Hki Jannat
The Arabic word Jannah is a shortened version meaning simply "Garden". According to Islamic eschatology, after death, one will reside in the grave until the appointed resurrection on Yawm al-Qiyāmah. Muslims believe that the treatment of the individual in the life of the grave will be according to his or her deeds in the worldly life. Jannah is often compared to Christian concepts of Heaven. According to Muslim belief, everything one longs for in this world, will be there in Paradise.
The highest level of jannah is firdaws which is where the prophets , the martyrs and the most truthful and pious people will dwell. In contrast to Jannah towards Jahanam and Nar are used to refer to the concept of hell.
The descriptions of paradise are mentioned in significant detail in the Qur'an, Hadith and traditional afsīr (exegesis). Paradise is described as surrounded by eight principal gates, each level generally being divided into a hundred degrees. The highest level is known as firdaws (sometimes called Eden). It will be entered first by Muhammad, then those who lived in poverty, and then the most pious. Entrants will be greeted by angels with salutations of peace or As-Salamu Alaykum.[2]
Gardens of perpetual bliss: they shall enter there, as well as the righteous among their fathers, their spouses, and their offspring: and angels shall enter unto them from every gate (with the salutation):
"Peace unto you for that ye persevered in patience! Now how excellent is the final home!"
—Qur'an, Surah 13 (a-Raʾd), Ayat 23-24[3] By Hanan Ahmed

    To begin, when a writer refers to a garden, it most typically means to reference the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden is suggested throughout writings of all eras to be true paradise. Biblically, Adam and Eve used to reside in the Garden of Eden, and were told by the Lord that they could go wherever they liked and eat whatever they desired so long as they stayed away from the tree of knowledge. This tale ends in a snake, which is a symbol for the devil, convincing Eve to eat an apple from the tree, the apple representing sin. After eating the fruit, Eve suddenly knew what evil and sin were. After promptly convincing Adam to eat from the tree as well, God kicked Adam and Eve out of the garden.…

    In Zoroastrianism the afterlife is determined by the balance of good and evil, thoughts, deeds, and words throughout ones life. If the good outweighs the evil, heaven awaits. If the evil outweighs the good, you go to hell. Although there is also a middle for those whose good and evil were equal. In Islam, Muslims believe mankind will be judged on their good and bad deeds and consigned to Jannah (paradise) or Jahannam (hell), similarly to Zoroastrianism. In Christianity…

    Often times novels and movies are written and produced and most generally all include some type of symbolism. Types of symbolism can be shown through a physical item or even an idea. Symbolism can be used to shape one specific character or a society as a whole. In Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, symbolism is best shown through Mercerism, the almost Godly figure in this novel. Much like God, Wilbur Mercer created this religion and it is followed by a large number of people.…

    The Kingdom of God

    • 1351 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Pear gates, marble stairs and a throne of gold, or an inner area in the hidden depths of our own soul? Which can describe the true kingdom of God, a real physical world or a place that is only seen in ones hearts. Some would say it to be a place above man, built by God to be a home for peoples' souls after death. Others might say that it is no more than a place inside us that can only be reached through the right decisions and acts of kindness. A place that is not seen or discussed but only felt in a way that is incomparable to any feeling ever felt by the living. Yet while people retain their own images of the Kingdom of God the Bible itself gives a subtle definition through a series of parables or short stories, told by Jesus in order to pass along the message of who is God and what is the kingdom of heaven. <br><br>Jesus, through his sayings and parables showed that the kingdom was being revealed in his own life and work. He preached his message of the coming of the kingdom through memorable stories, which in his day could and did relate to things of everyday life. Though most of Jesus' followers didn't recognize the kingdom till after his death it was still brought to them by the Holy Spirit with a full understanding of his word and actions. Yet it was evidently difficult for them to understand before his death due to the previous ideas of the kingdom as a whole. Like many people of today those in Jesus' time viewed Gods' kingdom as a place above them yet unlike people today thought more literal terms actually believing that God was above them and was looking down on them. Even now, when in prayer, one may have a tendency to look up at the heaven in reverence since next to God it is the most endless, unexplainable thing in the world. Yet people are still able to know that as they look up they see God just the same as if they shut their eyes in prayer were to the people of Jesus' time God was seen as truly sitting above them in his kingdom in which only those…

    Whether it is a belief in Heaven, Paradise, Afterlife, Shangri-la, Nirvana, or the Great Pearly Gates in the sky, nearly every religion in the world teaches us there will be a realm of eternal delight for devout followers of their teachings as well as a place of shame and despair for those who commit evil. Islam is no exception. In fact over a quarter of the Qur’an’s verse’s relate directly to the next life. Heaven (Jannah) in Islam is a physical place where every wish is instantaneously fulfilled, all one has to do is ask. As for evil doers and malcontents, Islam provides another destination. Hell (Jahannam) in Islam is a place wherein evil doers hear on earth will wear clothing of burning pitch, eat barbed fruits and snakes and scorpions will be their constant companions. Interestingly hell is not as much for punishment as it is for purification and only because of the mercy of Allah, all Muslims are ordered released from hell in order to enter heaven, non-Muslims however seem destined to an eternal existence in hell.…

    ‘At the time of death, two of the best friends parted the soul from the body. Allah says that, definitely, Muslims will be raised up again after death. Then they will be gathered for the day of judgment. Allah has promised a second creation.’ (K. Ebrahim,1993). ‘Islam teaches the continued existence of the soul and a transformed physical existence after death.’ (Religion Facts, 2014). Taken from Masjid al-Muslimiin, ‘Muslims must believe, without any doubt, in the Day of Judgment and the physical resurrection when the body will be recreated and the soul will surely be reunited with the body by God’s unlimited power. Just as God, The Gatherer of Mankind, created us the first time, He is surely the resurrector who will bring us forth from death to stand in perfect judgment before Him.’…

    The afterlife, or life after death, was a rather common belief among people living in ancient civilizations. In areas such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Israel, people had differing perceptions of the afterlife; although, they shared much more similarities. While some civilizations generally held an optimistic view of the afterlife, others held a more dark and gloomy view of it. But from the mummification process down to the netherworlds, there is no doubt that the beliefs of these three ancient civilizations did in fact have huge influences on one another.…
