JANNAH (PARADISE)

Jannah is a very large and very beautiful place. It has been made by Allah Ta'ala for Muslims. It's walls have been made of bricks of gold and silver and its cement is made of musk. The ground is made of saffron and ambergris (a wax-like substance). Instead of gravel, there will be diamonds and pearls. There are huge mansions made of pearls, diamonds and beautiful jewellery to house the residents of Jannah. There are 100 ranks in Jannah. Each rank is as large in breadth as the sky to the ground. It's doors are so wide that a fast horse would have to run seventy years to get from one side to another. There will be so many gifts in Jannah that you would not dream or think about. There will be various types of fruits, milk, honey, wine (sweet smelling, non-alcoholic) and other delicious types of food for the Jannatis. Jannatis will be given clothes so beautiful that nobody in this world will have ever had fate to wear. For assistance, thousands of "Ghilmaan" or clean, pure servants will be available and for company, beautiful "Hoors" (princesses) whose beauty will be so intense that if one Hoor actually looked towards this world, the people would become unconscious just by looking at her beauty and shining. No one will feel sleepy or fall sick in Jannah. No one will be scared or taste death in Jannah. There would not be any sort of trouble, difficulty, hardships or suffering but all kinds of comfort in Jannah. Every wish, request and desire will be fulfilled in Jannah and the greatest Ne'mat (blessing) in Jannah is to make Didaar (see) of Allah Ta'ala.

JAHANNAM (HELL)

This place has been made for the Kaafirs (infidels), Munafiqs (hypocrites) and the sinful and wicked people to live. The Kaafirs will be imprisoned here forever. This is also a place where there is complete darkness and strong black fire, which has no shine to it. It's fire will continue to get hotter. The fire of Hell is so strong that if a pinpoint (equal to a tip of a needle) of it was thrown into this world every single person would die from its heat. If one of the guards of Hell came to this world, people would all die just by seeing his frightening face. No one would survive.

The Jahannamis will be given many different types of punishment. Big snakes and scorpions will bite them. People will have their heads crushed by big hammers. People will suffer from extreme hunger and thirst. They will be given a boiling hot oil type of water to drink and poisonous thorny fruits to eat. When they eat this fruit it will get stuck in the throat, and to wash it down they will ask for water and will be given boiling hot water. When drinking this water, all their insides will break and wash away. The thirst will be so extreme that when drinking this water the lips will crumble away.

The Kaafirs will become so helpless from this punishment that they will wish for death, but death will not come. They will ask for each other’s advice and go to the guard of Hell, Sayyiduna Malik. They will ask him to speak to Allah Ta’ala of their fate. Sayyiduna Malik will not reply to them for a thousand years. After a thousand years, he will reply, "What are you telling me for, tell Him Whom you have disobeyed". Then for a thousand years they will call Allah Ta'ala by His Merciful Names, and for a thousand years He will not reply. After a thousand years, Allah Ta’ala will reply, "Stay away, remain in Hell, do not talk to Me". At this time, the Kaafirs will become completely hopeless of any kind of mercy and will start screaming and crying like the sound of donkeys. First they will cry with tears. Then, when the tears finish, they will cry with tears of blood. There will be big gaping gaps in their cheeks due to the effects of their crying. The amount of water and pus from crying will be so much that if boats were put into them, they would start sailing. The face of Jahannamis will be so bad that if a Jahannami were brought into this world, all the people would die by looking at his face and from the foul stench.

Finally, for the Kaafirs, the situation will be such that for every infidel a coffin will be prepared for them to the length of their height, and then they will be put into this coffin. Then, it will be set on fire and it will be locked with a padlock of fire. It will be then be put inside a larger coffin also made of fire and the gap between will be set on fire. A padlock with chains made of fire will also be put around it. It will then be put into another coffin and then also set on fire and again will be locked with a lock of fire. All this will be then put into a bonfire. Then all the infidels will think that they will never be able to withstand any other heat and that this punishment is above all punishment. There will always be punishment for them and it will never end.

After all the Jannatis enter Jannah, only the Jahannamis will be left in Jahannam forever. At that time, death would be placed in between Jannah and Jahannam in the form of a ram. Then a voice will call out to the Jannatis. They would peep with fear thinking that they would be taken out of Jannah. Then, the voice will call out to the Jahannamis. They would be happy while peeping thinking that they would be taken out from Jahannam. Then the voice would ask them if they recognise it (the ram). All will say, "Yes, this is death." Then the ram will be slaughtered. The voice will say, "O Jannatis, you will live forever and will not die". Then it would say, "O Jahannamis, you will live forever and will not die". From this, the Jannatis will be ever happy and the Jahannamis will be very sad.
