About This Book:

"A Description of Paradise: In addition to the immaterial promises, "Nuniyyah" creates an image of Paradise as the ultimate reward for the righteous. Such description is a literary creation expounding the glorification, and the magnificence of Paradise in the poetic work. Using artful language, and a perspective that is beyond what the (Heaven) eye can see, and the beauty of what the soul adores, this book uncovers the celestial wonder and spiritual beauty that awaits believers in the Hereafter, hinting at what the Paradise might look like.

Poetic Elegance:

It is a book that glorifies and applauds the poetic adaptability and literary genius of Nuniyyah, the absolute of poems which provided a clear scene in my eyes regarding the joys and pleasures of Paradise. The lyrical and vivid descriptions, the metaphorical language, and the songs of the poets bring the world of eye-catching beauty and quiet for the hearts, where the soul finds the meaning of the life near an all knowing presence.

Heavenly Abodes and Delights:

"A Description of Paradise" deals with the earthly abodes as the latter are intimately intertwined with the celestial abodes in line with the promise made to believers to reside in the Paradise which is described in the work by Nuniyyah as abounding with lying lush gardens, flowing rivers, and stately dwelling houses. As they become engulfed by musky scents and the alluring taste of fruits, the readers ironically experience the very pinnacle of unending rapture and contentment.

Spiritual Reflections:

Besides its aesthetic beauty, the book goes on more profound spiritual reflection on the signification of Paradise in Islamic theology as well as the Islahic teachings on the end of the world. The Quranic verses and prophetic traditions are employed for this purpose, to allow readers to meditate over the eternal bliss promised to those who believe and hit the bullseye with righteousness and strive hard for piety. Therefore, they will be motivated and get on with their lives on a journey full of faith and virtue.
