I wanted to start this thread for us to put information that will Insha' Allah make our hearts more keen to work in this life to reach Paradise after we die, insha' Allah. Also, to put information about Hellfire, so that we could become more scared each and every day and work hard to try and make sure we among the winners on the day of judgement, and not among the losers.
Here, I will first put some information about Paradise.
Insha' Allah everybody in Paradise will be very beautiful.
Everybody will be married, and there will be relations between the husband and wife.
People will eat and drink out of pleasure, as they will not feel hunger or thirst. When they eat and drink it will be out of pleasure.
When they see a bird flying above them and they feel to themselves they want to have this bird cooked in a special way before them so that they can eat it, it will come before them cooked in that special way, and they will eat from it and enjoy it. Then, from the bones, Allah will recreate a bird which will go up and fly above them.
There is no darkness, pain or sorrow in Paradise. There is no jealousy or suffering, no poverty, depression, angst or envy. There are beautiful emotions and beautiful pleasures. May Allah make our hearts strong in this life to achieve such pleasures. Ameen.
Now here is some information about hellfire, which I hope will make us more fearful of that place, and as a result we would insha' Allah do more good deeds in sincerity to try and help our situation.
In Hellfire, there is suffering and torture of an immense magnitude. Always remember, that all the suffering you might have felt in this life, emotional as well as physical, even after you put it all together is less than that of the pain in The Hereafter.
The least punishment, is for two hot coals to be placed under the feet of the person, and these coals will be so hot that the internal organs will melt as a result and this melted liquid will come through the nose. This is the least, my beloved brothers and sisters. Just think back to those times that you may have been burnt by the cooker, the lighter or hot coffee.. didn't the pain feel so difficult to bear? Well just try to think of something so many times worse, and protect yourselves and your families from this. Remind them to pray, to pay zakat, to fast. Remind them and yourselves to be sincere in your actions, and not to feel too happy when you hear somebody praising yourself, always remember that Allah is The Creator. He Creates us and what we do. Remind someone who is praising you to say masha' Allah and remind yourself to thank Allah each and every day for the blessings that you have. Say 'Al-Hamdulillah' each time you do something rewardable.
May Allah make us strong in our belief and our fear. May Allah Make us keen to work hard for the Hereafter. May Allah Make us less attracted to the pleasures of this life.
Ameen ya Allah.
