Muhammad’s Paradise Qur’an 56:8 “Those of the right hand-how happy will be
those of the right hand! …Who will be honored in the Garden of Bliss;
Qur’an 56:13 “A multitude of those from among the first, and a few from the latter, (will be) on couch-like
thrones woven with gold and precious stones. Reclining, facing each other. Round about them will (serve) boys of perpetual
(freshness), of never ending bloom, with goblets, jugs, and cups (filled) with sparkling wine. No aching of the head will
they receive, nor suffer any madness, nor exhaustion. And with fruits, any that they may select: and the flesh of fowls, any
they may desire. And (there will be) Hur (fair females) with big eyes, lovely and pure, beautiful ones, like unto hidden pearls,
well-guarded in their shells. A reward for the deeds.” Qur’an 56:33 “Unending, and unforbidden,
exalted beds, and maidens incomparable. We have formed them in a distinctive fashion and made them virgins, loving companions
matched in age, for the sake of those of the right hand.” [Another translation reads:] “On couches or thrones
raised high. Verily, We have created them (maidens) incomparable: We have formed their maidens as a special creation, and
made them to grow a new growth. We made them virgins—pure and undefiled, lovers, matched in age.” Bukhari:V8B76N550 “I
heard Allah’s Apostle saying, ‘From my followers there will be a crowd of 70,000 in number who will enter Paradise
whose faces will glitter as the moon.’” Qur’an 37:40 “Fruits, Delights; they will be
honored in the Gardens of Pleasure, on thrones facing one another. Round them will be passed a cup of pure white wine, delicious
to the drinkers, free from ghoul (hurt), nor shall you be made mad or exhausted thereby. And with them will be Qasirat-at-Tarf
(virgin females), restraining their glances (desiring none but you), with big, beautiful eyes. As if they were (sheltered)
eggs, preserved.” Qur’an 88:8 “Faces will be joyful, glad with their endeavour. In a lofty
Garden they hear no harmful speech.”
Qur’an 88:12 “Therein will be a bubbling spring, raised throne-like couches, drinking cups ready placed,
cushions set in rows, and rich silken carpets all spread out.” Bukhari:V4B55N544 “Allah's Apostle
said, ‘The first group who will enter Paradise will be glittering like the moon and those who will follow will glitter
like the most brilliant star. They will not urinate, relieve nature, spit, or have any nasal secretions. Their combs will
be gold and their sweat will smell like musk. Their companions will be houris [virgins]. All of them will look alike and will
be sixty cubits (180 feet) tall.’” Bukhari:V8B76N542 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘The
believers, after being saved from the Fire, will be stopped at a bridge between Paradise and Hell and mutual retaliation will
be established among them regarding wrongs they have committed against one another. After they are cleansed and purified through
the retaliation, they will be admitted into Paradise.’” Qur’an 47:15 “(Here is) a Parable
of the Garden which those who fear and keep their duty are promised: in it are rivers of unpolluted water; rivers of milk
which the taste never changes; rivers of wine, a delicious joy to the drinkers; and rivers of running honey pure and clear.
In it there are all kinds of fruits with pardon from their Lord.” Qur’an 76:5 “As for the
righteous, they will drink a cup of wine from a spring, making it gush forth abundantly.” Qur’an 76:19 “And
round them shall serve immortal boys of perpetual freshness, never altering in age. If you saw them, you would think they
were scattered pearls.” Qur’an 76:21 “Upon them will be green garments of fine green silk and heavy gold
brocade. They will be adorned with bracelets of silver; their Lord will slack their thirst with wine.” Qur’an
77:41 “The righteous shall be amidst cool shades, springs, and fruits—all they desire. Eat and drink to your
heart’s content.” Qur’an 78:31 “Verily for those who follow Us, there will be a fulfillment
of your desires: enclosed Gardens, grapevines, voluptuous full-breasted maidens of equal age, and a cup full to the brim of
wine. There they never hear vain discourse nor lying—a gift in payment—a reward from your Lord.” Qur’an
83:22 “The believers will be in Delightful Bliss: On couch-like thrones, gazing, their thirst will be slaked with
pure wine.” Qur’an 85:11 “For those who believe and do good deeds will be Gardens; the fulfillment
of all desires.” Bukhari:V7B69N494 “I heard the Prophet saying, ‘From among my followers there
will be some who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use
of musical instruments, to be lawful. Allah will destroy them during the night and will let mountains fall on them. He will
transform the rest into monkeys and pigs and they will remain so till the Day of Doom.’” Bukhari:V4B54N476-544 “The
Prophet said, ‘In Paradise they will not urinate, relieve nature, spit, or have any nasal secretions. Everyone will
have two virgins who will be so beautiful and transparent the bones of their legs will be seen through their flesh.’” Qur’an
52:17 “Verily, the Muttaqun (those who fear) will be in Gardens and Delight. Enjoying the (bliss) which their Lord
has provided, and their Lord saved them from the torment of the blazing Fire. ‘Eat and drink with glee, because of what
you used to do.’ They will recline (with ease) on Throne Couches (of dignity) arranged in ranks; and We shall join them
to beautiful Hur (female maidens) with big, lustrous eyes.” Qur’an 52:21 “Those who believe
and whose families follow them in Faith, to them shall We join their offspring: Nor shall We deprive them of their works:
(Yet) each individual is in pledge for his deeds. [Imagine that. Wives and children will be joined with husbands and fathers
who are cavorting with virgins. That ought to be entertaining.] And We shall provide fruit and meat, anything they desire.
There they shall pass from hand to hand a (wine) cup free of frivolity, free of all taint of vanity or cause of sin. Round
about them will serve, (devoted) to them, young boy servants of their own (handsome) as well-guarded pearls. They will advance
to each other, drawing near, engaging in mutual enquiry. They will say: ‘We used to be afraid (of the punishment) in
the midst of our families, but Allah has been good to us, and has delivered us from the torment of the Scorching Wind and
Breath of Fire.” Qur’an 55:46 “For him who lives in terror of his Lord are two Gardens containing
delights: shade, two fountains flowing, fruits in pairs. Reclining on carpets lined with silk brocade, fruits hanging low.
In them virginal females with averted glances (desiring none but you), undeflowered by men or jinn. Is the reward of goodness
aught but goodness?” Qur’an 55:62 “And beside this, there are two other Gardens, rich green
in color from plentiful watering. In them will be two springs, gushing forth, and fruits. And beautiful companions, virgins
cloistered in pavilions, undefiled by men and jinn, reclining on green cushions and rich mattresses. Which of the favors of
you Lord will you both deny?”
