The Significant Rewards in the Hereafter

Presumably there emerge the questions of whether the Muslim believers would easily enter Paradise instead of Hell. The reality of Paradise and Hell are something people never be understand until they actually enter it, but Allah SWT shows us the glimpse in the Al-Qur'an. They are obviously stated that Paradise and Hell presently exist and external. In this usual column I would try to discuss a little bit of my knowledge of this controversial Paradise while the aspect of Hell I reserve my writing in my later column. Let us observe and refer to surah Al-Baqarah verses 26 and 27 mentioned below:

Surah Al-Baqarah verses 26 and 27: (The Cow)

Verse 26 - "Verily, Allah is not ashamed to set a parable even of a mosquito or so much more when it is bigger [or less when it is smaller] than it. And for those who believe, they know that it is the Truth from their Lord. but for those who believe they say: "What did Allah intend by this parable?" By it He mislead many, and many He guides thereby. And He misleads thereby only those who are Al-Fasiqun [The rebellious. disobedient to Allah."

Verse 27 - "Those who break Allah's Covenant after ratifying it, and server what Allah has ordered to be joined [as regards Allah's religion of Islamic Monotheism, and to practise its laws on the earth and also as regards keeping good relations with kith and kin], and do mischief on earth, it is they who are losers."

From the above two verses of surah Al-Baqarah, I would make a study the meaning the narrations written by the well-known Islamic Scholar Abdul al-Madudi which explains that it will be a pleasant surprise for the dwellers of the Paradise to have the fruits like the one which the were familiarize on the earth. Of course, they are more delicious. For instance, they would be lie mangoes, pomegranate, , oranges, etc., in the shape of calours and the dwellers of Paradise will once recognize Then in such but they will be infinitely are more delicious then the mangoes, pomegranate and oranges of the world. It is similar statement notably in the surah Al-Haqqah verse 24 prescribed: "Eat and drinks at ease for that you have sent forth [good deeds] in the days past."

From the aforementioned verse, such fruits were provided to us before on earth. In other aspect, Allah SWT has described it as a place of essentially different to the life in which people will enjoy them and every good things which will be theirs in Paradise to a degree that surpasses our ability to imagine. Allah SWT has prepared such blessing true as gifts and only, those will only offered only to the people with whom He is pleased.

In another second verse from surah Al-Baqarah verese 27 the same Scholar quoted the defination of words aswa [sig. zauj] as used for the husband and for the wife, the wife is zauj for the husband and the husband is zauj for the wife. In the Paradise the spouses will be joined of the basic of piety. For instance, if a certain man lived pious life in the world but the wife did not, the marriage will be dissolved in the Hereafter and the pious man will be united with another pious women whose marriage has similarity been disobeyed and so both husband and wife had pious lives here they would continuing to live as husband and wife for ever in the Paradise.

With another relevant surah Al-Kahf verse 31 stipulated: "There ! for them will be the 'Adn [Edan] Paradise [ Ever lasting Garden] wherein the rivers flows underneath them, therein they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and they wear green garments of fine thick silk. The will recline therein on raised throne. How good is the rewards and what an excellant, Murtafaq [dwelling and resting place]".

Finally, Muslim believers who did good deeds Allah SWT certainly will comply and offer heavenly rewards to those who did the righteous deeds in perfect manner. So Muslims should believe the significant of rewards as ordained by Allah SWT in the Hereafter.

Allah SWT is Al-Mighty and Most Merciful.
