Jannah

Jannah (Arabic: جَنَّة), also known as Firdaus (Arabic: فِرْدَوس), is the Islamic concept of paradise. It is often translated as "Garden" or "Paradise" in English, and as גן עדן (Gan Eden) in Hebrew. In Islamic eschatology, Jannah is described as a place of eternal bliss and delight, where the righteous will dwell in the presence of God after the Day of Judgment. It is characterized by the absence of suffering, the fulfillment of all desires, and the enjoyment of various pleasures, both physical and spiritual. The concept of Jannah is central to Islamic belief and serves as a motivation for righteous conduct in this life. In other languages, Jannah is known as Cennet in Turkish, Beheşte in Persian, and Jannah or Firdaus in Urdu and other languages influenced by Arabic.

Jannah
In Islam, Jannah is the final and permanent abode of the righteous. According to one count, the word appears 147 times in the Qur'an. Belief in the afterlife is one of the six articles of faith in Islam and is a place in which "believers" will enjoy pleasure, while the disbelievers (Kafir) will suffer in Jahannam. Both Jannah and Jahannam are believed to have several levels. In the case of Jannah, the higher levels are more desirable, and in the case of Jahannam, the lower levels have more excruciating punishments — in Jannah the higher the prestige and pleasure, in Jahannam the suffering will be severe. The afterlife experiences are described as physical, psychic and spiritual.
