the Momin. Then the Prophet (a.s.) added that under the rooms of the Momins
canals would be flowing and on their banks will be trees laden with fruits.
Whichever fruit they desire to eat, the branch of that fruit tree would come near
the Momin’s mouth. Every fruit would converse with the Momin with Allah’s
orders and would say,’ O pious person! Please do eat me!” Every Momin would
own several gardens where canals of milk, sweet water and beverages would be
flowing. Whatever he desired to eat would be instantly available to him. The
Momins would saunter around the Heaven together. They will meet and socialise
with one another. Everytime there will be a pleasant breeze blowing in the Heaven
as is seen at the times of dawn in the world. Every Momin will have seventy
Houris and four human wives.
• Then the Imam (a.s.) said that the Momin would sit in the Heaven with a bolster
behind his back. Suddenly he would notice a bright radiance. He will ask his
servants what the light was. They will say that it was a glimpse of the Houri that it
had peeped from the corner of the door to get a glimpse of yours. Seeing you, the
Houri smiled and the radiance was the reflection of its shining teeth. .The Momin
would then give permission for the Houri to enter his chambers..
• Hearing this, the servants would go running and convey the message to the Houri.
The Houri would then dress in raiment of jewels, wear perfumes of musk and
ambergris and come to the presence of the Momin. The Houri would be so
delicate that its slender limbs would be visible through its raiment of jewels. The
Momin’s servants would spray sacrificial shower of jewels in honor of the Houiri.
Then the Houri would go forward and embrace the Momin.
• Narrating this tradition, the Imam (a.s.) said, “ The heavens about which Allah has
mentioned are Jannat e Adan, Jannat al Firdous, Jannat an Nayeem and Jannat
al Maawa. In between these heavens, there will be several other heavens. The
Momin would rest in whichever heaven he wished to have a respite in. If he
desired for anything, he would say,’ Subhanaka allahumma ‘ Hearing this the
slaves would produce before him what he desired for.. Therefore Allah has said, “
Dawaahum feeha subhanaka allahumma wa tahiyatahum feeha salamun wa
aakhiru daawahum anil hamdu lillahi rabil aalameen- In the Heaven they would
say,’ O Allah! You are pure and flawless’ and their congregational prayer would
be for their collective peace. This prayer would end in praises for Allah who is
the Sustainer of the Worlds.” Sura Younus, Verse 10.
• Someone asked Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) the commentary of the verse,” Feehinna
khairatun hisaan.” The Imam (a.s.) replied that here are meant the pious Shia
women who will go to the Heaven and get married to the Momins. Then the
person asked, “ What is meant by,’ Hoorun maqsooraatun filqiyam/’ He replied, “
There will be delicate houris of fair complexion in the Heaven who will sit in
tents made of emerald and coral. Every tent will have four doors. Every door will

give company to the Momins.
• The Prophet of Allah (a.s.) has said that the trunk of every tree in the Heaven is
