Day 21 | Ayat 30-31 | Jannah

In the final Ayats of this first section, Ayat 30-31 speak about the splendid beauty of Jannah. It is in sharp contrast to the Hellfire that was previous mentioned. In hellfire, water relief comes in the form of boiling oil or blood and pus, whereas in Jannahtu-Adn, the everlasting paradise, lush gardens have flowing rivers. In Hellfire, their bodies are blackened from being burned and their faces melt off from the scalding heat. In Jannah, people are adorned with jewelry and robes of fine silk and brocade. The colors are starkly different. In Jannah, green is mentioned, and rivers are light, blue or clear in this life so assumed so in the next. Lush gardens evoke a scene of beauty and serenity and relaxation. It seems cool not cold, bright not glaring, and adorned with every beauty this world has known plus all we have yet to know. The beauty of this world is a test, yet the beauty of the hereafter is an enjoyment and a relaxation.
