The Prophet
said, "Paradise and the Fire (Hell) argued, and the
Fire (Hell) said, 'I have been given the privilege of receiving the arrogant
and the tyrants.' Paradise said, 'What is the matter with me? Why do only
the weak and the humble among the people enter me?' On that, Allah said to
Paradise, 'You are My Mercy which I bestow on whoever I wish of my servants.'
Then Allah said to the (Hell) Fire, 'You are my (means of) punishment by
which I punish whoever I wish of my slaves. And each of you will have its
fill.' As for the Fire (Hell), it will not be filled till Allah puts His
Foot over it whereupon it will say, 'Qati! Qati!' At that time it will be
filled, and its different parts will come closer to each other; and Allah
will not wrong any of His created beings. As regards Paradise, Allah will
create a new creation to fill it with."

the aloe wood will be used, and their sweat will smell like musk. Everyone
of them will have two wives; the marrow of the bones of the wives' legs will
be seen through the flesh out of excessive beauty. They (i.e. the people
of Paradise) will neither have differences nor hatred amongst themselves;
their hearts will be as if one heart and they will be glorifying Allah in
the morning and in the evening."

Do you think there is only one Paradise? There are many Paradises and your son is in the (most superior) Paradise of Al-Firdaus."

Had I not found it difficult for my followers, then I would not remain behind any sariya going for Jihad and I would have loved to be martyred in Allah's cause and then made alive, and then martyred and then made alive, and then again martyred in His cause."
