The first two pictures depict date palm trees, the third and fourth are banana trees, and the last one is a pomegranate tree. Now visualize a garden or an oasis in your mind where you find a mixture of these trees across a wide area. Visualize that these trees have trunks of gold instead of wood, and have emerlads as its leaves. While you are in the midst of these trees, imagine the voices of birds come from the background, filling your heart with peace, and think of pleasent breeze moving across the garden such that while it passes in between the tree trunks it causes the most beautiful of all sounds to emerge, a sound more beautiful than any earthly music. Concentrate now on the abundant number of dates, bananas, and pomegranates that have emerged from the trees, such that its beauty and taste is matchless. Visualize now a river whiter than milk that goes and flows underneath these trees, and visualize a yellow soil, giving the perfume of musk, over which the trees of this garden have been planted/raised.
Isnt the place vizualized a beautiful place to be? The Jannah which Allah has promised to his slaves is a place even more beautiful than this vizualized oasis. It is a place where the joys and pleasures of its gardens, its comfort, its peace, its happiness, the sweet taste of its fruits is never ending, and infact it excels even further with the passage of time. Tell me what will be your state of mind when you are informed that this place will be your eternal abode? your happiness will know no bounds.
However remember that only those men and women will have this glad tiding who accepted the Tawheed in the full sense, pursued the millah of Ibraheem, perfected and completed their eman , and traded this worldly life that is bound to end, forgotten and perish with the eternal life of the hereafter.
Only those who come with saleem hearts [ hearts that are void of shirk and evil desires], will manage entry and residence in this garden whose enjoyment, peace, pleasure and happiness knows no bounds. Reflect on this matter and concentrate.
