7. Heaven: Gardens of Bliss

A Quatrain Poem🧵in 10 parts

You can’t imagine how fantastic Heaven is; ecstatic beauty Unseen
it’s like describing this World to an unborn baby who's never been
Jannah is a lush Garden retreat, where the pious will recognize their home
and live forever, able to enjoy an ideal life & blissfully roam
🧵1/10

The 1st to enter will be Muhammad (S), then the other Prophets after
then the righteous (the poor 1st) all glowing in joy & laughter
The pious who repented from Shirk & sin, believed & did good deeds
will be granted whatever they wish; truly fulfilled will be their needs
🧵2/10

Jannah has 100 levels, each one higher than gazing at stars in our Sky
Above 'Firdaws-Al-Ala' (the top level) is Allah’s Throne High
Angels guard Heaven’s 8 Gates: each 40 years to cross, being so vast
one is called ‘Ar-Rayyan’ which only admits pious ones who used to Fast
🧵3/10

Flowing from Firdaws-Al-Ala's Seas to lower levels; 4 Rivers run
unspoiling water & milk, honey & scented wine- all delicious fun
Tents- 60 miles high made of hollow pearls line the perfumed river banks
gold bricks & crystal make up houses; more glitzy the higher the ranks
🧵4/10

Solid gold tree trunks grow in musk soil, with perfect weather around
that provide clothing & shade, with fruits that will truly astound
People will have perfect bodies, 60 Cubits tall- like Adam used to be
more beautiful than Joseph and all aged like Jesus at thirty-three
🧵5/10

With kohl-lined eyes, all inhabitants will give out a radiant light
bejewelled, wearing green silk brocaded with gold: a dazzling sight
The 1st food in Heaven will be the roasted liver of a delicious fish
served by beautiful pearly youths, who bring any delicacies you wish
🧵6/10

Eating will be for pleasure & digestion: perfumed burps & sweat
never needing the toilet, or clearing their noses; no illness will they get
United with pious ones they loved; whether family or friend
with no ill-feelings between them, they’ll live in utter joy without end
🧵7/10

Recalling their former life, resting on comfy sofas under fruit trees
served with jewelled goblets of wine & platters of delicacies
In addition to wives, men will be married to at least two ‘Hoor-Al-Ain’
unmarried women will choose from single men & an eternal husband gain
🧵8/10

A zephyr will blow perfume over visitors to Heaven's Friday Market Place
going home each week, everyone will have a more beautiful face
If a couple want a child, it’ll be conceived, be born & grow on the spot
the least reward is 10x the Earth, worth competing for or what?
🧵9/10

Forever ecstatic, worship of Allah will be as easy as breathing
safe in Heaven, they’ll see evil ones punished in Hell; seething
Muslims in Hell will forget suffering when put in Heaven by Allah’s Grace
when they win the ultimate prize; looking directly upon Allah’s Face!
