Jannah


Jannah (Arabic: جنّة‎‎ Jannah, Urdu: جنتJannat, Bengali: জান্নাত Jannat, Hindi: जन्नत Jannat) is the Islamic concept of paradise. The common interpretation is that it is an eternal place for the believers of tawhid, but according to Islamic Hadith scholars, it is the eternal place for all of mankind, with any sinners forgiven after a time in purgatory. This interpretation gave rise to one of the alternate names of Allah — "The Most Merciful". According to Islamic eschatology, after death, one's soul will reside in the grave until the appointed resurrection on Yawm al-Qiyāmah or Judgment Day. Muslims believe that the treatment of the individual in the life of the grave will be according to his or her deeds in the worldly life. Jannah is often compared to Christian concepts of Heaven. According to Muslim belief, everything one longs for in this world will be there in Paradise.

The highest level of Paradise is Firdaws (Arabic: فردوس), which is where the prophets, the martyrs, and the most truthful and pious people will dwell. In contrast to Jannah, the words Jahannam, Dozukh, and Nār are used to refer to the concept of hell. There are many words in the Arabic language for both Heaven and Hell and those words also appear in the Qur'an and Hadith. Most of them have become part of the Islamic traditions.
