Where is muslim heaven

The level is promised to those who follow their path with the utmost devotion without transgressing from their path. This level of heaven compensates for the loss and hardship that one faces in the journey and brings the voyage to halt.

It is a level of intrinsic nature. It is where the soul finds an eternal place to stay. Surah al Fatir mentions this stage of heaven as a safe place where all sufferings and tiredness vanish. It is where nothing affects the soul. It is the abode of well-being. This is the seventh level of heaven, which is the home of safety and peace.

Many scholars believe that there is the eighth level of heaven, called Illiyyun. It is an abode of the Hafaza angels, who protect the souls. This is where people get the fruit for their righteous deeds. A few scholars even believe that there are a hundred levels of heaven in Islam. Each level refers to a different grade. Another interpretation of hundred levels refers to the plurality of Jannah where believers fall according to their good deeds and sins.

It is believed that the distance between two levels increases with flight. It is believed that if a devotee follows every word of the Quran and does good in their life, they go to heaven. The count of righteousness defines the level of heaven. The first Heaven is made of silver and is where Adam and Eve live. Abraham lives in the seventh Heaven in a place made of divine light. Hell is described as a place of fire and torment.

Jahannam is a place of scorching fire pits and boiling water, a place of physical and spiritual suffering. Some Muslims believe that even the souls in Hell can eventually be sent to Paradise. This pair of verses highlights what the conversation in Heaven will be like—peace. For a believer who worked in this life to please Allah, there is no greater comfort and pleasure than hearing a greeting of peace from his Lord in the ultimate abode of Heaven.

They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and will wear green garments of fine silk and brocade, reclining therein on adorned couches.

Excellent is the reward, and good is the resting place. In the above verse, we get a tangible and detailed description of what the inhabitants of Paradise will be adorned with—gold and silk. They will be in the most comfortable and luxurious of spaces for all of eternity.

Those will have a provision determined—fruits; and they will be honored in gardens of pleasure on thrones facing one another. There will be circulated among them a cup from a flowing spring, white and delicious to the drinkers; no bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated.

Another pleasure of Heaven is that of its fruits and drink. Whenever I cut different types of fruit, I am always reminded of Allah and His greatness—there is such an intricacy and uniqueness in each fruit. Bananas, oranges, pomegranates, kiwis, grapes…and that is only what we have been exposed to living in the United States!

We have not even heard or dreamt of what is available in other parts of the world, let alone Paradise. What about the virgins? For believing males, that includes not just luxurious feasting and rest. The hadith were in full agreement too, eagerly elaborating on the details: none questioned that heavenly sex was promised. To monogamists and most feminists today, that suggests debauchery. It also limited the number of wives a man could simultaneously have to just four. Nor did it limit the number of concubines or slave girls a man could have sex with.

What about the reward of female believers in paradise? The view of heaven presented above is that of traditional Islam, both Sunni and Shia. Interpreting these terms in the light of the hadith, most Muslims view them as referring to distinct heavenly locations.
