Paradise (Al-Jannah)

 This is the name that is mostly frequently mentioned in the glorious Qur´an to indicate the abode of bliss in the Hereafter. In the Qur´an, it is sometimes mentioned in definite or indefinite forms; it is also mentioned in singular or plural forms. Examples of this abound in the Qur´an. Some of these can be observed in the following verses: ´´And We said: ´´O Adam! Dwell you and your wife in the Paradise and eat both of you freely with pleasure and delight, of things therein as wherever you will, but come not near this tree or you both will be of the Zaalimoon (wrong-doers).´´ (Al-Baqarah 2:35) ´´Or think you that will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? They were afflicted with servere poverty and aliments and were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who belived along with him said, ´´When (will come) the Help of Allah?´´ Yes! Certainly, the Help of Allah is near!´´ (Al-Baqarah 2:214) ´´And do not marry Al-Mushrikaat (idolatre...

Allah says:

 And march forth in the way (which leads to) forgiveness from your Lord, and for Paradise as wide as the heavens and the earth, prepared for the pious.´´ (Aal ´Imran 3:133) He also says: ´´Verily, Allah has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties for (the price) that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allah´s Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. It is a promise in truth which is binding on Him in the Tauraat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and the Qur´an. And who is truer to his convenant than Allah? Then rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That is the supreme sucess.´´ (At-Tawbah 9:111)

Surah Yunus 1

 I Allahs navn, Den Nådigste, Den Barmhjertigste. 1. Alif, Lam, Ra. Dette er Den visdomsfulde Bogs vers. 2. Er det underligt for folk, at Vi har sendt åbenbaringer til en mand fra deres midte. ´´Advar menneskene, og bebud det glædelige budskab til de troende, at der for dem hos deres Herre er en høj status!´´ De vantro siger: ´´Sandelig, dette er tydeligvis en magiker!´´ 3. Sandelig, jeres Herre er Allah; Ham, som skabte himlene og jorden på seks dage, og som derefter satte Sig på Tronen (istawa ´ala Al-´Arsh). Han tilrettelægger alle sager. Ingen kan gå i forbøn uden Hans tilladelse. Dette er Allah, jeres Herre, så tilbed Ham alene! Tænker I da ikke efter? 4. Det er til Ham, I alle skal vende tilbage - Allahs sande løfte! Sandelig, Han er den, som lader skabelsen opstå, derefter vil Han gentage den, for at Han kan give dem, som antog troen og handlede retskaffent, belønning med retfærdighed. Og de, som udviste vantro, dem venter der kogende vand som drikke og en smertefuld straf, ...

Surah Al-Tawbah 1

 1. (Dette er et løfte om) frit lejde fra Allah og Hans sendebud til af-gudsdyrkerne, som I har indgået en aftale med: 2. Drag så (sikkert) omkring i landet i fire måneder. Vid, at I aldrig kan undslippe Allah(s almagt). Og sandelig, Allah vil ydmyge de vantro. 3. Og (dette er) en erklæring fra Allah og Hans sendebud til menneskene på den store hajj-dag om, at Allah og Hans sendebud ikke har noget ansvar for afgudsdyrkerne. Hvis I vender om i anger, så er det bedre for her. Hvis I (igen) vender jer bort, så vid, at I på ingen måde kan undslippe Allah. Fortæl dem, som er vantro, om en smertefuld straf. 4. undtagen dem blandt afgudsdyrkerne, som I har indgået en traktat med, og som ikke har krænket den, og som ikke har hjulpet nogen imod jer. Så opfyld traktaten med dem, indtil den løber ud. Sandelig, Allah elsker de gudfrygtige. 5. Når de hellige måneder2 er til ende, så bekæmp afgudsdyrkerne, hvor I end finder dem, pågrib dem og tilfangetag dem, og læg jer i baghold mod dem ved enh...

Response to these arguments:

 If they meant that paradise has not yet been created at all and that it is absolutely inexistent in the present, then their claim is false; for facts from the Qur´an and the Sunnah repudiate it. Such a claim also contradicts what is known in religion by necessity. If they meant that Paradise had not been completely created then this is an incontestable truth. As for the proofs they mention, what those proofs indicate is that the land of Paradise has already been created and that is presently exists. As for remembrance of Allah mentioned in the Hadith, Allah will created a plant in the land of Paradise. The same applies for building of houses for those who perform the righteous deeds mentioned in the Hadiths. The more a servant performs righteous deeds, the more Allah expands for him his place in Paradise. (1) Qadi Mundhir ibn Sa´eed said: ´´the Paradise in which Adam lived was not the eternal Paradise. He supported this view with the following arguments: One: Had it been the everl...

Whoever prostrate himself for Allah, will have Jannah

 369. Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah sallahu alayhi wa sallam said, ´´When a son of Adam recites (the Verses of) prostration and prostrates himself, the devil withdraws weeping and says, ´Woe to him! (and in the narration of Abu Kuraib: Woe to me!). Son of Adam was commanded to prostrate, and he prostrates himself; so Jannah is for him. And I was commanded to prostrate (but) I refused (so) Hell is for me.´´

Salat-ul-Awwabin

 368. Al-Qasim Ash-Shaibani reported that Zaid bin Arqam saw some people praying the Duha (forenoon) prayer. He said: ´´They know that Salat (prayer) at pther time than this is better, for the Messenger of Allah sallahu alayhi wa sallam said: Salat-ul-Awwabin is performed when weaned camels feel the heat of the sun.´´
