Heaven will be provided with seventy servants. Ninetytwo stages of the elevated
stages of the Heaven would be earmarked for him.
• The women of the Heaven will remain virgin even after copulation because they
will be the creation of pure and clean soil. They will have no marks and
deformities and nothing would have entered their private parts. They will be free
of menstrual discharges. Their hymen would be intact even after copulation.
• In another tradition the Prophet (a.s.) has said, “ The four walls of the Heaven
have been erected with bricks made of gold and silver. In place of concrete, a
mixture of musk, ambergris and rose water would be used. Its ramparts would be
made of emeralds red and green. . It has many doors. Baab ar Rehmat is made of
red emeralds. Baab as Sabr is a small door made of emeralds and will have no
door-chain. Baab as Shukr is made of white emeralds and its two shutters have a
distance equivalent to the distance traversed in five hundred years. A sound
emanates from this door saying,’ O Allah! Guide towards me those who are
deserving!’ Baab al Bala is made of yellow emerald. The people who enter
through this door will be those who suffered from sicknesses in the world and did
not squander their reward by complaining about their condition. There is another
big door to the Heaven through which such persons will enter who have
abandoned the world to save themselves from evil deeds.. The Prophet (a.s.) was
asked, “ What will the inmates of the Heaven do when they reach there?” The
Prophet (a.s.) said, “ They will board the boats and go sight seeing in the waters
of the canals. The boats will be made of emeralds. The oars will be made of pearls
and the angels would be the sailors. The name of the canal is Jannat al Maawa.
Then the Imam (a.s.) said,” Inside the heaven there will be another heaven, the
name of which is Eden. Its walls are made of red rubies and the flooring of pearls.
Then there will be another heaven by name of Jannat al Firdous. Its walls and
doors are made up of light.
• The Prophet of Islam (a.s.) has said, “ In the Heaven, the inmates will not need to
attend the nature’s call. It will, in fact, be converted into a fragrant liquid.
• The Prophet (a.s.) said, “ O Abu Dharr! Be quiet while with a funeral procession
and when in battle and recite the Holy Book!”
• Hazrat Ameer al Momineen (a.s.) said, “ There are five times of prayer, when it is
accepted: 1. While reciting the Quran. 2. When the Adhan is said. 3. While it is
raining (when the first rain drops fall on the land).. 4. At the time of battle when
the skirmish between the believers and the infidels is in progress. 5.When the
oppressed pray."
• When the Quran is recited, listen quietly and with intent. At that time quiet is
mandatory and talking taboo. Some jurists are of opinion that when the Imam
(a.s.) leads the prayer and recites the verses, the congregation should be quietly
standing behind him. Also the Prophet (a.s.) has exhorted ( Sunnat e muwakkida)
that people should quietly listen to the recitation of the Quran.
• Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that when a person hears quietly one word of
the Quran recited, Allah will apportion one reward for him and deletes one sin
from his account of deeds (Nama e Aamaal). The person will be advanced one
stage ahead in the Heaven for this act.
