No one will enter Paradise in whose heart is an atoms’ weight of arrogance. Tirmidhi


Whoever asks Allah for Jannah three times, Paradise says, “Oh Allah enter him into Jannah.” Whoever seeks protection with Allah from Hell three times, Jahannam says, “Oh Allah protect him from the Fire.” Tirmidhi


There is no Muslim who performs wudu and performs it well and then stands and offers 2 units of prayer with devotion of heart and mind in the two of them, except that Paradise becomes guaranteed for him. Muslim


Whoever goes to the mosque in the morning and evening, then Allah will prepare for him a place in Paradise for every morning and evening. Bukhari


The Prophet ﷺ  asked Bilal (RA), “Tell me of the best deed you did after embracing Islam, for I heard your footsteps in front of me in Paradise.” Bilal replied, “I did not do anything worth mentioning except that whenever I performed ablution during the day or night, I prayed after that ablution (Tayyatul Wudu) as much as was written for me.” Bukhari


I guarantee a house on the outskirts of Paradise, a house in the middle of Paradise, and a house in the highest part of Paradise for one who gives up arguing even if he is right, who gives up lying even while joking, and who makes his character excellent. Al-Mu’jam al-Kabīr


The people of Paradise will look at the dwellers of Al-Ghuruf (the lofty mansions i.e. a superior place in Paradise) in the same way as one looks at a brilliant star far away in the East or in the West on the horizon. That is because of their superiority over one another (in rewards).

On that the people said, “O Allah’s Messenger! Are these residences for the Prophets that nobody else can reach?” The Prophet ﷺ replied, “No! By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, these are for those who believed in Allah and also believed in the messengers.” Bukhari


Definitely, the inhabitants of Jannah will visit a market every Friday. A northerly wind will blow and it will spread [goodness] upon their faces and clothes, causing them to increase in beauty.

They will then return to their wives after having become more beautiful than they were before. Their wives will say to them, “We swear by Allah, you have definitely increased in beauty.” They will also say to their wives, “We swear by Allah, you have also increased in beauty.” Muslim


During the Night Journey of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, Jibril AS took him to Sidratul-Muntaha, the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary. Four rivers were emerging from the bottom of this tree. Two rivers were visible and two were invisible. 

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, “O Jibril! What are those four rivers?” Jibril said, “The invisible rivers are two rivers in Paradise; the visible rivers are the rivers of the Nile and Euphrates.” Bukhari


The Sayhan, Jayhan, Euphrates and Nile are all among the rivers of Paradise. Muslim


Verily, in Paradise there is a sea of water, a sea of honey, a sea of milk, and a sea of wine, and thereafter they branch into rivers. Tirmidhi


Kawthar is a river in Jannah, the two banks of which are made of gold and the bed of which is made of pearls and rubies. Its sand is more fragrant than musk, its water sweeter than honey and clearer than ice. Tirmidhi


If a woman from the women of Jannah were to appear in this world, that which is between (the heavens and the earth) would be filled with her (beautiful) fragrance. And they would illuminate that which is between the heavens and the earth. The scarf that is on her head is better than the world and that which is upon it! Tirmidhi


When the people of Paradise enter it, Allah Almighty will say: “Would you like anything more?” They will say: “Have You not brightened our faces? Have You not admitted us into Paradise and saved us from Hellfire?” 

Then, Allah will lift the veil and nothing they are given will be more beloved to them than looking at their Lord Almighty. Then, the Prophet ﷺ recited the verse, “For those who do good is more.” [10:26] Muslim


The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Do you overlook a crowd to see the full moon? Do you overlook a crowd to see the sun?” They said, “No.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Verily, you will see your Lord just as you see the full moon and you will not need to overlook a crowd to see him.” Tirmidhi


We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a full moon night. He looked at the moon and said, “You will certainly see your Lord as you see this moon, and there will be no trouble in seeing Him. So if you can avoid missing (through sleep, business, etc) a prayer before the rising of the sun (Fajr) and before its setting (Asr) you must do so.” He ﷺ then recited the following verse: “…and glorify the Praises of your Lord, before the rising of the sun and before (its) setting.” [50.39] Muslim


The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said about the people of Paradise: “They will never fall ill, blow their noses or spit.” Bukhari


When entering Jannah, a caller will say: “Indeed may you be healthy and never be sick again, may you live and never die again, may you be young and never grow feeble again, may you enjoy, and never feel sorrow and regret again.” Muslim

About Jannah: Bricks of gold and silver, and mortar of fragrant musk, pebbles of pearl and sapphire, and soil of saffron. Whoever enters it is filled with joy and will never feel miserable. He will live there forever and never die. Their clothes will never wear out and their youth will never fade. Tirmidhi


About Jannah: Never mind what God has told you, what He has not told you is even greater. Muslim


Verily, Allah will say to the people of Paradise: “O people of Paradise!” They will say: “We are at Your service, our Lord, all goodness is in Your hand!” Allah will say: “Are you satisfied?” They will say: “Why would we not be satisfied when You have given us what You have not given to any other creation?”

Allah will say: “Shall I not give you something better than all of that?” They will say: “O Lord, what could be better than that?” Allah will say: “I will grant you My pleasure, such that I will never be displeased with you ever again.” Bukhari HADITH QUDSI


Allah said: “I have prepared for My righteous servants what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no heart has perceived.” (Abu Harayrah: Thus recite if you wish [32:17]). Bukhari HADITH QUDSI


The gates of Paradise will be opened on Mondays and on Thursdays, and every servant [of Allah] who associates nothing with Allah will be forgiven, except for the man who has a grudge against his brother. [About them] it will be said: “Delay these two until they are reconciled; delay these two until they are reconciled.” Muslim HADITH QUDSI


We asked Abdullah (i.e. Ibn Masud) about this verse: “And do not regard those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead, rather are they alive with their Lord, being provided for [3:169].” He said: We asked about that and the Prophet ﷺ said: “Their souls are in the insides of green birds having lanterns suspended from the Throne, roaming freely in Paradise where they please, then taking shelter in those lanterns.

So their Lord cast a glance at them and said: “Do you wish for anything?” They said: “What shall we wish for when we roam freely in Paradise where we please?” And thus did He do to them three times.

When they saw that they would not be spared from being asked [again], they said: “O Lord, we would like for You to put back our souls into our bodies so that we might fight for Your sake once again.” And when He saw that they were not in need of anything they were let be.” Muslim HADITH QUDSI

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by me while I was planting a plant and said, “O Abu Hurayrah what are you planting?” I replied, “A plant for me.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Would you like me to tell of a plant better than this?” I said, “Of course, O Messenger of Allah.”

He ﷺ said, “Say: SubhanAllah, Wal hamdulillah, wa lailaha illallah, wa Allahu Akbar (Glory is to Allah, praise is to Allah, non has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest), for each one a tree will be planted for you in Paradise.” Ibn Majah


I met Nabi Ibrahim (AS) when I was taken on Mi’raj (ascension to the heavens) and he told me: “O Muhammad, convey my salam (greetings) to your Ummah and tell them that Jannah has good soil and sweet water, but it is barren. The plantation of Jannah is (the recital of) Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illallah and Allahu Akbar.” Tirmidhi


Whoever performs Wudhu and does it properly, then lifts his gaze to the sky and says, “Ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah, wahdahu la shareeka lah, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan ‘abdahu wa rasuluhu,” the eight gates of Paradise will be opened to him, and he will enter it through whichever one he wishes. Muslim


One morning, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ‎ said, Last night, two persons came to me (in a dream) and woke me up and said to me, “Proceed!” I set out with them. He ﷺ‎ mentioned things and places that he had seen, and then said, We proceeded and we reached a garden of deep green dense vegetation, having all sorts of spring colours. In the midst of the garden there was a very tall man and I could hardly see his head because of his great height, and around him there were children in such a large number as I have never seen.

I said to my companions, “Who is this?” They replied “Proceed! Proceed!” Then among the things that the two companions (angels) said to him ﷺ‎ was: “The tall man whom you saw in the garden is Ibrahim (AS) and the children around him are those children who die with Al-Fitrah” (the Islamic Faith). Bukhari


When a person’s child passes away, Allah says to the Angels, “Have you removed the soul of my servant’s child?” When the Angels reply in the affirmative, Allah then asks, “Have you’ll taken away the soul of the joy of his heart?” The Angels again reply in the affirmative.

Allah then asks, “What did my servant have to say?” The Angels reply, “He praised you and recited Inna Lillahi Wa inna Ilayhi Raji’un.” Allah then says, “Build for my servant a house in Jannah and call it ‘Baytul Hamd.” Tirmidhi


The only reward that I will grant my servant when he anticipates reward after his beloved [child/brother and all those people that are beloved to him] passes away is Jannah. Bukhari HADITH QUDSI

They would be inspired to glorify and praise Allah as easily as you breathe.” Bukhari


A person would be along with one whom he loves. Muslim


If a woman of the people of Paradise were to look upon the people of earth, the space between them would be illuminated and filled with fragrance, and the cloth on her head is better than this world and everything in it. Bukhari


Paradise is 100 levels; between each level and the next is the distance of 100 years and the Firdaus is the highest of them in degree, and from it the four rivers (of Paradise) emerge. And the throne is above it. So when you ask Allah, ask Him for al-Firdaus. Tirmidhi


It will be said to the companion of the Quran after he has entered Paradise, “Recite, and rise!” For every verse he recites he will rise one level (in Paradise), until he recites the last verse with him (in his memory). Abu Dawud
