Who are the servants of Paradise

What are the attributes of these servants?

How manu are they?

Introduction

The people of Paradise will move around in Paradise while servants go around them at their beck and call, in their beauty and splendour, as if they are snow-white pearls, yet to come out of their shells, untouched by sun or wind.

Allah says:

´´And there will go round boy-servants of theirs, to serve them as if they were preserved pearls.´´ (At-Toor: 24)

Allah also says:

´´And round about them will (serve) boyd of everlasting youth. If you see them, you would think scattered pearls.´´ (Al-Insaan: 19)

The phrase ´´(serve) boys´´ indicates that they are boys who will serve them. They are youths whose faces will be bright and due to the beauty of their colour, brightness of their faces and their numerousness, they will resemble scattered pealrs. They will not grow old, grow grey nor will they suffer any alteration in their situation.

The phrase ´everlasting youth´ means they will not grow old, change or die.

These servants will be created in Paradise as servants to its inhabitants.

Salvation

 None will be saved on the Day of Resurrection except he who used to worship alah alone with Whom there is no associate. As for the other gods, they will lead their adherents into the Fire.

Voluntary Fasting

 Fasting is one of the major acts of worship with which Allah redeems the fasting person from the Fire. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´Fasting is a shield against the Fire (of Hell) just like the shield one of you would use during fighting.´´80 The supererogatory fasting has its virtue. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´He who observes fast for a day in the path of Allah, He will remove his face from the Hell due to (the fast of) that day to the extent of seventy years.´ distance.´´81 The phrase ´in the path of Allah´ could either mean fasting a day sincerely, intending the pleasure of Allah; or fasting in the course of a military expedition in the path of Allah.

Backbiter and Tale-Bearer

 A backbiter is the individual who indugles in backiting which involves mentioning about your brother that which he would detest. The tale-bearer is the person who varries bad tale among the people in order to cause disaffection among them. These sins cause pervading tribulations, and enormous corruption also stems from them. Their perpetrators are among the worst of people and due to their capricious tongue, they speak as dictated by their whims and desires.  Their situation at the time of resurrection will be appalling as the Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam mentioned, Whoever eats the flesh of his brother in the world (i.e. bacjbites), he will be presented to him on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said to him, Eat his dead as you have eaten him alive. He would eat him and he would scowl and scream.
