And the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam in fact likened iman, he likened faith to a garment, and said that you need to care for it in the same way you would care for a garment. He said, SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam, that verily faith wears out in your heart the same way that a garment does. Sometimes, especially if you've been Muslim for a long time, faith loses its color and it loses its shine. So ask Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la to revive the faith in your heart. If your iman was a garment, what would it look like right now? Keep it new, beautiful, and keep it fresh, and let Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la dress you with the result of it on the day of judgment and in paradise. So now as we are going out to eat and drink and feast with the people, what is it that we are wearing in Jannah? The Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam said that whoever wears silk in this world will not wear it in the hereafter. And he said in another narration, SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam, whoever wears gold in this world will not wear it in the hereafter. And the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam, of course, is speaking specifically to men. And this is very similar to when the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam said, whoever drinks wine in this world will not drink it in the hereafter. And so you'll notice this connection between abstaining from certain drinks in this life and abstaining from certain garments and adornment in this life so that you could have it in the hereafter instead. And so Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la often in the Quran connects the drinks of paradise with the dress of paradise. He says in Surah Al-Insan,
Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la will reward them for their patience with a garden and with silk robes. And then a few verses later, Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la says that the virtuous will be dressed in garments of fine green silk and rich brocade and adorned with bracelets of silver. And as we said with these robes and with the clothes of the people of Jannah, you don't have to grab them off of the rack. Instead, you grab them off of the branches of the trees that Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la has provided to you. Imam Al-Qayyim Rahim Allah says about this verse in Surah Al-Insan, upon the virtuous of them, that it shows that this is an outer garment on top of the garments that Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la has given to you. So it's like Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la is further adorning you with robes to demonstrate your rank and your virtue. It's not concealing anything, just like how you add garments for decoration and beauty. And he said, consider how Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la mentions both the beauty of the outside of the person with the garments that he adorns them with and the pleasure of the inside of the person with the pure wine and drink that he's giving to them. So you've already bathed in the rivers of Jannah that removed any impurity and imperfection inside out. And now Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la is increasing your pleasure through wine and drink on the inside and adornment on the outside. And if the drinks are precise in Jannah, when Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la says, they're in perfect proportion. Imagine how perfectly fitted the tailored clothes of Jannah are. Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la says, And here they will be adorned with golden bracelets and pearls, and there they will have silken garments. Now you have the wine and you have the silk garments, and now you have gold
bracelets. And these bracelets will not just be gold, but they'll also have exotic pearls on them. And how are the bracelets being made? Now, SubhanAllah, we mentioned in the previous episode that you have a bull that is grazing in Jannah ready to be sacrificed for you. So is there a jeweler in Jannah for you? Ka'b radiAllahu ta'ala said that Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la has created an angel who is assigned with the duty of shaping the jewelry of the people of Paradise until the Day of Judgment. So just like your palaces, your food, your drink, your gardens are already in preparation, your jewelry is already being made by an angel in Paradise. And he said that if one bangle of the jewelry of the people of Paradise was brought out, it would diminish the light of the sun. So imagine if the entire sets of jewelry of the people of Paradise were shown to this world. SubhanAllah, people try to stack valleys of gold in this life and they're never satisfied, even though they know they can't take it with them to the grave. But imagine one carat of gold, one pearl from Jannah is better than the entire world and everything that is within it. And the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam confirmed this in one hadith. He said, if as little as what could be placed on a fingernail of what is in Paradise were to become apparent to the people of this world, it would have beautified the entirety of the heavens and the earth. And if a man among the people of Paradise were to appear and his bracelets were made apparent, it would blot out the light of the sun. In another narration, one pearl from the dress of a woman of Paradise would light up what is between the East and the West. And in one narration, the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam said, they will have bracelets of gold and silver, garlands of pearl and ruby, and they will have crowns on them like the crowns of kings. But what are these crowns on their heads from? And is there a difference between them? While everyone in Jannah has some sort of a crown, not all crowns are equal. And the greatest crown
is the crown of the Qur'an for the Hifadh and for their parents. The Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam said that the parents of the one who memorizes the Qur'an will be dressed with two robes, which could not be valued by anything in this world. And they will say as they are being dressed with this robe, Ya Rabb, O our Lord, why are we given this? And it will be said to them, because of your child's learning of the Qur'an. And of course, the Shaheed has a crown that is unlike any other crown. And it's narrated from Al-Muqdad radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu, that a crown of honor will be placed upon the head of the Shaheed. One ruby of that crown is better than this world and everything that is in it. Now as for the combs, and why do you need combs if your hair is never disheveled, right? The combs are of gold and that's merely to add beauty. So every time you comb your hair in Jannah, it merely adds to its beauty, but you're not fixing anything in Jannah. In the same way that we have perfume, even though the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam said what? We naturally smell like musk. So this is just to add to your fragrance in Al-Jannah. And of course, this is the same thing with the outer garments that we mentioned that don't need to conceal anything, but only further beautify us. Now before you ask yourself, what type of garment you would want in Paradise, ask yourself now, what type of a garment are you in this dunya? Do you conceal your brother's faults so that you may be concealed and beautified in Paradise? If you're married, are you a garment to your spouse? Hunna libasun lakum wa antum libasun nahum. You are a garment to them, and they are a garment to you. Do you clothe yourself out of modesty in this life? Because the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam mentioned that those who are dressed but in actuality not really wearing anything would not even smell Jannah. Do you clothe your brothers and sisters in need, out of gratitude, so that Allah Ash-Shakur clothes you in a way that makes you forever grateful in Jannah? And finally, do you adorn yourself with libasun taqwa, the garment of piety, none of which
is more beautiful than the Qur'an?
