Descriptions of Paradise in the Qur’an use terms that are familiar to us from the world we live in. Residences in Paradise are described, magnificent furniture and dazzlingly beautiful goods are mentioned. Besides these, descriptions are given of the jewellery and the garments worn in Paradise, and of the food and drink provided there. Great emphasis is placed on the surpassing beauty and incomparable magnificence of what the believers will enjoy. It is also declared that, in Paradise, man will be given anything that he may think of and beauties that he cannot even imagine. The biggest difference between the life of this world and the life of Paradise is undoubtedly the fact that none of the imperfection of this world exists in the Garden. Some of the delicacies and wonders of Paradise are mentioned as follows:
- A great and magnificent kingdom,
- Lofty chambers and residences,
- Raised couches,
- Finest garments made of silk and brocade,
- Bracelets made of gold and silver; jewels and pearls,
- Gardens with rivers flowing under them,
- Cool, refreshing shade,
- Platters and cups of gold,
- Couches lined with rich brocade,
- Green quilts and exquisite rugs,
- Rivers of milk whose taste will never change, rivers of honey of undiluted purity,
- Vessels of crystalline silver and many others…
Paradise is evidently a place of extraordinary perfection where man can find the greatest of pleasures. Allah relates in a verse of Qur’an the splendour of Paradise as follows:
What will life in Paradise be like?
