... the Gardens of Eternity, which they will enter along with the righteous amongst their parents, spouses, and descendants.

Before one can actually enter Paradise in the eternal realm found in the other world, they must first exert their best and most sincere efforts to attain it in this temporal domain.

The Pursuit Of Paradise

Whoever reads Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad (i.e. Surah al-Ikhlas) 20 times, Allah will build for them a castle in Paradise.

The presence of flowing or running water - like rivers and other bodies of water - has positive psychological effects, known as ‘The blue mind effect’.The Quran utilises this concept by frequently mentioning the gardens of paradise with rivers flowing beneath them.

The Healing Power of Water

Indeed even a single tasbih (litany of Allah's glorification) from any believer is better than everything that has been given to the son of Dawud. And let it be known that everything that has been given to the son of Dawud will perish, but this tasbih of yours will remain forever.

The word used to refer to fragrances is rayhan, which is often used to refer to herbal plants that exude sweet smells. Due to the pleasant odors that they exude, these plants are known for their incredible ability to relax the mind and inculcate a state of absolute tranquility.As such, believers will find themselves fully satisfied and free of all the worries and anxieties that are found in this world.

Calming Fragrances

A person can't satisfactorily celebrate a major event or achievement without the presence of their family. This ultimately means that being accompanied by one's family in Jannah is imperative. Without having one's family members in near proximity, a person will not be able to feel complete joy. This point is beautifully alluded to in the following verse of the Quran:

Family's Presence in Jannah

Allah created Jannat al- Adn with His Hand, putting one brick of white pearl, another one made of red rubies, and yet another consisting of green crystal. It's floor is made of musk, it's ground consists of pearls, and it's grasses are fashioned with saffron.

It will be said to the believers 'Enter Jannah in peace and security.

Muslims should follow the example of the Prophets Companions by avoiding gatherings where people are slandered. This will help to protect the natural purity of their souls, which naturally dislikes such negative behaviors.

The Importance of Refraining from Spiteful Speech

To be successful in the afterlife, a Muslim must constantly remember Allah in this temporal world.- Recite Alhamdulillah (all praise be to Allah) when experiencing a pleasant event.- Recite Astaghfirullah (I seek the forgiveness of Allah) if committing a sin.- Recite La ilaha illa Allah (there is no God but Allah) when uttering the declaration of faith at the point of death, for it will allow them to enter Paradise with ease.

Success In The Afterlife

Allah will say to the righteous 'O tranquil soul! Return to your Lord, well pleased and well pleasing. So, join My servants, and enter My Paradise.

There is not any one of you who lives in this life except that they have two positons: a home in the Hellfire and a home in Paradise.

Despite being mocked for their beliefs:<ul><li>They may forgo pleasures of this world for the sake of the afterlife</li><li>Despite facing criticism, their faith in Allah and pursuit of salvation remains strong</li><li>They will be handsomely rewarded in the other world for their sacrifices and unwavering faith</li></ul>

The Misunderstood Believer

Because they observed silence in these affairs and refrained from idle speech, Allah will reward them with eternal gardens in the Afterlife that will be free of any disturbances and commotions.

And whoever is saved from the selfishness of their own souls, it is they who are successful.

In the marketplace of Jannah, there will be an unlimited inventory, where it will possess every imaginable product. Likewise, no person will have a limited budget as they will be permitted to pick whatever they wish.Thus, in the perpetual abode of bliss, none of the believers will be subjected to the constraints that conventionally exist in the finite world.

Jannah Marketplace

The people of Paradise will have bracelets of gold and silver, garlands of pearls and Ruby, and the crowns of kings on their heads. Just one pearl from the dress of a woman of Paradise would light up everything between the East and the West.

To enter Paradise, every Muslim must obtain its key. In metaphysical terms, this key is the shahadah (testimony of faith) of "La Ilaha Illa Allah" (there is no God but Allah).However, simply saying the shahadah is not enough. The scholars emphasize that the key will only work if it has teeth, which refer to pious deeds.Therefore, the shape and effectiveness of our key is determined by our deeds and our position in the sight of Allah.

The Key to Paradise

"The hidden rivers- namely the ones that are exclusive to Paradise - are Sayhan and Jayhan, whilst the visible rivers are the Nile and the Euphrates."

Whatever our situation may be in this life, a life of struggle or comfort, our inevitable fate is the same as the life of this world is temporary.  O believer, this world is not meant to be your paradise, but knowing that Paradise awaits, makes this journey so much more bearable and rewarding. Remember that every difficulty is a right, after all your struggles, all your tests, and trials know that your eternal sanctuary awaits.  Jannah, that is built by your deeds and decorated by your du'as. Chalets of crystals sparkling on the horizon for a soul that gave up sin, tree trunks of green emerald and branches of gold for a simple word of remembrance. Each of your shuddering breaths, every second of discomfort you faced, and every one of your sacrifices, all have been accounted for, repaid with sights and rewards unimaginable and the company of the Most High.  Build your eternal home, decorate your eternal home. Long for your eternal home...
