We love the brothers of Hamdulillah. We will be describing just a few aspects of paradise, because we cannot do justice to Jannah in one little sitting, so panAllah. The brothers are smiling already, and inshallah we will be smiling even more when we enter paradise now.

0:59.8

I have before me 14 pages full of description of Jannah, and I think it will take us 14 days, a page each inshallah. So who is ready inshallah to come back every day?

1:14.8

Inshallah, sometimes when I was in Middle East, someone says inshallah that means, you know, it's okay carry on. I hope that's not the case.

1:23.8

Jannah, what I will do is we will go through a few aspects of paradise, some we may know, but just to refresh. All of it is taken from the Ahadith of Rasulullah, and the descriptions we cannot come up with it ourselves, it has to be revealed, because we don't know it is al-Rabiyat.

1:42.8

That which is the unseen, nobody can guess it or come up with it, it has to be revealed.

1:48.8

So anything to do with the world of the unseen, we believe what is revealed, as much as the revelation without addition or subtraction, and we stop there.

1:58.8

Where the details are given, we accept them, where they are not given, we do not need the Subhanallah. So remember this, this is the general rule and law when it comes to the unseen.

2:09.8

That it is impossible for anyone to tell you believing this, when they just making it up, say it needs to be something revealed.

2:18.8

With Jannah, the good thing is that the Ahadith describes, as Shaykh had mentioned just before me, the Ahadith describes how in it they will be let, which no eyes have ever seen, no ears have ever heard, and nobody has ever thought about.

2:38.8

It doesn't cross the heart or the mind of anyone, it is a beautiful, powerful statement which is repeated all the time.

2:50.8

And another thing, the Quran speaks about how everyone will have whatever they desire for.

2:58.8

It is about what you are designing for now, if you had it, how your life would have changed. I think a lot of us have a big pound sign in our heads.

3:08.8

But Jannah, you cannot use pounds or dollars, not a go. You have to make a payment here and now, work now, and you achieve your salary when the time is up.

3:19.8

Like how you work for the whole month, and at the end of the week, sometimes end of the week you get your salary, sometimes it is stated to your account, and you are so excited when you get that SMS to say, you know, 200 pounds.

3:31.8

Wow, excited, happy, how you work time, yeah. And they didn't know that I left work five minutes early the other day.

3:37.8

So we get so happy, we work for a week, we get 200 pounds, Allah says, we will pay you, we will give you work for your life, we set you for the akhirah.

3:47.8

What type of a payment you have, what you think for what you imagine, what you want, imagine if someone told you work for me for a week or for as long as paid maybe a year, five years after that, you say what you want, I give it to you.

4:01.8

It's impossible because man's wealth depletes, no matter how wealthy he is, boom gates, you notice the name has a gate on it, which means it stops some way.

4:12.8

He's wealthy, you know, just carry on.

4:14.8

I entered here, I told my cousin, you know, I don't intend to say things which make people laugh, but sometimes it comes out.

4:22.8

I don't intend it, but sometimes it's just me, I think I'm a normal human being like everyone else.
