in your heart and he knew it.
So he sent us with the seeds."
And he'll tell the angels to sow them and they will do so
and they will grow crops like mountains instantly.
This is Jannah, what do you want from it?
Right? And SubhanAllah
this is something that, you know, really speaks
to the generosity of Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la,
that a person thinks of Jannah differently
and Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la rewards them accordingly.
Now, it may be something you desired
in this dunya that never happened.
So for example:
a woman might want to experience being pregnant
and having children, either because that was a joy for her
or maybe she never had that joy in this dunya.
Even though pregnancy is tough in this dunya
and it comes with a lot of pain
maybe a woman wants to experience that in Jannah again
or for the first time.
So in one narration,
the prophet SallAllahu 'Alaihi Wasallam says,
al-mu'minu idhash-tahal wa-lada fil-jannah
kana hamluhu wa-wadʿuhu wa-sinuhu
fi saʿatin kama yashtahi
That if the believer wants to have a child
in paradise, the pregnancy, the delivery
and the weening will all take place within an hour.
And an hour here doesn't mean 60 minutes
but a short time as they desire, a painless process.
Then the child will be the age that they please.
How is that possible?
How do you have kids in Jannah?
What does that look like?
What's the delivery like?
Again, that's not for you to worry about.
Jannah is for you from Allah who knows you best.
Now a question comes up, what about unnatural desires?
You see Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la
is speaking to the fitra
of people in the Qur'an,
and he's speaking to things that from
from a fitri perspective, from a natural perspective.
Most women, men, whatever it is
want these things that Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la
is saying to them.
But what if you have an unnatural desire?
Does Allah purify the desire
or does Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la perfect the reward?
See, here's the thing.
Just because you desire something now doesn't mean
that you will there.
And Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la is promising you
that you won't be displeased in Jannah.
Allah is the one who creates your desires.
Then Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la creates the rewards
that suit those desires.
And part of Tawakkul, or trusting
Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la
in this life, is what? It's knowing that Allah will give you
something better even if you can't see it.
And in Jannah, you trust that Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la
will give you
an unseen reward that is better than anything you
could have imagined, even if you can't perceive that now.
So even if you never heard a single description of Jannah
it would be enough to know
that Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la has
customized a Jannah for you that he knows will please you.
But Allah Subh'anahu Wa Ta-A'la still tells us
some of the specifics to appeal to us.
And even that alone is from his generosity and mercy.
Know that every du'a that you make here is only responded
to with better.
And every wish that you make there is only
responded to with better.
