In The Name of Allah-SWT the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
SECRETS OF REVELATION:

For a person fearing to face his Rabb-SWT for accountability and with this in view abstains from His-SWT disobedience, is the reward of two Gardens. This fear of accountability is typical of Allah-SWT's chosen bondmen and because of it they constantly remain aware of the Day. This awareness enables them to obey and follow the dictates of their Rabb-SWT with deep devotion and sincerity. Both the Gardens mentioned above are lush green, shady and blooming. So which of His-SWT favours will then be denied? These gardens will have springs gushing forth. According to Hadith a dweller of Jannah will be empowered to order these springs to change course according to his wishes. So which of His-SWT favours will the mankind and the Jinn deny?

 

These Gardens will have a variety of fruits, each type excelling one another in taste. These fortunate believers shall recline on couches, with exquisite upholstery; the linings made of the finest silk. The branches of trees laden with fruits would hang low over them. Which of the bounties of your Rabb-SWT will you then deny? The beauty queens, who keep their gazes low, created exclusively for them untouched by man or jinn will be rewarded to the residents of Jannah in wedlock.

 

Jinn and Jannah


Those who concede the admission of Jinn into Jannah take authority from this Ayah. However, this is not the case. The scholars who disagree assert that the expression is figurative, since some women in this world are at times possessed by the Jinn. In Jannah there is no such possibility. And as for their admission into Jannah, Quran has forewarned the Jinn of chastisement as a sequel to denial but it has not mentioned admission into Jannah as promised to the believing mankind. Rather the Quran declares that as a reward for their faith the Jinn will be spared the tormenting doom and will pass into extinction, except those condemned into Hell, who will perish after completing their term of punishment. Allaah-SWT Knows best! So which of His-SWT blessings will the twain deny? The damsels married to the residents of Jannah will please them with their impeccable charm as if they were precious gems, rubies and corals. What else can the reward for sincere obedience be, other than His-SWT Kindness and Munificence?

 

And the general lot of believers will also be awarded two Gardens each. Remember that the Aulia' constantly remain in a state of consciousness of standing before Allaah-SWT . That is why they are called Sahib-e-Hal (bearers of spiritual states). The common believers are not as constant in their intrinsic feelings. Some times they are overwhelmed with Allah-SWT ’s awe while at others they are seized by negligence liable to err; though negligence is an error by itself. They too will be awarded two Gardens though lesser in class than those of the chosen bondmen. But still this will be Jannah in its own merit. These Gardens will appear dark green and flourishing. Two fountains will be flowing through each Abundance of fruits will be the hallmark, including dates and pomegranates. How long then will you twain deny the bounties of your Rabb-SWT ?

 

In all these Gardens, there will be beautiful and modest partners. They will be chaste and immaculate in character and kept safely guarded inside pavilions, un­touched by man or Jinn. The dweller of this Jannah will also be reclining on couches with green covers, resting on cushions, with their abodes adorned with fine precious rugs. Then O' mankind and Jinn! Which of His-SWT blessing will you not acknowledge? And O' Prophet-SW, the Name of your Rabb-SWT is indeed Glorious and immensely Auspicious. It is He-SWT Who-SWT is the Most Magnificent, Majestic and Munificent. He-SWT will increase these bounties both in quality and quantity commensurate to His-SWT Grace and there will never be a decrease in dispensation.
