Paradise

Koran	Bible
Paradise Proclaim good tidings to those who have faith and do good works. They shall dwell in gardens watered by running streams. Whenever they are given fruit to eat, they will say, "This is what we used to eat before," for they shall be given the like, wedded to chaste spouses, they shall abide therein forever. Al-Baqarah The Cow 2:25	Resurrection But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection Luke 20:35-36 . NKJV
Reward of the righteous Say: Shall I tell you of better things than these, with which the righteous shall be rewarded by their Lord? Gardens watered by running streams, where they shall dwell for ever: spouses of perfect chastity: and grace from Allah. Al-I-Imran The Imrans 3:15	No marriage in the Resurrection Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven. Matt 22:29-30 NKJV
Reward - Paradise Obey Allah and the Apostle (Mohamed) that you may find mercy. Vie with each other to earn the forgiveness of your Lord and a Paradise as vast as heaven and earth, prepared for the righteous: those who give alms alike in prosperity and in adversity; who curb their anger and forgive their fellow men (Allah loves the charitable); who if they commit evil or wrong their souls, remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins (for who but Allah can forgive sins?) and do not knowingly persist in their misdeeds. These shall be rewarded with forgiveness from their Lord and with gardens watered by running streams, where they shall dwell for ever. Blessed is the reward of those who do good works. Al-I-Imran The Imrans 3:132-136	New Heaven and New Earth New Heaven, New Earth and New Jerusalem, the eternal home of the Saints of God. Revelation 21:1-27 "For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind. Isa 65:17 NKJV "For as the new heavens and the new earth Which I will make shall remain before Me," says the LORD, "So shall your descendants and your name remain. Isa 66:22 NKJV Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. 2 Peter 3:13 NKJV
Paradise As for those who fear their Lord, theirs shall be gardens watered by running streams in which they will abide for ever, and a goodly welcome from Allah. Allah's recompense is surely better for the righteous. Al-I-Imran The Imrans 3:198	Mercy But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting On those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children's children, To such as keep His covenant, And to those who remember His commandments to do them. Ps 103:17-18 NKJV
Paradise As for those that have faith and do good works, We shall admit them to gardens watered by running streams, where, wed to chaste spouses, they shall abide for ever. To a cool shade We shall admit them. An-Nisaa Women 4:57 Paradise As for those that have faith and do good works, We shall admit them to gardens watered by running streams, and there they shall abide for ever. Such is Allah's true promise: and who has a truer word than Allah? An-Nisaa Women 4:122 Paradise He that obeys Allah and the Apostle shall dwell with the prophets and the saints, the martyrs and the righteous men whom Allah has favored. Gracious companions will be those. An-Nisaa Women 4:69-70 True believers Allah has purchased from the faithful their lives and worldly goods, and in return has promised them the Garden. They will fight for the cause of Allah, they will slay and be slain. Such is the true promise which He has made them in the Torah, the Gospel, and the Koran. And who is more true to his pledge than Allah? Rejoice then in the bargain you have made. That is the supreme triumph. Those that repent and those that serve and praise Him; those that fast and those that kneel and prostrate themselves; those that enjoin justice, forbid evil, and observe the commandments of Allah shall be richly recompensed. Proclaim the good tidings to the faithful. At-Touba Repentance 9:111-112 Jews and Christians You will find that the most implacable of men in their enmity to the faithful are the Jews and the pagans, and that the nearest in affection to them are those who say: "We are Christians." When they listen to that which was revealed to the Apostle, you see their eyes fill with tears as they recognize the truth. They say: "Lord, we believe. Count us among the witnesses. Why should we not believe in Allah and in the truth that has come down to us? Why should we not hope our Lord will admit us among the righteous?" And for their words Allah has rewarded them with gardens watered by running streams, where they shall dwell forever. Such is the recompense of the righteous. But those that disbelieve and deny Our revelations shall become the inmates of Hell. The Table 5:82 page 88 Reward for those who fight The Apostle and the men who shared his faith fought with their goods and with their persons. These shall be rewarded with good things. These shall surely prosper. Allah has prepared for them gardens watered by running streams, in which they shall abide for ever. That is the supreme triumph. At-Touba Repentance 9:88-89	New Heaven and New Earth "For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; For behold, I create Jerusalem as a rejoicing, And her people a joy. I will rejoice in Jerusalem, And joy in My people; The voice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her, Nor the voice of crying. Isaiah 65:17-19 NKJV "For I know their works and their thoughts. It shall be that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come and see My glory. I will set a sign among them; and those among them who escape I will send to the nations: to Tarshish and Pul and Lud, who draw the bow, and Tubal and Javan, to the coastlands afar off who have not heard My fame nor seen My glory. And they shall declare My glory among the Gentiles. Then they shall bring all your brethren for an offering to the LORD out of all nations, on horses and in chariots and in litters, on mules and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem," says the LORD, "as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD. And I will also take some of them for priests and Levites," says the LORD. "For as the new heavens and the new earth Which I will make shall remain before Me," says the LORD, "So shall your descendants and your name remain. Isaiah 66:18-22 NKJV But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. 2 Peter 3:10-13 NKJV Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15 NKJV
Paradise As for those that believe and do good works, Allah will guide them through their faith. Rivers will run at their feet in the Gardens of Delight. Their prayer will be: "Glory be to You, Lord!" and their greeting: "Peace!" "Praise be to Allah, Lord of the universe" will be the burthen of their plea. Yunus Jonah 10:9-10 New Heaven and Earth On Judgment Day On the day when the earth is changed into a different earth and the heavens into new heavens, mankind shall stand before Allah, the One, who conquers all. On that day you will see the guilty bound with chains, their garments pitch, and their faces covered with flames. Allah will recompense each soul according to its deeds. Swift is Allah’s reckoning. This is a warning to mankind. Let them take heed and know that He is but one God. Let the wise bear this in mind. Abraham 14:43 page 183 Reward of the Righteous Truly none will take heed but the wise: ³ those who keep faith with Allah and do not break their pledge; ³ Who join together what Allah has bidden to be united; ³ Who fear their Lord and dread the terrors of an evil reckoning; ³ Who for the sake of Allah endure with fortitude. ³ Attend to their prayers; ³ Give alms in private and in public; ³ And who ward off evil with good. These shall have the recompense of Paradise. They shall enter the gardens of Eden, together with the righteous among their fathers, their spouses, and their descendants. From every gate the angels will come in to them, saying, "Peace be to you, for all that you have steadfastly endured. Blessed is the recompense of Paradise." Al-Ra’d Thunder 13:20-24 Paradise Such is the Paradise which the righteous have been promised: it is watered by running streams: eternal is its fruit, and eternal is its shade. Such shall be the end of the righteous. Al-Ra’d Thunder 13:35 Paradise But when the righteous are asked: “What has your Lord revealed?” they will reply: “That which is best.” Good is the reward of those that do good works in this present life: but far better is the abode of the life to come. Blessed is the abode of the righteous. They shall enter the gardens of Eden, where rivers will roll at their feet; and there shall they have all that they desire. Thus shall Allah recompense the righteous, whom the angels will reclaim, in all their virtue, saying: “Peace be on you. Come in to Paradise, the reward of your labors.” Al-Nahl The Bee 16:30-32 Paradise As for those who have faith and do good works, We shall not deny them their reward. They shall dwell in the gardens of Eden, where rivers will roll at their feet. Reclining there upon soft couches, they shall be decked with bracelets of gold, and arrayed in garments of fine green silk and rich brocade: blissful their reward and happy their resting place. Al-Kahf The Cave 18:30-31 Paradise As for those that have faith and do good works, they shall for ever dwell in the gardens of Paradise, desiring no change. Al-Kahf The Cave 18:107-108	Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful." Revelation 21:1-5 NKJV And He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." Revelation 21:6-8 NKJV Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, "Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife." And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. Revelation 21:9-12 NKJV But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Revelation 21:22-27 NKJV And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever. Revelation 22:1-5 NKJV
Hell and Paradise described in dialogue (Dialogue between inmates of Hell and the righteous in Paradise.) He will say: "Enter the Fire and join the communities of jinn and men that have gone before you." As it enters, every community will curse the one that went before it, and when all are gathered there, the last of them will say to the first: "These, Lord, have led us astray. Let their punishment be doubled in the Fire." He will answer: "All shall be doubly punished, although you may not know it." Then the first will say to the last: "You were no better than we. Taste the penalty of your misdeeds." For those that have denied and scorned Our revelations the gates of heaven shall not be opened; nor shall they enter Paradise until the camel shall pass through the eye of a needle. Thus shall We reward the guilty. Hell shall be their couch, and sheets of fire shall cover them. Thus shall We reward the evil doers. As for those that have faith and do good works - We never charge a soul with more than it can bear - they are the heirs of Paradise, and there they shall abide for ever. We shall take away all hatred from their hearts. Rivers will roll at their feet and they shall say: "Praise be to Allah who has guided us hither. Had He not given us guidance we would have strayed from the right path. Our Lord's apostles have surely preached the truth." And a voice will cry out to them, saying: "This is Paradise which you have earned with your labors." Then the heirs of Paradise will cry out to the inmates of the Fire: "What our Lord promised we have found to be true. Have you, too, found the promise of your Lord to be true?" "Yes," they will answer, and a herald will cry out among them: "Cursed are the evil doers who have debarred others from the path of Allah and sought to make it crooked, and who had no faith in the life to come." A barrier will divide them, and on the Heights there will be men who recognize each one by his look. To those in Paradise they shall say: "Peace be upon you!" But they shall not yet enter, though they long to be there. And when they turn their eyes towards the inmates of the Fire they will cry: "Lord, do not cast us among these wicked people!" Then, those on the Heights will say to men they recognize by their looks: "Nothing have your riches or your scornful pride availed you. Are these the men who you swore would never earn Allah's mercy?" [Again turning to the blessed they will say:] "Come in to Paradise. You have nothing to fear or to regret." The damned will cry out to the blessed: "Give us some water, or some of that which Allah has given you." But the blessed will reply: "Allah has forbidden both to the unbelievers, who made their religion a diversion and an idle sport, and who were seduced by their earthly life." On that day We will forget them as they forgot they would ever meet that day: for they denied Our revelations. The Heights 7:38-7:49 The Koran changes all the Bible stories they recite and they add stories not found in the Bible. They also change the revelations like Paradise, diet, rewards of saints and sinners, and many others far to numerous to list at this point.	Hell and Paradise described in dialogue "There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.' But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.' Then he said, 'I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house, for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.' Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.' And he said, 'No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' But he said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.' " Luke 16:19-31 NKJV For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV "Now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the judgments which I teach you to observe, that you may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers is giving you. You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take anything from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. Deuteronomy 4:1-3 NKJV "When the LORD your God cuts off from before you the nations which you go to dispossess, and you displace them and dwell in their land, take heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, 'How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise.' "You shall not worship the LORD your God in that way; for every abomination to the LORD which He hates they have done to their gods; for they burn even their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods. Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it. Deuteronomy 12:29-32 NKJV Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar. Proverbs 30:5-6 NKJV
True Believers and their rewards The true believers, both men and women, are friends to one another. They enjoin what is just and forbid what is evil; they attend to their prayers, and render the alms levy, and obey Allah and His apostle. On these Allah will have mercy. Allah is mighty and wise. Allah has promised the men and women who believe in Him gardens watered by running streams, in which they shall abide for ever: godly mansions in the gardens of Eden: and, what is more, they shall have grace in Allah's sight. That is the supreme triumph. At-Touba Repentance 9:71-72	Mansions "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. John 14:1-3 NKJV
Reward for Desert Arabs who fight Yet there are others among the desert Arabs who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and regard what they give as a means of bringing them closer to Allah and to the Apostle's prayers. Indeed, closer they shall be brought; Allah will admit them to His mercy. Allah is forgiving and merciful. As for those who led the way, the first of the muhajirin and the ansar, and those who nobly followed them, Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. He has prepared for them gardens watered by running streams, where they shall dwell for ever. That is the supreme triumph. Repentance 9:99-100	Desert Arabs are not mentioned in the Bible
Judgment Day The damned shall be cast into the fire, where, groaning and wailing, they shall abide as long as the heavens and the earth endure, unless your Lord ordain otherwise: your Lord shall accomplish what He will. As for the blessed, they shall abide in Paradise as long as the heavens and the earth endure, unless your Lord ordain otherwise. Theirs shall be an endless recompense. Hud 11:104 page 164 Paradise As for those that have faith and do good works, they shall for ever dwell in the gardens of Paradise, desiring no change. Al-Kahf The Cave 18:107-108	Judgment Seat of Christ "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: Matthew 25:31-34 NKJV "Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: Matthew 25:41 NKJV "And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." Matthew 25:46 NKJV
Creation of man Angels prostrate except Satan Satan becomes the tempter Hell and Paradise We created man from dry clay, from black molded loam, and before him Satan from smokeless fire. Your Lord said to the angels: “I am creating man from dry clay, from black molded loam. When I have fashioned him and breathed of My spirit into him, kneel down and prostrate yourselves before him.” The angels one and all, prostrated themselves, except Satan. He refused to prostrate himself as the others did. “Satan,” said Allah, “why do you not prostrate yourself?” He replied: “I will not bow to a mortal whom You created of dry clay, of black molded loam.” “Get you hence,” said Allah, “you are accursed. The curse shall be on you till Judgment Day.” “Lord,” said Satan, reprieve me till the Day of Resurrection.” He answered, “You are reprieved till the Appointed Day.” “Lord,” said Satan, “since You have thus seduced me, I will tempt mankind on earth: I will seduce them all, except those of them who are your faithful servants.” He replied, “This is My straight path. You shall have no power over My servants, only the sinners who follow you. They are all destined for Hell. It has seven gates, and through each gate they shall come in separate bands. But the righteous shall dwell among gardens and fountains; in peace and safety they shall enter them. We shall remove all hatred from their hearts, and they shall take their ease on couches face to face, a band of brothers. Toil shall not weary them, nor shall they ever be driven out.” Tell My servants that I alone am the Forgiving One, the Merciful; and that only My scourge is the woeful scourge. Al-Hijr 15:26-50	Creation of man The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. Genesis 2:7 NIV Angels bow to Jesus In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by His Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs. For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father"? Or again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son"? And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him." Hebrews 1:1-6 NIV No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 NIV Satan’s fall "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart:' I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.' Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, To the lowest depths of the Pit. Isaiah 14:12-15 NKJV
Paradise But those to whom We have long since shown Our favor shall be far removed from Hell. They shall not hear its roar, but shall delight for ever in what their souls desire. The supreme Terror shall not grieve them, and the angels will receive them, saying: “This is the day you have been promised.” On that day We shall roll up the heaven like a scroll of parchment. Just as We brought the First Creation into being, so will We restore it. This is a promise We shall assuredly fulfill. Al-Anbiyaa The Prophets 21:101-104 Paradise As for those that have faith and do good works, Allah will admit them to gardens watered by running streams. Allah’s will is ever done. Al-Hajj Pilgrimage 22:14 Paradise As for those that have faith and do good works, Allah will admit them to gardens watered by running streams. They shall be decked with bracelets of gold and of pearls, and arrayed in garments of silk. For they have been guided to the noblest of words; they have been guided to the path of the Glorious Lord. Al-Hajj Pilgrimage 22:23-24 Ritual of true believers Blessed are the believers, who are humble in their prayers; who avoid profane talk, and give alms to the destitute; who restrain their carnal desires (except with their wives and slave girls, for these are lawful to them: transgressors are those who lust after other than these); who are true to their trusts and promises, and diligent in their prayers. These are the heirs of Paradise; they shall abide in it for ever. Al-Muminun The Believers 23:1-11 Rewards Paradise or Hell Those whose good deeds weigh heavy in the scales shall triumph, but those whose deeds are light shall forfeit their souls and abide in Hell for ever. The fire will scorch their faces and they will writhe in anguish. Al-Muminun The Believers 23:102-104 Hell - Paradise Indeed, they deny the Hour of Doom. For those who deny that hour We have prepared a blazing fire. From far away they shall hear it raging and roaring. And when chained together, they are flung into some narrow space, they will fervently call for death. But they will be told: “Do not call today for one death; call for many deaths!” Say: “Which is better, this or the Paradise of Immortality which the righteous have been promised? It is their recompense and their retreat. Abiding there for ever, they shall find in it all that they desire. That is a promise which your Lord must needs fulfill. Al-Furqan 25:11-16 Paradise and true believers Those that embrace the true Faith and do good works We shall lodge for ever in the mansions of Paradise, where rivers will roll at their feet. Blessed id the reward of those who labor patiently and put their trust in their Lord. Al-Ankabut The Spider 29:58-59	Rewards for the Righteous P SINS AND LAWLESS ACTS WILL BE REMEMBERED NO MORE Who is a God like you, that pardons iniquity, and passes over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? God will not retain His anger forever, because He delights in mercy. He will again have compassion on us, and will subdue (cover) our iniquities. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. Micah 7:18-19 For by one offering Jesus has perfected forever those who are sanctified. The Holy Spirit also is a witness to us, as He said before, “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord, I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them. And, Their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more.” Hebrews 10:14-17 (see also Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Hebrews 8:7-12) No longer shall every man teach his neighbor or his brother saying, `Know the Lord,' because they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Jeremiah 31:34 P WE SHALL BE LIKE JESUS Beloved, we are now the children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He shall appear, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 1 John 3:2 P CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS From now on there is laid up for me a Crown of Righteousness which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give to me at that day: and not only to me, but also to all them that love his appearing 2 Timothy 4:8 P CROWN OF GLORY When the Chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive a crown of glory that does not fade away 1 Peter 5:4 P CROWN OF LIFE Fear none of the things that you shall suffer! Behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, to test you, and you shall have tribulation ten days. Be faithful to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life Revelation 2:10 Blessed is the man that endures temptation, for when he has stood the test, he shall receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. James 1:12 Behold, I am coming soon. Hold fast to what you have that no man may take your crown. Revelation 3:11 P INHERIT THE KINGDOM For this reason, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:28-29 Then the King shall say to those on His right hand, Come you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom that was prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Matthew 25:34
True Believers None believes in Our revelations save those who, when reminded of them, prostrate themselves in adoration and give glory to their Lord in fear and hope; who give in alms from what We gave them. No mortal knows what bliss will be in store for these as a reward for their labors. Can he, then, who is a true believer, be compared to him who is an evil doer? Surely they are not equal. Those that have faith and do good works shall be lodged in the gardens of Paradise in recompense for their labors. As-Sajda Adoration 32:15-19 Koran and the Scriptures What We have revealed to you in the Book is the truth confirming previous scriptures. Allah knows and observes His servants. We have bestowed the Book on those of Our servants whom We have chosen. Some sin against their souls, some follow a middle course, and some, by Allah’s leave, vie with each other in charitable works: this is the supreme virtue. Fatir The Creator 35:31-32 On That Day the heirs of Paradise will be busy with their joys. Together with spouses, they shall recline in shady groves upon soft couches. They shall have fruits therein, and all that they desire. Ya’ Sin 36:55-57 Paradise They shall inter the gardens of Eden, where they shall be decked with bracelets of gold and pearls, and arrayed in robes of silk. They will say: “Praise be to Allah who has taken away all sorrow from us. Our Lord is forgiving and bountiful in His rewards. Through His grace He has admitted us to the Eternal Mansion, where we shall endure no toil, no weariness.” Fatir The Creator 35:33-35	John, to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace and peace to you from Him who is, and was, and is to come; and from the Seven Spirits that are before His throne; and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first born from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us to be kings and priests to God His Father, to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Revelation 1:4-6 Now when He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty four elders fell down before the LAMB, each of them having a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying: "YOU ARE WORTHY TO TAKE THE BOOK, AND TO OPEN ITS SEALS, BECAUSE YOU WERE SLAIN AND BY YOUR BLOOD YOU HAVE REDEEMED US TO GOD OUT OF EVERY KINDRED AND TONGUE AND PEOPLE AND NATION, AND YOU HAVE MADE US KINGS AND PRIESTS TO OUR GOD; AND WE SHALL REIGN ON THE EARTH." Revelation 5:8-10 P AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS To him that overcomes and does my works to the end, I will give power over the nations. He shall rule them with a rod of iron and break them to pieces like pottery. Just as I have received authority from My Father, I will also give him the MORNING STAR. Revelation 2:26-28 P REST Seeing that it is a righteous thing with God to give tribulation to those who trouble you, and to give rest with us, to you who are troubled, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels. 2 Thessalonians 1:7
Paradise But the true servants of Allah shall be well provided for, feasting on fruit, and honored in the gardens of delight. Reclining face to face upon soft couches, they shall be served with a goblet filled at a gushing fountain, white, and delicious to those who drink it. It will neither dull their senses nor befuddle them. They shall sit with bashful, dark eyed virgins, as chaste as the sheltered eggs of ostriches. As-Saffat The Ranks 37:40-49 Paradise This is but an admonition. The righteous shall return to a blessed retreat: the gardens of Eden, whose gates shall open wide to receive them. Reclining there with bashful virgins for companions, they will call for abundant fruit and drink. All this shall be yours on the Day of Reckoning; Our gifts can have no end. Sad 38:49-54 Paradise But you, My servants, who have believed in Our revelations and submitted to Our will, shall on that day have nothing to fear or to regret. Enter Paradise, you and your spouses, in all delight. You shall be served with golden dishes and golden cups. Abiding there for ever, you shall find all that your souls desire and all that your eyes rejoice in. Such is the Paradise you shall inherit by virtue of your good deeds. Your sustenance shall be abundant fruit. Az-Zukhruf Ornaments of Gold 43:68-73 Paradise As for the righteous, they shall be lodged in peace together amid gardens and fountains, arrayed in rich silks and fine brocade. Even thus: and We shall wed them to dark-eyed houris (nymphs). Secure against all ills, they shall call for every kind of fruit; and having died once, they shall die no more. Your Lord will in His mercy shield them from the scourge of Hell. That will be the supreme triumph. Ad-Dukhan Smoke 44:51-57	P CROWN OF REJOICING, GLORY, AND JOY For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn't it you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming? For you are our glory and joy. 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20 P ABUNDANCE For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance. But from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. Matthew 25:29 P LIFE Truly indeed, I say to you, the hour is coming and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live. For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has given to the Son to have life in Himself; and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. Do not marvel at this, for the hour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice and come forth; they that have done good, to the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation (judgment and condemnation). John 5:25-29 P GLORY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST But we are always compelled to thank God for you, brothers who are loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God has chosen you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit, and through belief in the truth. He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14 P NEW HEARTS, NEW MINDS, AND CLEAN RECORDS For by one offering Jesus has perfected forever those who are sanctified. The Holy Spirit also is a witness to us, as He said before, this is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord, I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them. Their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more. Hebrews 10:14-17
Paradise But of all the creatures those that embrace the Faith (Islam) and do good works are the noblest. Their reward, in their Lord’s presence, shall be the gardens of Eden, gardens watered by running streams, where they shall dwell for ever. Allah is well pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. Thus shall those who fear Allah be rewarded. Al-Baiyina The Proof 98:7-8 Fighting for Allah Say to the desert Arabs who stayed behind: “You shall be called upon to fight a mighty nation, unless they embrace Islam. If you prove obedient, Allah will reward you well. But if you run away, as you have done before this, He will inflict on you a stern chastisement.” It shall be no offence for the blind, the lame, and the sick to stay behind. He that obeys Allah and His apostle shall be admitted to gardens watered by running streams; but he that turns and flees shall be sternly punished by Him. Al-Fat-h Victory 48:16-48:17 Paradise - two divisions You shall be divided into three multitudes: Those on the right shall be blessed; Those on the left shall be damned; and those to the fore shall be foremost. The foremost shall be brought near to their Lord in the gardens of delights: a whole multitude from the men of old, but only a few from the latter generations. They shall recline on jeweled couches face to face, and there shall wait on them immortal youths with bowls and ewers and a cup of purest wine (that will neither pain their heads nor take away their reason); with fruits of their own choice and flesh of fowls that they relish. And theirs shall be the dark eyed houris (nymphs), chaste as virgin pearls: a guerdon for their deeds. There they shall hear no idle talk, no sinful speech, but only the greeting, “Peace! Peace!” Those on the right hand – happy shall be those on the right hand! They shall recline on couches raised on high in the shade of thornless sidrs and clusters of talh; unforbidden, never ending. We created the houris (nymphs) and made them virgins, loving companions for those on the right hand: a multitude from the men of old, and a multitude from the latter generations. Al-Waqia That Which Is Coming 56:7-40	P CONFIDENCE Now little children, remain in Him, so when He appears we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. 1 John 2:28 P WE SHALL SEE GOD WITH OUR EYES I know that my redeemer lives, and in the last days He shall stand upon the earth. After my skin (this mortal body) is destroyed, still in my flesh I shall see God. I myself shall see God, and my own eyes shall behold Him, it will be myself who will see Him, and not someone else. How my heart yearns within me! Job 19:25-27 (also 1 Corinthians 13:12 below) P PERFECT KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING For now we see through a glass dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. 1 Corinthians 13:12 P RIGHT TO EAT FROM THE TREE OF LIFE To him that overcomes, I will grant the right to eat from the Tree of Life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. Revelation 2:7b P HIDDEN MANNA - WHITE STONE - NEW NAME To him that overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna for him to eat. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, which no one knows except the one that receives it. Revelation 2:17b P WALK WITH JESUS DRESSED IN WHITE AND ETERNAL SECURITY You have a few people in Sardis who have not defiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy. He that overcomes shall be clothed in white garments. I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life. But, I will acknowledge his name before my Father and His angels. Revelation 3:4-5 P DECEIVERS ACKNOWLEDGE GOD'S LOVE FOR US I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who lie by saying they are Jews, but they are not; indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. Revelation 3:9 P
Paradise - two divisions You shall be divided into three multitudes: Those on the right shall be blessed; Those on the left shall be damned; and those to the fore shall be foremost. The foremost shall be brought near to their Lord in the gardens of delights: a whole multitude from the men of old, but only a few from the latter generations. They shall recline on jeweled couches face to face, and there shall wait on them immortal youths with bowls and ewers and a cup of purest wine (that will neither pain their heads nor take away their reason); with fruits of their own choice and flesh of fowls that they relish. And theirs shall be the dark eyed houris (nymphs), chaste as virgin pearls: a guerdon for their deeds. There they shall hear no idle talk, no sinful speech, but only the greeting, “Peace! Peace!” Those on the right hand – happy shall be those on the right hand! They shall recline on couches raised on high in the shade of thornless sidrs and clusters of talh; unforbidden, never ending. We created the houris (nymphs) and made them virgins, loving companions for those on the right hand: a multitude from the men of old, and a multitude from the latter generations. Al-Waqia That Which Is Coming 56:7-40 Paradise The day will surely come when you shall see the true believers, men and women, with their light shining before them on their right hands, and a voice saying to them: “Rejoice this day. You shall enter gardens watered by running streams in which you shall abide for ever.” That is the supreme triumph. Al-Hadid Iron 57:12 Paradise He will forgive you your sins and admit you to gardens watered by running streams; He will lodge you in pleasant mansions in the gardens of Eden. That is the supreme triumph. And He will bestow upon you other blessings which you desire: help from Allah and a speedy victory. Proclaim the good tidings to the faithful. As-Saff Battle Array 61:12-13 Paradise Have fear of Allah, you that have sense and faith. Allah has sent down to you an exhortation; an apostle proclaiming to you Allah’s revelations in all plainness, so that he may lead the faithful who do good works from darkness to light. He that believes in Allah and does good works shall be admitted to gardens watered by running streams, where he shall dwell for ever. A rich provision Allah has made for him. At-Talaq Divorce 65:10-11	P KEPT FROM THE HOUR OF TRIAL Because you have obeyed My command to endure, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. Revelation 3:10 P MADE A PILLAR IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD I am coming soon. Hold fast to what you have, so no one will take your crown. Him who overcomes I will make a PILLAR IN THE TEMPLE OF MY GOD. He shall go out no more. Revelation 3:11-12a P A NEW NAME I will write on him THE NAME OF MY GOD, and THE NAME OF THE CITY OF MY GOD, THE NEW JERUSALEM, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; And I will write on him MY NEW NAME. Revelation 3:12b P SAVED FROM THE SECOND DEATH He that overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death. Revelation 2:11b P THE RIGHT TO SIT WITH JESUS ON HIS THRONE To him that overcomes, I will grant the right to sit with Me on My throne, the same as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. Revelation 3:21 P MERCY - PARDON - JOY - PEACE Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways, My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to heaven, but they water the earth, making it bring forth and bud so that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater. That is how My Word shall be that goes forth out of My mouth. It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish whatever I please, and it shall prosper in the thing to which I sent it. For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace. The mountains and the hills shall break forth into singing before you, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. The cypress tree shall come up instead of the thorn, and the myrtle tree shall come up instead of the briar. And it shall be for a name to the Lord, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off. Isaiah 55:6-13
Paradise Light Believers, turn to Allah in true repentance. Your Lord may forgive you your sins and admit you to gardens watered by running streams, on a day when the Prophet and those who believe with him will suffer no disgrace at the hands of Allah. Their light will shine in front of them and on their right, and they will say: “Lord, perfect our light for us and forgive us. You have power over all things.” At-Tahrim Prohibition 66:8 Fighting for Allah = Paradise We have given you a glorious victory, so the Allah may forgive you your past and future sins, and perfect His goodness to you; that He may guide you to a straight path and bestow on you His mighty help. It was He who sent down tranquility into the hearts of the faithful, so that their faith might grow stronger (Allah’s are the legions of the heavens and the earth: Allah is all knowing and wise); that He may bring the believers, both man and women, into gardens watered by running streams, there to abide for ever; that He may forgive them their sins (this, in Allah’s sight, is a glorious triumph); Al-Fat-h Victory 48:1-48:5 Paradise But the righteous shall drink of a cup tempered at the Camphor Fountain, a gushing spring at which the servants of Allah will refresh themselves: they who keep their vows and dread the broadcast terrors of Judgment day; who though they hold it dear, give sustenance to the destitute, the orphan the captive, saying: “We feed you for Allah’s sake only; we seek of you neither recompense nor thanks: for we fear from our Lord a day of anguish and woe.” Allah will deliver them from the evil of that day, and make their faces shine with joy. He will reward them for their steadfastness with Paradise and robes of silk. Reclining there upon soft couches, they shall feel neither the scorching heat nor the biting cold. Trees will spread their shade around them, and fruits will hang in clusters over them. They shall be served on silver dishes, and beakers as large as goblets; silver goblets which they themselves shall measure: and cups brim full with ginger flavored water from a fount called Salsabil. They shall be attended by boys graced with eternal youth, who to the beholder’s eyes will seem like sprinkled pearls. When you gaze upon that scene, you will behold a kingdom blissful and glorious. They shall be arrayed in garments of fine green silk and rich brocade, and adorned with bracelets of silver. Their Lord will give them pure nectar to drink. Thus shall you be rewarded; your high endeavors are gratifying to Allah. Al-Insan Man 76:5-22	P A PLACE - JOY - ACCEPTANCE - AN EVERLASTING NAME The Lord says, Keep justice, and do what is right, for My salvation is coming near, and My righteousness will soon be revealed. Blessed is the man that does this and the son of man that takes hold of it, who keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil. Do not let the son of the foreigner, who has joined himself to the Lord speak saying, The Lord has utterly separated me from His people. Do not let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. For this is what the Lord says to the eunuchs that keep My Sabbaths, and choose the things that please Me, and take hold of My covenant: I will give them a place and a name better than that of sons and of daughters in My house and within My walls. I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off. Also the sons of foreigners that join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants, everyone that keeps the Sabbath does not profane it, and takes hold of My covenant. I will bring them to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on My altar. For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all people. The Lord God that gathers the outcasts of Israel says, Yet I will gather others to Israel besides those that are already gathered to Him. Isaiah 56:1-8 P ACCEPTANCE You shall guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Psalm 73:24 P POSSESSION - INHERITANCE - PEACE and HEALING He that puts his trust in Me as his refuge shall possess the land, and shall inherit My holy mountain. It shall be said, Build up, build up, prepare the road! Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people. Thus says the High and Lofty One, He Who lives forever, Whose Name is Holy, I live in the high and a holy place with him who is of a repentant and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the repentant. I will not compete forever, nor will I always be angry, for then the spirit of man would grow faint and be consumed before Me, and the souls of men that I have created. I was enraged by the sin of his greed. I was angry and punished him. I hid myself in anger, and he went on rebelliously in the ways of his willful heart. I have seen his ways, but I will heal him. I will guide him and restore comfort to him and to those who mourn for him. I will create praise on the lips of men. Peace, to those far away and to those who are near, says the Lord, and I will heal them. Isaiah 57:13b-19
Paradise On that day woe betide the unbelievers! The righteous shall dwell amidst cool shades and fountains, and feed on such fruits as they desire. We shall say to them: “Eat and drink, and may every joy attend you! This is the guerdon of your labors.” Thus shall We recompense the righteous. Al-Mursalat Those That Are Sent 77:40-44 Paradise As for the righteous, They shall surely triumph. Theirs shall be gardens and vineyards, and high bosomed maidens for companions: A truly overflowing cup. There they shall hear no idle talk, nor any falsehood. Such is the recompense of your Lord. A gift that will suffice them: the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them; the Merciful, with whom no one can speak. An-Nabaa The Tidings 78:31-37 Paradise The righteous shall surely dwell in bliss. Reclining upon soft couches they will gaze around them: and in their faces you shall mark the glow of joy. They shall be given pure nectar to drink, securely sealed, whose very seals are musk. Let all men emulously strive for this. With it shall be given a mixture of Tasnim, a spring of the waters at which those nearest to Allah will refresh themselves. Al-Mutaffifeen The Unjust 9-83:22-28 Paradise On that day there shall be radiant faces, of men well pleased with their labors, in a lofty garden. There they shall hear no idle talk. A gushing fountain shall be there, and raised soft couches with goblets placed before them; silken cushions ranged in order and carpets richly spread. Al-Gashiya The Overwhelming Event 88:8-16 Paradise compared with Hell Such is Paradise which the righteous have been promised: Therein shall flow rivers of water undefiled, and rivers of milk for ever fresh; rivers of wine delectable to those what drink it, and rivers of clarified honey. There shall they eat of every fruit, and receive forgiveness from their Lord. Are they to be compared to those who shall abide in Hell forever, and drink scalding water which will tear their bowels? Muhammad 47:15 Paradise But the righteous shall dwell in fair gardens and in bliss, rejoicing in what their Lord will give them. Their Lord will shield them from the scourge of Hell. He will say: “Eat and drink to your hearts’ content. This is the reward of your labors.” They shall recline on couches arranged in rows. To dark eyed Houris (nymphs) We shall wed them. (We shall unite the true believers with those of their descendants who follow them in their faith, and shall not deny them the reward of their good works; each man is the hostage of his own deeds.) Fruits We shall give them, and such meats as they desire. They will pass from hand to hand a cup inspiring no idle talk, no sinful urge; and there shall wait on them young boys of their own, as fair as virgin pearls. They will converse with one another. “When we were living among our kinsfolk,” they will say, “we were troubled by many fears. But Allah has been gracious to us; He has preserved us from the fiery scourge, for we have prayed to Him. He is the Beneficent One, the Merciful.” At-Tur The Mountain 52:17-28	P GOD'S SPIRIT AND WORDS REMAIN FOREVER IN THE REDEEMED "The redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who turn from their transgressions," declares the Lord. "As for Me, this is My covenant with them," says the Lord. "My Spirit that is on you, and My Words that I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouths of your children, or out of the mouths of their descendants from this time on and forever," says the Lord. Isaiah 59:20-21 P SAINTS WILL JUDGE THE WORLD AND ANGELS Do any of you, having a matter against another, dare to go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things pertaining to this life? 1 Corinthians 6:1-3 P Glorified bodies of the SAINTS But someone will say, "How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?" Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain--perhaps wheat or some other grain. But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body. All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fish, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed-- in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory." P "O Death, where is your sting? P Hades, where is your victory?" The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Cor 15:35-58 NKJV
Fight for Allah When you meet the unbelievers in the battlefield strike off their heads and, when you have laid them low, bind your captives firmly. Then grant them their freedom or take a ransom for them, until war shall lay down her burdens. Thus shall you do. Had Allah willed, He could Himself have punished them; [but He has ordained it thus] that He might test you, the one by the other. As for those who are slain in the cause of Allah, He will not allow their works to perish. He will vouchsafe them guidance and ennoble their state; He will admit them to the Paradise He has made known to them. Believers, if you help Allah, Allah will help you and make you strong. But the unbelievers shall be consigned to perdition. He will bring their deeds to nothing. Because they have abhorred His revelations, He will frustrate their works. Have they never journeyed through the land and seen what was the end of those who have gone before them? Allah destroyed them utterly. A similar fate awaits the unbelievers, because Allah is the protector of the faithful: because the unbelievers have no protector. Allah will admit those who embrace the true Faith (Islam) and do good works to gardens watered by running streams. The unbelievers take their fill of pleasure and eat as cattle eat: but the Fire shall be their home. How many cities were mightier than your own city, which has cast you out! We destroyed them all, and there was none to help them. Can he who follows the guidance of his Lord be compared to him who is led by his desires and whose foul deeds seem fair to him? Muhammad 47:4-47:14 Paradise The righteous shall dwell in gardens watered by running brooks, honorably seated in the presence of a Mighty King. Al-Qamar The Moon 54:54-55	U UNIVERSAL PEACE (animals and man) The wolf shall dwell with the lamb. The leopard shall lie down with the young goat. The calf, the young lion, and the fatling shall lie down together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall feed together, their young ones shall lie down together. The lion shall eat straw like the ox. A nursing baby shall play over the hole of the asp, and an infant shall put his hand on the den of the cockatrice (adder). They shall not hurt or destroy in all My Holy Mountain (Kingdom), for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord like the waters cover the sea. Isaiah 11:6-9 Be glad and rejoice forever in the things I am creating, for I will create Jerusalem to be a cause for rejoicing and her people shall be a joy. I will rejoice over Jerusalem, and delight in My people. The sound of weeping and crying shall not be heard in her any more. From that time and on, there shall not be in it an infant that lives only a few days, nor an old man who has not lived his full life. Whoever dies at a hundred years shall be considered to have died in his childhood. But the sinner who dies a hundred years old shall be considered accursed. They shall build houses and live in them. They shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit from them. They shall not build and have another occupy it, they shall not plant and have another to eat the fruit. My people shall live lives as long as that of a tree, and My elect shall enjoy the work of their hands for a long time. They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth children destined to trouble, because they are the children of those who are the blessed of the Lord, they and their descendants after them. It shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. Dust shall be the food of the serpent. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My Holy Mountain (kingdom), says the Lord. Isaiah 65:18-25 He shall judge between the nations and shall settle disputes for many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not take up sword against nation, neither shall they train for war anymore. Isaiah 2:4 U EVERYONE WILL KNOW THE LORD But the Lord declared, This is the covenant that I shall make with the house of Israel, after those days I will put My law in their inmost being and write it in their hearts, I will be their God, and they shall be My people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor or his brother saying `Know the Lord,' because they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity and I will remember their sin no more. Jeremiah 31:33-34 FOR THE EARTH WILL BE FILLED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORY OF THE LORD, AS THE WATERS COVER THE SEA. Habakkuk 2:14 U RIGHTEOUS RULER He shall judge between many peoples and settle disputes for strong nations far away. They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not take up sword against nation, neither shall they train for war anymore. Micah 4:3 He shall judge between the nations and shall settle disputes for many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not take up sword against nation, neither shall they train for war anymore. O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord. Isaiah 2:4-5 A rod (shoot) shall come up out of the stump of Jesse, a branch shall grow out of his roots. The Spirit of the Lord shall rest on Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of strength, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. And the Spirit shall make Him quick of understanding and delight in the fear of the Lord. He will not judge by what His eyes see, nor will He condemn by what His ears hear. But He will judge the poor with righteousness, He will try the cause of the meek with justice. He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth. He will slay the wicked with the breath of His lips. Righteousness and faithfulness will be the belt around His waist. Isaiah 11:1-5 But the Lord of Hosts shall be exalted in judgment (justice), and God Who is holy, shall be sanctified in His righteousness. Isaiah 5:16
Paradise But for those that fear the majesty of their Lord there are two gardens, Which of Your Lord’s blessings would you deny? Planted with shady trees. Which of Your Lord’s blessings would you deny? Each is watered by a flowing spring. Which of Your Lord’s blessings would you deny? Each bears every kind of fruit in pairs. Which of Your Lord’s blessings would you deny? They shall recline on couches lined with thick brocade, and within reach will hang fruits of both gardens. Which of Your Lord’s blessings would you deny? Therein are bashful virgins whom neither man nor jinnee will have touched before. Which of Your Lord’s blessings would you deny? Virgins as fair as corals and rubies. Which of Your Lord’s blessings would you deny? Shall the reward of goodness be anything but good? Which of Your Lord’s blessings would you deny? And beside these there shall be two other gardens, Which of Your Lord’s blessings would you deny? Of darkest green. Which of Your Lord’s blessings would you deny? A gushing fountain shall flow in each. Which of Your Lord’s blessings would you deny? Each planted with fruit trees, the palm and the pomegranate. Which of Your Lord’s blessings would you deny? In each there shall be virgins chaste and fair. Which of Your Lord’s blessings would you deny? Dark eyed virgins, sheltered in their tents, Which of Your Lord’s blessings would you deny? Whom neither man nor jinnee will have touched before. Which of Your Lord’s blessings would you deny? They shall recline on green cushions and fine carpets. Which of Your Lord’s blessings would you deny? Blessed be the name of your Lord, the Lord of majesty and glory! Ar-Rahman The Merciful 55:46-78
