Jannah is the paradise, following eternity where believers spend their time and find the reward of Allah (SWT) in the Islamic teaching. It is where the believers who had passed through their life with faith (iman) and with good deeds (amal salih) will be after death. Jannah is not only a world where there will be material satisfaction but a world where there will be spiritual satisfaction, comfort and closeness to Allah. The Qur an mentions it as an unimaginable reward full of good things and delight and one whose beauty no eye has seen and could never be appreciated by the heart.


The Arabic term-Jannah means garden and is a root word j- n-n which means something that is hidden or something coated. This can be taken figuratively since gardens are usually floral, secluded and serene. The Quran often refers to the gardens where rivers flow, it is the picture of beauty, prosperity and peacefulness. Such descriptions are not literal descriptions only, but they describe the peace, abundance and shelter one would experience in the afterlife should one have been able to gain the favor of Allah.


Islam has it that Jannah has levels or degree according to the circumstances where the person has made there will be reward and reward, depending on the sincerity and how they are close to Allah. The topmost is Jannat al- Firdaus that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) encouraged believers to request during prayer. Jannah also contains eight gates and each of the gates is connected with a specific virtue- prayer, charity, fasting and jihad. There are those who may be asked to come through any of the gates because the quality of their faith and character is excellent.


Juice of Jannah is mental as well as physical. According to the Quran there are rivers of milk, honey and non alcoholic wine, fruits of all varieties, fine clothing and beautiful brides. And the best is that the pleasure of Allah and the glance of His noble face. This spiritual recompense is superior to all other pleasures and it is an indicator of full reception and proximity to the Creator. No pain, sickness, hatred, jealousy and fear will exist in Jannah; there will only be peace and satisfaction.


Islam holds that right actions based on faith in Allah are the principal ways to Jannah. Their religion is embodied in activities like praying, fasting, zakat payment, Hajj and good mannerism; all these practices of worship are what will make a believer enter into Paradise. Nevertheless, we also know that no person can enter Jannah just because he does something righteous, but with the grace of Allah. That is why there should be a proportion between worship, righteous, humility and repentance by being sincere.


The faith in Jannah contributes significantly to helping Muslims live an honest life and remain unmoved by the life challenges. They persevere and become more patient because they know that their actions are not futile and that they just need to wait before they receive eternal peace. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to pray to Jannah consistently and he instructed his Muslim to also do the same. Living the Quest of Jannah turns into the leading idea in the everyday activity of a Muslim as well as in his or her relationships with others.


The dream and eventual destination of all the Muslims is Jannah. It is not simply the release of one onto the burdens of the world but also of achieving the dreams of the heart of love, peace and perpetual safety. The term means physical beauty in Islam in addition to extreme spiritual bliss in the company of Allah. This is the potent idea that adds to the lives of a believer, meaning, purpose and hope.
