:: JannaT [Garden] and Jannat ::
-
Salaam,
As I am saying since long that everyone should know at least how to read Arabic text of alQuraan for proper guidance. Here is an example and my personal understanding of the words "JannaT" and "Jannat" is used in alQuraan/alKitaab.
The word "Jannat" is used in two ways in alKitaab as
1- / used in 282 or / used in 5315 and
2- used in 6141There are two major differences in both the words
1- Use of "al" click here to check what "al" represent] and
2- Use of different "ta" at the end of each word. Transliteration in English of both words are as "aljannati" in 282 and "jannatin" in 6141. This transliteration is taken from here. Please note the letter "t" is used same for both transliteration of Arabic words, but in Arabic that is not the case.
Now with the help and permission of my theCreator, theMaker, theDesigner, Allah, we will see the difference between those two words and how it describes in alQuraan/alKitaab inshaAllah.
As we see there are two major differences between those two words . First is the usage of "al" which represents something that is available to you now, please click here to look at the meaning of "al" if you have not checked at the link given above.
Second difference is the usage of "ta" in both words.
/ - This "ta" is called "Taa Marbuta" means "tied/bound taa", this "ta" is written in both ways as shown.
- This "ta" is called "Taa Maftuha" means "open taa" refers to two ends of "ta" in both cases. Both ends of "ta" are closed in "taa marbuta" and both ends of "ta" are open in "taa maftuha".
alJannat with bound taa i.e., / means a Virtual Jannat and alJannat with open taa i.e., means a Physical Jannat .
is always referring in alQuraan/alKitaab to a Physical Jannat/Garden, either in this world or in hereafter. For example used in 6141 for a Jannat/Garden in this world and the same is used in 5612 for a Jannat/Garden in hereafter.
Now, what is a Virtual Jannat i.e., /? This Virtual Jannat is also defined very clearly and specifically in alQuraan/alKitaab in detail and you will be surprised to see that Adam click here to know more about Adam in detail] was also sent into this Virtual Jannat. Hence there is no physical Jannat/Garden so there are no fruits to eat and get naked.
20116
20116 And when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to man," and they prostrated, except Iblees; he refused.20117
20117 So We said, "O man, indeed this is an enemy to you and to your wife. Then let him not remove you from Jannat so you would suffer.20118
20118 Indeed, it is for you not to be hungry therein or be unclothed.20119
20119 And indeed, you will not be thirsty therein or be hot from the sun."Adam click here to know more about Adam in detail] and his spouse were given this Virtual Jannat or / as in 20117 above. And this Virtual Jannat is made up of 5 things
1- You will not suffer if you are in this Jannat as per 20117
2- You will not be hungry if you are in this Jannat as per 20118
3- You will not be unclothed/naked if you are in this Jannat as per 20118
4- You will not be thirsty if you are in this Jannat as per 20119
5- You will not be exposed to heat of sun if you are in this Jannat as per 20119If anyone is safe from all these 5 things, he/she is surely in / and have to be careful with the enemy mentioned in 20117. If we get into his trap, we will be kicked out of this Jannat.
This Virtual Jannat is never used in dual or plural in alQuraan/alKitaab , actually it cannot be doubled or multiplied unlike which is physical, can be used as dual or plural and you can see all those three forms already used in alQuraan/alKitaab for as
Singular - means my Jannat/Garden used in 8930
Dual - used in 3415 or used in 1832
Plural - used in 225Now, we will talk about our Virtual Jannat because we have to achieve it in this world and we already know how to get out of our Virtual Jannat or / easily. Now lets see how to get back in to this Jannat. The way to back in, is explained in 20123 for all.
20123
20123 said, "Descend from this - all, being enemies to one another. And if there should come to you guidance from Me - then whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray nor suffer.If we follow the guidance of Allah , which comes from Allah directly not via bukhari and company, ibn katheer, lexicon, tafseers, translations, articles, etc., we will not suffer as per 20123 and if we follow our enemy, mentioned in 20116-117, we will be kicked out of this Virtual Jannat/Worldly Jannat and will suffer as per 20117 . Please note that same word is used in both the aayaats, except for "fata" and "ya" used grammatically.
May Allah forgive me and correct me if I made any mistakes pr
Please note This is my personal understanding, please go through all aayaats and words used in in this article and study to confirm. Any comments, critics and suggests are welcome.
May Allah increase us in knowledge and guide us to His only path pr

Greetings and Peace, all group
Interesting...
It makes one ponder on the example of Paradise.
1335 The example of the Paradise which the righteous are promised, is that rivers flow beneath it, and its provisions are continuous as is its shade. Such is the abode of those who were righteous, while the abode of the rejecters is the Fire.
4715 Is the example of the Paradise; that the righteous have been promised with rivers of pure water, and rivers of milk whose taste does not change, and rivers of wine that are delicious for the drinkers, and rivers of strained honey, and for them in it are all kinds of fruits, and a forgiveness from their Lord; like that of those who abide in the Fire, and are given to drink boiling water that cuts-up their intestines?
ALLAH knows best.

Peace, I agree very strongly MMKhan. Although I did not look at the arabic grammar/syntax I did observe that nuance between the two forms of jannat although having missed out the arabic knowledge lead to some confusing questions like "why did we have to descend", why are we ascending, how do you descend from a physical jannat, etc.
It is clear to me however that we were always on Earth. The universe is a work in progress. So the early jannat could only really be a state of liberation from which we fell. But on the other hand, the jannat of the hereafter is very physical and not only that but it is the merging of both conceptions, virtual and physical altogether.
There is an incredibly strong parallel between what you are saying here about abiding in this state of virtual jannat and the path of Zen or Taoism. Zen is something you cultivate, like a garden within yourself and the water/light/nourishment is the adhering to the actions which are in line with the Tao or as we call it in this circle, Sunnatullah. Doing bad deeds causes one to slip out of Zen, doing good deeds draws you back in. I feel very happy reading posts like these as it confirms yet again that there is a central core truth that is accessible to all humans by looking at the light shining within, irrespective of where God has placed you on Earth.
Please do look further into Zen. I have experienced a few times abiding in something like the state you describe, where all of one's needs are fully attended to by God and in return one is fully attending to God's commandments. The sensation of being wrapped in a warm protective blanket and a constantly sunny day wherever you go, totally free of suffering and negativity. It's something that most people outside of the fold of truth-seeking find incredibly hard to believe is even remotely possible but then God did promise to make the lives of those who reject His commands very miserable.

Peace IAMOP,
I agree with you 100% handshake and very happy to know that you understand what I was trying to say, alhamduliAllah.

AlhamduliAllah! I experienced this a lot by my theCreator's grace and blessings and also people who study alQuraan with me also experienced it. And now I am glad to here that you also experience this, mashaAllah D May Allah be praised hail
This thing cannot be explained but one has to be in that state to understand what is it all about.

peaceI totally agree with you. I try to explain this part on other thread also, but it seems most people fail to understand or realize it.

Yes, indeed, very interesting. I will do what MMkhan suggest and go thorugh the occurrences of the word in both shapes. Nothing like seeing by oneself, and so the work done by the initial poster will be honoured. Great fin, indeed.
Salaam
Peace huruf,
Thank you! And I am happy to know that someone decided to go through the occurrences of both words used in opening post. In fact, it is needed, I could be able to correct myself if someone points out where I made mistakes.
