In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious And The Most Merciful
So you made it through the gates of Jannah (Paradise). You went through, that you will know your place in Jannah is more than you knew your house in the Dunya (world). And you are passing by all of these wonderful scenes in Jannah, but your heart is attach to your house. You wanna go and see what Allah has reserved for you. So make it through the winding roads until you get to your property and you see this huge mansion, a brick of gold and brick of silver. You are getting closer and closer to your palace and then you see something that makes you freezes in your track. And you become immobile and you can't move any further because of the stunning beauty of what you have seen. And that is your wife in Jannah. Dear sisters first of all, let's get it straight that in Jannah you'll have no bad feelings. So there's not gonna be any jealousy, no pain, no suffering, no despair, nothing of this in Jannah. Allah S.W.T knows His creation. He knows what men want, He knows what women want and Allah will give everyone what will make them happy.
Allah S.W.T tells us that in Jannah, there are rivers of pure water, there are rivers of white and luscious honey, there are rivers of pure milk, and there are rivers of wine; wine that does not cause intoxication, wine that taste like wine, but doesn't have effect like wine. There will be no sweat, no bad smells, nobody has to take a bath, nobody gets older, nobody gets tired, there's no bad words, nobody has to work, there's no labor, nobody has to pay for anything. The greatest blessing of Jannah is the blessing of looking at the face of Allah S.W.T Himself. On that day, faces will be bright and shiny, shining bright! Why? Because they will be looking at Allah S.W.T. MasyaAllah. Subhanallah. Paradise means; everything in life that you ever imagined, that you ever wanted, you will have it there, but on the highest level. Everybody will live forever and the words will be "PEACE". If one day, we all in the Paradise together, i'll come over to your palace, and we party over there! Because what else could Paradise be? But the best of whatever it is people want in this life, that they can never have, that's what Paradise is. This world is nothing in comparison to the Akhirah (Hereafter). Except for dip your finger in an ocean, so let you see what clings to your finger. One dip! And that ocean is Paradise.
Brothers and sisters in Islam, i have question for you. What do you wish for? What do you desire? What do you anticipate to reach? Ask yourself that question. Do you wish for a beautiful wife? Or A gorgeous husband? Who has got popularity? who everyone looks up to? So that you can show off with him or her? Do you desire a beautiful mansion and lots of money? Is that what you desire? Or do you anticipate to reach a firm; life long career? Do you anticipate that? Do you yearn for luxurious dwelling; a land? Or probably one day to buy an island of your own? Do you long for fame, popularity and fortune? If this is what you are desiring and anticipating for and yearning for, then my dear brothers and sisters, you have been deceived by this world. All of its fortune, all of its beauty. Because this beauty which you see in front of you as Allah describes it in the Quran, is like a flower that grows in the ground. It get watered from the rain and then it blossoms, it has a nice fragrance and it looks beautiful, but then it only last for about a month or less, and it suddenly start to wither away and you have no more attention toward it. As if it never had existed before and it becomes soil and dirt.
Allah S.W.T says in the Quran "Know, Understand, Acknowledge". Know that this worldly life 'al hayat at dunya' (life of this world) is only playing, 'la'ib lahu' (entertaining yourselves), 'zina' decoration, challenging each other, who can have the big house, who can get the fastest car, who can look the most beautiful, who can have more money, and this is what the worldly life is about. Don't the non-believers do that? Trying to rise in the high levels in position in work, yes they do. And everyone tries to beat everyone else in becoming or reaching that high seat, yes it is a life of challenge. Challenging each other. And people love in this life to have lots of money, lots of children in order to have a strong back, it blossoms a little bit and then it fades away brothers and sisters. If this is what you are yearning for, longing for, missing for, being anxious about, i am sad to say that you are in a very great loss. Because when you die, and we all shall die, you just going to have to leave it all behind you. Subhanallah. Its not going to be buried with you. The only thing that you'll be taking is two things; your family and your action to the graveyard. But your family will go back, and your action will stay with you. SO WHAT DO YOU YEARN FOR AND DESIRE?
The path of Paradise, there are many obstacles person needs to overcome to eventually enter into Paradise. Paradise isn't something cheap.There has to be certain actions a person needs to overcome. What are the difficulties? Imam An Nawawi highlights inside the explanations Hadith inside Sahih Muslim, there are four elements a person needs to overcome the obstacles.

What are the difficulties? Imam An Nawawi highlights inside the explanations Hadith inside Sahih Muslim, there are four elements a person needs to overcome the obstacles.
- 'Al ijtihad fil ibaadah' - Person needs to become vigilant in Ibadah. The daily prayers, fasting, performance of Hajj. You need to overcome them. These are the hurdles that come continuously. Person need to focus upon them.
- To Be Able To Swallow Your Anger - Some of us maybe good Muslims, we pray punctually, we observe our five daily prayers, but some of the characteristics are missing from us.
- To Be Able To Forgive People : Some people can swallow their anger, but they are unable to forgive. Many of us have forgotten these characteristics as Muslims, that some of us would pray, even spend our wealth, but swallowing ones anger, pardoning people, over looking mistakes of people, these are some deep characteristics which will help the individual come closer and closer towards Paradise.
- To Be Able To Have Patience, To Stay Away From Temptation and Desires - Every time a person breaks their desires, breaks their temptation, stays away from them, that person becomes closer and closer towards Paradise.
