Are there airports and airplanes in Paradise? (ISLAM)

Islam Q & A ^ | 10 March 2003 | Supervised by Shaikh M. S. Al-Munajjid

[Salman]

Question:

This might sound very childish but I would like to know if someone likes something on earth very much , like an airplane for example , can he get one in heaven ? can he get an airport as well ?.

Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

This question is not childish, rather it is prescribed for the intelligent person to ask questions, seek benefits and look for that which will increase his longing for Paradise and make him strive harder to reach it. Some of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked him similar questions to this.

It was narrated from Sulaymaan ibn Buraydah from his father that a man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), “O Messenger of Allaah, are there horses in Paradise?” He said, “If Allaah admits you to Paradise, any time you wish to be carried on a horse of red rubies that will fly with you wherever you want in Paradise, you will do that.” Another man asked him, “O Messenger of Allaah, will there be camels in Paradise?” and he did not say to him something like he said to his companion. He said, “If Allaah admits you to Paradise, you will have there whatever your heart desires.”

[Salman]

Hey, Imam!

Are there skyscrapers in Paradise?

[MarineDad]

Another man asked him, “O Messenger of Allaah, will there be camels in Paradise?” and he did not say to him something like he said to his companion. He said, “If Allaah admits you to Paradise, you will have there whatever your heart desires.”

Goats, too. Can't be a raghead paradise without goats now, can it?

[cardinal4]

Hey, Imam? Is there Ricin in Paradise?

[avg_freeper]

Are there cheeseburgers in paradise?

[APBaer]

In heaven there is no beer
That's why he must drink it while we're here!

[Paradox]

Another man asked him, “O Messenger of Allaah, will there be camels in Paradise?”

"Yes of course, why would Allah not want you to be fulfilled in Paradise? Your love life will not suffer.

[MarineDad]

When the faithful get there, they'll discover that paradise more closely resembles this:

Knee-High Cat Feces Found In Home

[APBaer]

"“O Messenger of Allaah, are there horses in Paradise?”"

Perhaps he was checking our the horses in preference to the virgins?

[sheik yerbouty]

The iman has neglected to mention the many flocks of goats..

[TADSLOS]

“If Allaah admits you to Paradise, you will have there whatever your heart desires.”

SIGN ME UP!! (No, I swear that isn't me in the middle)

The tragic thing for radical Muslims who want airplanes in Paradise is that they won't be able to kill anyone with them, since everyone in Paradise is already dead.

Here's a real question. Will SUVs be allowed in Paradise?

[cardinal4]

Heh, heh. Having lived in the middle east, I can assure you islamists and arabs have no problem living in filth and S**t.

[Waving hand frantically in the air}

I WANT A CAMEL
I WANT A CAMEL

[cardinal4]

Another thing I remember about the filth in Jeddah; the rats. They had rats there that you could put a saddle on. They were down by the port, where the Arab families would congregate at night. They would spread blankets and food out on the dirt ground where rats and feces were and eat. These arent poor people, either. Keep in mind, in the Magic Kingdom, you dont have to be poor if you dont want to. Housing, jobs, etc were provided by the House of Saud. Yet, one of the biggest squatter colonies, or cardboard box "cities" was in Jeddah. Go figure.

[ibbryn]

I want Tivo in Paradise. With a lifetime subscription!

I take this as proof they are all going to Hell. The earthly portals to Hell are all located in airports. O'Hare and Frankfurt and, especially, the endless construction project at Heathrow.

[cardinal4]

We too our two young boys to Traverse City from Saint Louis and had to change planes at ORD. You are correct, that is a nightmare airport.

I heard they were going to meet 72 men from Virginia.
