Basic HTML Version
The Arabic word "
dhil
" translated here as `shade,' in fact, refers to the expansiveness and vastness of the tree. It does
not necessarily mean shade in the ordinary sense, as there will be no sun or heat there. Here the expansiveness and
vastness of the trees of Jannah has been mentioned. Allah can do what He likes and create whatever He likes.

Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "
The dwellers of
Jannah will look at those in the upper abodes above them as you look at a shining star which remains in the eastern
or western horizon; such will be the difference in superiority which some of them have over others.''
The Messenger
of Allah (PBUH) was asked: "Will those be the dwellings of the Prophets which no one else will be able to reach?''
He (PBUH) replied,
"Yes, but by Him in Whose Hand my soul is! men who believed in Allah and acknowledged the
truthfulness of the Messengers will reach them.
''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
In Jannah, people will have different grades according to the strength of their Belief and love of
Allah. Some people will be on a position near that of the Prophets. May Allah grant us such lofty places. Amin.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
A space in
Jannah equal to the distance between the middle and the end of a bow will be better than all that upon which the sun
rises and sets
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
Just a very small -- a wee bit of a place in the Jannah is better than the whole world, as this world
would soon come to an end while Jannah will be eternal.

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
In Jannah there is a
market to which the people will come every Friday. The northern wind will blow and shower fragrance on their
faces and clothes and, consequently, it will enhance their beauty and loveliness. They will then return to their wives
who will also have increased in their beauty and loveliness, and their families will say to them: `We swear by Allah
that you have been increased in beauty and loveliness since leaving us.' Thereupon they will reply: `We swear by
Allah that you have also been increased in beauty and loveliness since we left you
.'''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
Bazaar refers to a place of gathering, where everything will be available, free of cost. Similarly,
Jumu`ah means that people will gather there for a time period equal to that of Jumu`ah, as there will be no sun, nor
night and day. Another speciality of Jannah is that the beauty and charm of men and women will go on increasing
and so the love and affection between husbands and wives will also keep on progressing and increasing. It will be
just the opposite of what happens here in this world.
