Fix Your Eyes Towards The Gardens

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

Fix your eyes towards the Gardens...

"...for him who fears the standing before his Lord, there will be two Gardens (i.e. in Paradise)...With spreading branches...In them (both) will be two springs flowing (free)...In them (both) will be every kind of fruit in pairs...Reclining upon the couches lined with silk brocade, and the fruits of the two Gardens will be near at hand...In them will be (Maidens), chaste, restraining their glances, whom no man or Jinn before them has touched...(In beauty) they are like rubies and coral...And besides these two, there are two other Gardens (i.e. in Paradise)...Dark green (in color)...In them (both) will be two springs gushing forth...In them (both) will be fruits, and date-palms and pomegranates...In them will be fair (companions), good, beautiful... Companions restrained (as to their glances), in (goodly) pavilions...Whom no man or Jinn before them has touched...Reclining on green cushions and rich carpets of beauty...Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny? (Qur'an Ar-Rahman 55)

Be mindful of how we spend our time. This life is but a bridge to our eternal abodes.

"Verily, for the Righteous, are Gardens of Delight, in the Presence of their Lord." (Qur'an Qalam 68:34)

"Verily, those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them will be Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise). That is the great success." (Qur'an Al-Burooj 85:11)

May Allah increase our Iman and grant us righteous deeds. Ameen. Please keep us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
wassalaam
