The famous hadith of Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud (r.a). Th last person to enter Jannah will be this man. At times he will be walking, at times he will be crawling and at times he will be limping all in attempt to get away from Jahannam. As he is walking, he will continuously look back at the fire of Jahannam and say All praise is to the one who has saved me from you meaning the fire. He says Allah has given him something that no other has received and this ni’mah is that he was the last person to be saved from Jahannam.

Allah will then raise a tree in front of this man. And so, this man will ask Allah to take him closer to the tree so that he may rest beneath its shade and drink some water. Allah then asks him Oh son of Adam if I do this will you not ask me for anything else. And he replies No by Allah I will not. So, Allah brings him closer to the tree and he then relaxes. Then Allah raises another tree, and the same thing happens he asks Allah to bring him closer to the tree so that he may rest beneath its shade. Allah then says but did you not promise me that you will not ask me for anything more? The man then says by Allah if Allah you do this for me, I promise not to ask for anything. So, Allah once again brings him closer to the tree and then finally Allah raises a third tree close to Jannah and yes once again the man sees the tree and asks Allah to be brought closer to the tree. As he nears the tree, he hears the people of Jannah, and he asks Allah to please enter him to Jannah. Allah then says you want to enter Jannah …Okay so be it I will give you a Jannh that is the size of this world and equal to is. The man then replies Ya Allah are you mocking and joking around with me -as he cannot believe Allah will grant him this. And Allah says I am able to do whatever I wish.

Allahs rahma overpowers everything and this story shows us how Allah wants us to come closer to Allah. All we have to do is constantly try.

The tree and fruit of Jannah.

In the quraan Allah gives us so much of detail about the trees of Jannah. In many other aspects however, Allah is very general. This alone shows us the importance of how Allah is highlighting that Jannah is the garden of paradise and its beauty is beyond out imagination.

Allah first explains to us that there will be many different types of gardens not just one but many. Allah further explains this and says there will be fruits, date palms and pomegranate trees.

Allah first mentions the fact that there are many gardens. He then goes into detail about these gardens. From there Allah then gives us detail on the types of trees found in the gardens. The tree is described as thornless. Trees such as pomegranate and banana etc. are all mentioned.

The beauty of it all is that in Jannah any fruit we desire at any moment will come to us without us having to even reach out. Unlike on earth where we have seasonal fruit and cannot get certain fruits whenever we choose.
