we have a lot of questions about heaven and we think you will be interested in them too are you ready it's said that we will be able to see allah in heaven how is this going to happen will everyone be able to see him since people get bored staying in the same place all the time wouldn't it be boring for them to stay in heaven forever are women in heaven required to marry the same husbands they have in this life if she only married once would she have a right to choose in having someone else instead of her husband in this life we have a lot of questions about heaven and we think you will be interested in them too are you ready i am ready i mean the reason why questions about heaven are difficult to comprehend is that you know if you put a ton on a weight scale which is designed to weigh only 300 kilograms max it won't work right so actually there is a really beautiful side to the difficulty human minds have in terms of comprehending heaven which is eternal heaven is such a great place that it challenges the limits of our minds if you talk to a baby in the womb about the world outside how much can they understand they only know darkness so when you talk to people in the world about heaven they have a difficult time comprehending eternity in their limited minds that's why these questions are said to be difficult but all of them have answers inshallah so let's get started can you prove the existence of heaven to us first of all existence of the hereafter can only be proved to someone who believes in allah in the tenth chapter of risale nur which is a tafseer of the quran it is proved as follows generally the oppressor leaves this world while still in possession of his might and the oppressed while still being subjected to humiliation is it at all possible that the oppressor is not punished and the oppressed is not compensated while there's a creator of this universe while allah has created everything but when we look at the world men like hitler murdered millions of people and the movie ended without them being punished at all did it actually finish no the actual movie is just getting started there is a need for hell to punish the oppressor and a need for heaven to reward those that were oppressed i mean look how a seed beneath the soil continues to decay until a new plant blossoms a new flower blooms so just like a seed decays a person who is buried will decay and bear fruit for a new life just like a plant since people get bored staying in the same place all the time wouldn't it be boring for them to stay in heaven forever yes when life is monotonous it's boring but heaven is not a monotonous place i mean it's not an ordinary place it constantly keeps changing for example when you eat an apple in heaven it's not like the second apple you eat in this world which is less delicious flavors continue to increase and there is an unlimited variety there's a very different life there allah has made even the biggest happiness in this world boring after it lasts for a certain time for example i used to play counter-strike for hours in the past because i used to enjoy playing it a lot i used to play for an hour and talk about it for three hours with friends so why am i not playing counter-strike anymore i know it was such a fun activity so even the most fun things become repetitive after a while and you start getting bored allah has created the world this way why if we never get bored we would be so busy with this world with all our senses and feelings that we would never pay attention into the hereafter but what has happened now i sit in front of the computer for seven to eight hours then start feeling bored by saying that then you don't desire them anymore you start looking for something else within yourself so since allah hasn't created this boredom in heaven as he created in this world we won't get bored even if we do the same things now think about it there is allah who controls all these stars with their heat and light as well as the atoms you question am i going to get bored allah who controls all these galaxies the universe atoms and subatomic particles can easily prevent you from getting bored it is said that we could be in multiple locations at the same time in heaven how is this possible so we are already going to an inconceivable place i mean for a baby in the womb this world is such an inconceivable place right it has only seen darkness and knows nothing if you compare this world in heaven people are going to an unimaginable place let me give you an example of the sun there is only one sun yet it's in my palm as well as yours at the same time it can exist in the forehead of a man in a different city with its heat and light at the same time too i mean even if the sun is one it's in billions of locations when allah gives this capability to the sun which is one of his creations why wouldn't he give mankind such capability i mean we're talking about the almighty creator if everything we want would be materialized in heaven let's think i am playing soccer with a friend in heaven yes my friend is the goalkeeper and i'm shooting i want to score and he wants to save the goal which one of our wants would be materialized yes a question that seems to be a paradox whatever we want in heaven will be materialized but you will not want something like this i mean of course there are certain conditions in heaven i mean for example you may say in heaven i want the world to be reconstructed and the test to restart and all the people to return to the world would there be a return no so there are certain rules and conditions there as well but as i said you will not ask for these when you go there you will enter such a place where there are great attractions that these things won't even cross your mind hence you will not ask for something like this says it will not be something important everything you desire and anything that satisfies and pleases you will be there you won't even look anything more i mean if i put a wide variety of food in front of you if all the food you love is there there will be a countless number of different food there would you say i don't care i want pasta you won't even look for pasta be relaxed let's just go there but i want to get a clear answer i'm facing the goalkeeper the goalkeeper and i are both in heaven i want to score and he wants to prevent it which one will be materialized you won't ask for such a thing because when we go to heaven inshallah we will go there without any negative feelings i mean jealousy competition domination because we will enter without all of these you won't have such a desire there when you enter such a place with such attractions you won't even think about this desire such desires won't even cross your mind i mean whether you score or concede a goal you'd be happy for example does one sleep in heaven when i say there is no sleeping in heaven many of my friends get upset there could be some who may say brother i sleep five hours a day so i want to sleep five years when i'm in heaven but no why there is no need for sleeping i mean we sleep when we get tired or to get relaxed here in this world right we want to sleep because of such things there's no getting tired in heaven so there are some things that won't exist in heaven in a number of verses in the quran gardens rivers and fruits are mentioned are the great blessings in heaven only these was this religion revealed only for the arabs so that things that are not abundant there are mentioned if we said imagine a nice view imagine heaven what would everyone imagine waterfalls rivers you put a watermelon here you're having a barbecue there these blessings are beautiful no matter where you are from river is beautiful everywhere greenery is beautiful everywhere if you say i live in a green place so it's not special for me you would understand how much of a blessing it is if it was taken away from you and you were left in a desert other than that does the quran have to list the names of all the fruits if the names of over a hundred thousand fruits are included in the quran can you imagine the size of the quran it would be the size of a skyscraper of course it will mention some of the blessings and not all the quran mentioned several fruits over a certain subject gives the necessary lessons and proceeds to another subject if everything we want is in heaven will we be able to see someone in hell or bring them over to us in heaven of course we don't 100 know what will happen there since allah the almighty promised us that we will be happy in heaven there won't be any sadness there possibilities in terms of what could happen include that you don't remember your relatives in hell so you don't feel any sort of regret or allah may send you an angel with the same looking person as one of them to make you feel good or you could be such a pious slave of allah that he may let you be an intercessor for them you could ask allah for their salvation and if he accepts your request you could help save them from hell we know that heaven consists of eight levels when i am at level one am i not going to be able to meet my friend who is in level eight yes this is also a frequently asked question everyone will be with those whom he loves the prophet peace be upon him said how will we be together now you are at level eight and i am at level 1.

think about it this way syed nursei gave a very beautiful example about this imagine we are on a hill which has the most beautiful views in the world and there's a wonderful food from the most beautiful cuisines there we sit together at a circular table three of us are eating together your level is eight and mine is one we sit together we talk to each other i mean there's no wall between us allah gave you a stronger sense of taste and you taste more flavors than i do your ears hear much better than mine you hear much more beautiful voices your eyes can see much further so you can also enjoy the views far away i mean although we are sitting around the same table the flavors we taste are different i taste the flavors of level one and you taste the flavors of level eight but we are around the same table we can talk to each other when we meet the prophet peace be upon him similar things will happen i mean we sit around the same table i'm at level one and the other person is at level eight in this case wouldn't i be upset and jealous thinking that the other person enjoyed more than i did so we go to heaven without any negative feelings jealousy competition was i able to explain i'm at level 1 and he is at level 8.

i taste the flavor of apple allah knows what kind of flavors he tastes it's not like this think about it this way would a father be happy or jealous when his kid gets admitted to a top university a father doesn't get jealous he gets happy because it's his kid right similarly for example i am at level 1 in heaven and you are at level 8.

when you get so much happiness i get even happier just like a mother doesn't get jealous of her children a father doesn't get jealous of his children and feels happy for their happiness i mean how many friends and people do you have around you level 7 level 8 level 6 you're at level 1 but you don't feel sad because you're already blessed so much when they enjoy you also get happy if your child struggles you feel sad right what happens when they get happy you also get happy so because we are free from all the negative feelings like jealousy and competition when people have heaven enjoy more than we do it only makes us happier for example the prophet peace be upon him will enjoy more than all of us will you be jealous of him how could the things that are haram here in this world be halal in heaven the things that are haram and to be avoided here why are they rewarded there here you can't drink alcohol but you will drink wine there will you drink wine of course i will it is mentioned in the quran wine is not something i have come up with wine in heaven is like this you lose your cognitive ability when you drink alcohol here in this world but wine you drink it in heaven it will only make you happy and give you joy you won't lose your consciousness heaven only consists of things that make you happy for example i have a question for you why is poor kahara isn't it because pigs consume their own dung no it's the benefit what is the reason because allah said it's haram that's why we don't eat it if you say otherwise someone could say alcohol is good for my health and drink it why is alcohol haram because allah prohibited that's why it's haram along with this we can say that it has harmful effects on health now something to be halal or haram depends on allah's order well how could something haram in this world be halal in the hereafter allah decrees some things to be halal and some to be haram in this world he tests your loyalty here this world is a place of test well is there a test in the hereafter no if allah says something is halal it's halal if allah says something is haram it's when allah says in heaven that everything i have created is halal for you everything will be halal for us also it's out of question that something would be harmful for health there i mean there is no problem let's just go there brother it said that we will be able to see allah in heaven how will that happen and will everyone be able to see him the prophet peace be upon him says in a meaning of a hadith that a thousand years of happiness in this world is not worth even one hour of life in paradise and that a thousand years of heavenly life is not worth one hour's contemplation of the all-glorious one relying on many hadith similar to this one the sunni scholars with the consensus say that allah will be seen in heaven some will see allah every friday and some will see him less frequently but how will this seeing of allah be what form will it take this subject is not clear yes we will see allah we will feel this some way but don't think about it as you see with your worldly eyes how it will be is not known but there is seeing and sensing allah will women in heaven be required to marry the same husbands they have in this world if she only married once would she have a right to choose someone else instead of her husband in this life first of all if we don't love our spouses it's because of their bad habits if your spouse is someone who goes to heaven and you go to heaven too both of you will be free from your bad habits when you go there and you both will be physically more beautiful as well so you may like your spouses whom you don't like in this world after they are free from those bad habits saying they have become such nice people our lord says that dishes and goblets of gold will be passed around them with all that their souls desire and their eyes delighting there you will remain then in heaven if you don't want to be married to the person you are married to in this world of course there is such a freedom you can marry someone else you know single people also die in this world what happens to them there are in heaven there are women and men from this world i mean these women and men may also come together am i able to explain i mean it's not like men go and marry hur imagine you die as a single person and a sister dies as a single person there could be marriage between you two while men are given in heaven what are women given now most of the blessings in heaven are mutual but some are more important for women and some are more important for men isn't it the same in this world for example a car is more interesting for men most of the time do you have an interest in wearing a fancy dress or wearing golden bracelets brother no right so some blessings are interesting for women some are interesting for men and some are the same for both for example having a cup of latte is good for both women and men now in the matter of giving hood to men in heaven there is such a situation because of men's nature they made a survey in a quranic school there were 100 teenage girls and 100 teenage boys the question was if you had a right to do something now and if it was not a sin whatever you do is not a sin you could do anything you want you only have one wish whatever you wish write it on paper they said boys had written the same thing without any exception teenage boys they are as i understand they all had written something like marriage there wasn't a clear answer among the girls boy's answer was clear they had immediately written it you know there was no such suggestion like would this or that be better or something but the girls had returned the paper and had asked can i write again depends on the situation i am undecided they had a conversation like this showing that they wanted different things i mean it depends on men's nature and women's nature well why does someone who asks this question asks this question you think her husband is someone who will go to heaven she herself will go to heaven inshallah my husband with another how is this going to be thinking about it bothers her when we go to heaven because we will be free from feelings like jealousy there won't be such jealousy i know it's still a little difficult to accept it despite this knowledge why because i'm telling you what will happen when you won't have any feelings of jealousy but you are listening to my question when you have feelings of jealousy of course you won't get it that's why they say this weight scale fails to measure such a great weight but we can clearly think about it like this our lord is so merciful powerful and promised everyone will be happy i mean when you go to heaven and think where is your husband you won't go to a corner and start crying you will be happy he will be happy everyone will be happy since allah will give that woman such beauty that exceeds the beauty of hud i mean that man will marry his wife why do you ask these questions to me like you swear at me or insult me i feel really offended i mean if you ask for examples like this there are some questions we are struggling to answer about heaven can you please prove the existence of heaven to us for example do you think the number of stars or more or the number of sands in the deserts here we are the only one who asked the questions we receive only the answers you didn't come here to receive an answer but to give an answer just say you don't know anyway the number of sands in the desert hello brothers and sisters and
