Q & A

What happens when the mindful believers enter paradise according to the narration by Ali RadiAllahu Anhu?

When mindful believers enter paradise, they find a tree at the gate with two streams flowing from its roots. They drink from one stream to cleanse their inner filth, and from the other to wash their outer bodies. This purification gives them a radiance, and their skin and hair become perfect forever.

How does the greeting of 'Salaamun Alaikum' in paradise reflect on the peace believers will experience?

'Salaamun Alaikum' (Peace be upon you) signifies that believers will experience complete peace in paradise—safe from their environment, their sins, and the passage of time. They are assured eternal peace, unlike those in hellfire who face regret for ignoring warnings.

What is the significance of the gates in hellfire and paradise according to the script?

In hellfire, the gates close behind the people, sealing them in with increasing punishment. In contrast, the gates of paradise remain open, symbolizing freedom, peace, and safety, with no need for believers to be trapped or protected.

Why is a guide unnecessary for believers in paradise?

A guide is unnecessary in paradise because believers are already familiar with their homes, more so than they were with their homes in this world. Allah has made their homes known to them based on their deeds, so they naturally know their way.

What role do the angels play when believers enter paradise?

The angels guide believers to their properties in paradise, show them all that belongs to them, and make them feel welcomed. The angels also care for the believers until they reach their final dwelling, after which the angels depart.

What happens when the believer first enters paradise?

Upon entering paradise, the believer is dressed in the attire of paradise, adorned with jewelry, and greeted by servants. The overwhelming happiness they feel is eternal, and it is said to them that this joy will last forever.

What does the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam say about knowing one's home in paradise?

The Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam said that a believer will know their home in paradise better than they knew their home in this world. This knowledge is a result of Allah making their homes in paradise known to them.

How does Allah greet the people of paradise, and what does He promise them?

Allah greets the people of paradise by asking if they are pleased. When they express their contentment with everything they have, Allah promises them something even better: His eternal pleasure and the assurance that He will never be angry with them again.

What is special about the homes in paradise for those who were patient during severe trials?

The most special homes in paradise are for those who endured severe trials with patience, seeking only Allah's pleasure. These homes are given in response to sacrifices made in this world, such as Asiya's request for a palace in Jannah as she sacrificed her earthly comfort.

How do believers express their gratitude after entering their homes in paradise?

Believers express their gratitude by praising Allah, saying 'Alhamdulillahilladhi hadana lihadha, wama kunna linahtadiya lau la an hadaanallah'—meaning, 'All praises be to Allah, who guided us to this. We would not have attained this without His guidance.'
