5 Beautiful Dua For Jannah in Arabic and English
Jannah (Paradise) is the abode which Allah promised His pious servants. Muslims can draw closer to Allah by supplicating for entry into paradise in any form of dua for Jannah and comprehensive duas.
There are various hadeeths regarding the blessings of the inmates of Paradise. Prophet SAW said that the first group of people to enter Paradise will be shinning like the moon on a full-moon night. This is the best of groups.
It is also established from the Prophet SAW that the first people to enter Paradise are members of his Ummah. Then the ones who follow them will be like the most shinning planet in the sky.
Then the next group will be in accordance to their level. Part of the bliss of the people of Paradise is that they will eat and drink, but they will not have to urinate, pass excrement or blow their noses; all of their wastes are not those of the people of this world.
Their waste comes out like sweat whose smell is better than musk and the smell of their belch is better than the smell of musk because they are in everlasting bliss.
