Salams everyone,
So last Thursday I went to a Amr Khaled lecture and I jotted down some notes that I would like to share with you.
Al Jannah
Every word that is said in front of us has some sort of file stored in our brain. In those files are images of those words. It is important for us to remember that our real home is Al Jannah (heaven). This world that we live in is like a transitional flight that should inshAllah (God willing) lead us to Jannah. Close your eyes and let’s start creating an image of Al Jannah.
Imagine that elhamduAllah (Thanks be to Allah) we all passed the test and that we have all been accepted in to Jannah; we passed judgment and now we are on our way to Jannah. Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) will knock on the door of Jannah, and an angel will tell him that Allah instructed that angel not to open the door to anyone but the Prophet of Allah (PBUH). The door is now open, and there will be angels standing in rows waiting for us to enter. Imagine the All Mighty Allah calling us “Ahl Al Jannah” (People of Jannah)! Imagine seeing the Prophets, the companions, and all the great women that we hear stories about!
There are four important things to know about Jannah:
1. You won’t ever get sick
2. You will stay 33 forever
3. You’re eternal; you will never die
4. You will always be happy never sad, you won’t know what the meaning of sadness is
So now we just walked in to Jannah, and we are all amazed. People will be in awe saying things like; “SubhannAllah” and “Allahu Akbar.” Now imagine Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) showing you your home, telling you that you are his neighbor. You will get to see his palace and the Kowthar River.
You wanna know what your palace is going to be like??? Get this, your palace and the walls are going to be made of gold and silver bricks. The cement holding the bricks together is musk. There are going to be pearls growing in your own garden. You get your own river. And your ceiling is Allah’s (SWT) throne!
Does anyone besides me have goose bumps yet?
Al Jannah is a place where everything you wish for gets granted. In the market place there will be pictures of breathtaking places and if you and your spouse like one of the pictures and wish to go there, you are automatically taken to that place. Al Jannah is a place where all women and men are perfect. A place where everyone will be smiling and no person will talk about the other. Every week one will be more beautiful than the week before it.
It is also a place where you will never be bored; while in this world only few things make us happy in heaven there are millions. Among those things is seeing Allah (SWT). Nothing can compare to that feeling. You will get to see Allah (SWT) and talk him. HE will tell you that he is content with you, He will ask you if you are content with Al Jannah. He will also ask what you wish for and after you give Him your list of everything that you can think of and everything that you want, He will tell you wishes that haven’t even crossed your mind and grant you those wishes because you forgot to mention them. SubhannaAllah.
Now let’s get back to this world. Amr Khaled said that in this world you spend so much time working and saving up to buy a house that you can afford and with the house you get the key as a present. But in Jannah all you can afford is the key and you get a palace along with that key. Also, to get one meter in Jannah all you have to do is pray two raq3as, compare that to how much you have to pay to get a meter of a house in this world.
Let us use this world as a means to enter Jannah. Without losing foresight of the reason of our existence, let us make this world a better place. Let our good deeds in this world be the reason we enter Jannah.
I really want to go to Jannah… who is with me??? =)
